Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 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. pHaRaOn and Azpinator 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Here's a question we did not ask ourselves: Would united even want Mata?They play with traditional wingers; they always have. Their system doesn't include 'modern' attacking midfielders. Just look at how Kagawa has struggled there because the system is not built to suite a player like him. The only reason I can see them interested in Mata is to play that second striker role, but even there they usually have a bit more 'physical' players. pHaRaOn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Would Messi get half the goals he usually does at Stoke? didierforever, Mouri_Matic and Stingray 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 mata CAN play on the wing but i think so can ramires, infact rambo's best moment of his career probably came as a right-back, but it does not mean we should play him there. mata is a CAM and MOST efficient in the center of the pitch. when we play him on the wings, we have absolutely no true width in our play. we simply cant stretch teams and everything is just too narrow and most of the time easy to defend. yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm all for Mourinho but if he lets Mata go it would be really disrespectful to our best player for the last 2 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irakozium257 350 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Jose better make this 'Oscar in the pivot' thing work, cause i can't even contemplate the idea of mata leaving us for united or arse Trust me, it will if Oscar is motivated and willing. I remember how he bossed the DM position, along with Mikel I think, in the COC game against Leeds. It's also pleasurable because he likes to challenge anyone defensively no matter how big they are compared to him, and still helps out in attack when he gets the ball.
