Madmax 9,219 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 The link mentions Mata, Pereira and Modric or Moutinho. That's 2 additional squad places which would have to be vacated by sales. If true, busy days ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNKS 508 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Mata would be an amazing signing for us. If we happen to get him and Modric then Im very confident in us winning at least one trophy this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest justin_3d Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 So as expected we bid for him and forget about Hazard. It was the more logical choice due to the fact that Valencia wants to sell.And recently Valencia stars have been doing good. Silva, Villa.So buying from Valencia is no problem.

magic weeds 446 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 If this deal goes through, in the next few years, our frontline will be left footed.MATA----------LUKAKU------------STURRIDGE --------------- JOSH------------------ROMEO------------------------RAMIRESRYAN------LUIZ-------IVA----------TBD------------PETE/COURTOIS------------thats 5 left footed players. Awesome huh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Strengths:He possesses excellent pace and movement and will always be in the right place to pick up a pass. He is a good finisher who is composed in front of goal. His reading of the game is also very good, he seems to have the knack of passing or shooting at the right time.Weakness:He lacks a bit of strength and can sometimes be outmuscled by the more burly La Liga defenders, which you might expect to be a problem in the Premier League. He could also benefit from working on receiving high balls, as he is far less able in that department than he is receiving passes along the ground.Food for thought...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 That's got to be the funniest piece of shit I've ever seen! :lol:Liverpool fans have as much brain cells as a dog turd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yeah that lack of strength was a problem for Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta against United last season. I get what the analysts are saying but haven't they been proven "slightly" wrong lately that size isn't everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Silva seems to do alright and I think he's even smaller than Mata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea? 892 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yeah that lack of strength was a problem for Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta against United last season. I get what the analysts are saying but haven't they been proven "slightly" wrong lately that size isn't everything?I think they are just tying to mention he isn't the biggest dude in the world.

magic weeds 446 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 IMO, Adam Johnson is weaker than Mata, and he takes on defenders with no fear. Its not all about muscles in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 LOL at the title of that video!! Arsenal fans obviously thought he was signing for them!(obviously it's up to Chelsea to make me not eat my words) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Arsenal doesn't want him anymore, they probably found out he's not injury-prone enough after some extra scouting... good enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
