Very tough moment for me. You won dunk...

Call it 1-1...

And we both lost, really, I would much prefer him to have been a resounding success and be wrong

Won't we miss his "hugs", though?

Classy player and bloke. Those goals against Liverpool

Everton ffs much better than that.

It was Van Gaals 7th game or something. Hed won about 2 at that point

Shame because he's a classy bastard who has produced some great individual moments and seems like an all-round top fella........but he never really fit in, felt like a status signing from day one and his talents have been marginalised. He deserves to be more pivotal somewhere else.

Good luck to him wherever he goes. One of the good guys

This

He'll be back as a club ambassador when he retires nqat

was pretty gutted to hear this news until I seen he's only brought saffers and dunk together. Resigned to a career at £#%&!ing Everton and he's still sorting online feuds between top reds

In this day of £30million bids for Troy £#%&!ing Deeney if we get less than that for little Juan it would be a travesty.

I doubt troy deeney will be getting paid 100k+ pw, the fact we pay average players obscene wages means we struggle to get any decent fee when we move them on.

Koeman was his manager in his first season at Valencia, so makes a little more sense. Great signing for them if they pull it off.

If we sell Mata for about the same fee we pay Dortmund for Mkhitaryan then that's great business

He's just too weak and slow for a side looking to win the biggest trophies

There are about ten players we should looking to get rid of ahead of Mata. Young, Valencia, Fellaini and a loan move for Januzaj just for starters. Herrera possibly too.

had some great moments but never quite had the impact we were hoping for

probably because moyes and van gaal kept playing him on the wing when he clearly isn't a winger

love the guy, wish him the best of luck because he's just such a lovely man, made me question my heterosexuality on one or two occasions, nqat.

brilliant player who did the business for us at some really key moments as well...

largely let down by team selections and tactics.

90 starts, 26 goals, 56 assists. class
