Ozil's top level is better than Mata's top level imo. Ozil on his day is right up there with Gotze, Silva etc.

Yeah on his day (which is once a bluemoon) but my point was that apparently in the last few weeks ozil has put in a performance better than mata has ever done before in his whole career? Its a load of bollocks and clearly not true.

It's clearly true. The problem is just that I know the player since his Spanish youth days whereas you United fans know the Sky Sports hype of the player and his freekick goal against De Gea from a couple seasons back. But now that he's joined you, you are dumbfounded why he isn't anything special and looks surplus to requirements so you're adamant that it's just the "system" that is failing him from reaching his Iniesta level potential or that "no one is playing with an AM these days". Yet all you needed to do was go a couple pages back in this thread and read how I was pissing myself that United would pay almost 50 million Euros for Mata at a time when his hype was SKY high.

Van Gaal has benched him for 6 games straight apparently; one does not need a bigger message than that. I think Juan will be back in Spain next year; probably Atletico? Or does anyone think Pep might take a punt and bring him to Germany?

Maybe back to Valencia? They can afford him now.

One rumor about him that makes sense is Mata + cash for Pogba. Again, just a rumor but it'd be beneficial for all parties.

Not sure why you'd say that. He'll be phenomenal in a midfield three of him/Herrera/Blind or a diamond of him/ADM/Herrera/Blind.
