Mata is a 20/25 a season player. He would walk into their team. Ridiculous question. It's like saying Xavi or Iniesta wouldn't get into their team because they're finesse players for instance.

This Mata can't play out wide might be the biggest myth of all time. His two best seasons at Valencia were from LW. He was just as good as he is now in his first 3/4 months under AVB playing LW too. Stop spouting nonsense already. Here's Juan ripping Villarreal to shreds as a winger.

Have a feeling he'll score on Monday.

Could have spent that £50m towards Willian and Schurrle on Cavani/Falcao/Benzema/, Luke Shaw or Gundogan/Thiago/Moutinho. Wow.

And a manager in his first year broke it last season. Means nothing. His Madrid spell was a failure especially with the amount of money they spent and his individual credentials.

A player that's only scored 40 goals in 250 appearances is not going to play as a striker lol. He's never even scored 10 goals in a season despite playing in a garbage League for 4/5 years.

He failed at Madrid. Every manager has his faults.

Can't wait till the inevitable player revolt. One of Mata, Oscar, KDB will force a transfer in January.

I said a DLP would have been more sensible than signing Willian.

Oscar, KDB, Van Ginkel, Ramires doesn't affect Josh, Chalobah and RLC? You guys are even more naive than I thought. Oscar and KDB would both start for almost any team in the World and would be on their way out if they aren't first choice which means we have to pigeon hole both players there if we want to keep both. So yes Mou would rather play those two deeper rather than the aforementioned players.

No it doesn't make sense. Stop being biased. 6 players for 3 positions is utterly pointless. Victor Moses is more than good enough to be a depth signing and was in sparking form in pre-season. £30m for a player we hardly need is ridiculous. The money would have been better served spent on Luke Shaw, a CB, Striker or a DLP.

Wow, you can't be serious... He's a poor mans Hazard for crying out loud.

This club is an embarassment at times. What an utterly pointless signing. Thought the club was finally beyond insane deals like this. Seems not. Another 4 or 5 careers wasted with this signing it seems. Chalobah, McEachran, Piazon, Loftus Cheek etc arent getting any chances anymore. Pathetic.

Despite his poor game his brilliant delivery still led to the winner. Him and Mata are the only two genuine match winners in the squad. Players that score/assist at crucial times, the likes of Hazard, Oscar etc arent there yet.

I'm done with this club forever if we trade a player well on his way to being a club legend for Wayne f**king Rooney. Probably the most soulless decision a club could ever make. Trading a chap like Mata for the one of the biggest c**ts in football, don't even want to contemplate it. Rooney isn't the only striker in football out there believe it or not.

Jesus Christ. How do our fans keep falling for this s**t? This is the same as the Luiz/Mata to United rumour. Either his agent is trying to fleece more money out of Spurs or Sky are making it up as usual. I mean these are the same idiots that claimed Anelka retired a couple of hours ago.

It's obviously bollocks and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

You guys are beyond pathetic. Never touching this disgraceful thread again. F******g embrassing nut jobs. Yikes.

Another unappreciated performance by Cech. Two world class saves won us 3 points.

Scary hours..... Fixed

Torres can't get into goalscoring positions anymore it seems but at least his general play is miles better. Lukaku seems like the best option at the moment.

He's an excellent footballer and disgustingly underrated. Just needs a capable partner, can't expect Lamps to be as consistent as he once was at his age. Oscar looked good playing alongside him towards the last 20-30 minutes. Van Ginkel is a beast defensively but his passing is still inconsistent.

Torres at fault once again. Wow. Embarassing post.

Mata rusty.

Hazard is the only player in that front 6 that has played well. Maybe Ramires too. I'll give him a pass.
