Juan Manuel Mata

[[FCB]Messi[10]

do you think Mata is better than Silva?

Mata is not better then Silva no body said that. But Silva would be costing Barca more money then Mata and Mata is a great player just like Silva. But either one of these 2 would be a great replacement for Henry.

Being Barca.. don't care about the money- only care about the BEST possible improvement. I'd like Aguero there

 

[La Furia]

Except Aguero is more inconsistent and is mediocre on the sides.

do you think Mata is better than Silva?

I feel Mata has more to offer than Silva: he is a better finisher, he is is physically stronger, he scores important goals, he's good in the air and he is more versatile.

^ How is he more versatile? Can he play in the midfield as well?

 

[FlyLo]

Silva is too much like Iniesta (and a lesser version too). Mata offers us something we don't already have.

 

[zanela]

Its better to 've 2 Iniestas thn 1 no? :biggrin:
I prefer versatile & more creative players.

^ How is he more versatile? Can he play in the midfield as well?

Yes. As a winger. Silva can only play as a LAM and a CAM. Mata can play as LAM, RAM, RW, LW, SS and even as a Striker.

The thing is we have Xavi, Inie and Messi to play as AMs, we need a guy for Henry's spot. While Silva is a good player (I've been a fan since his Celta loan and I rate him highly) he won't give us enough goals..

[beautifulgame]

PFFFFFF. Did you miss the formation I posted?

 

[diegomessi]

i'll take mata and silva plz... and y not throw in villa

 

[Aryagorn]

What happened to him this season!? He scored 10 goals, so looks like he's gonna score more than last year... but what about his team play!? His assists seem to have dried up!! Is he playing more of a central role now?

 

[Leroy]

Do Madrid have any sort of buy-back option on him?

 

[barca96]

i don't want mata.
madrid's gonna say that we take their players like we did with lusi enrique.
at least luis enrique didn't come up through their youth(i think) set up like mata.

 

[Aryagorn]

OMG, this guy's finishes keep growing on me!! and what a free kick as well... involved in all the 3 goals against xerez
