if the inpropable happens and juan mata joins us ......

can we establish beforehand who wants him and who doesnt so if it fails u can say i told you so ... im in the please let it happen camp

In a list of pointless, nonsense pure threads, this would finish at number one.

I was impressed at his use of a word as big as improbable, until I noticed he'd spelt it wrong :shakehead:

Pure on another "truth" mission.

Convinced that we should stand or fall by our irrelevant hunches on players...

where we will at some point in the future be held accountable for our hunches, got that ?!!

Pure's taking names down !!

..no one expects the Middleton Inquisition.

really??! well I £#%&!ing never!! I thought you of all people would be on the list of no-one whatsoever, who didn't.

I don't want him. Knowing Moyes he'll be in central midfield or left back. Will be wasted by Moyes, just like Kagawa.

Pure failed English? That's unpossible!

Can we do a fantasy starting line up with him included yet? How about some chants? Yes? Oh goodo.

Can't wait. Mata 8 shirt on order.

Mata - Evans - Smalling - Evra
Valencia - Carrick - Fletcher - Young
Pea - Welbeck

To play Kagawa
But in the end
I had to play Juan Mata

Top tune tbh

In answer to the original question, my opinion is very similar to the Van Persie signing, in that he's obviously a superb player, but I would prefer it if we were addressing other areas of the squad, especially with the kind of money that is being talked about. £37m+ could get us pretty much any of the world-class/top-class central midfielders we're being linked with.

I also have reservations about how Moyes would use Mata. If he's going to use him as a foil to work with Kagawa and Januzaj to bring about a much more attractive, incisive style of intricate, creative football then it's all good, but is he really going to do that?

Anther thing, (and I know it's quite sad), but I'm pretty underwhelmed when we're linked with players from domestic rivals. I'd much rather we went out and got some enigmatic talent from abroad who is completely new to English football.

In summary, I'd prefer a Vidal or a Gundogan to signing Mata, but obviously I'd take it if he signed, as he's a fantastic player who would link brilliantly with our attackers.
