Yah for Mata, has he re paid that 37.1M yet?

Just like Torres has repaid that 50 mill.......

Did you expect him too?

[Laylabelle 9,534]

He did score against Barcelona..not really repaying the tag at all but did something memorable..ish......

Did you?

[Special Juan 28,108]

Did you?

No, because I never rated him.

[Fernando 6,585]

No, because I never rated him.

Me too.

NEVER? Not even during the Liverpool years?

[Special Juan 28,108]

NEVER? Not even during the Liverpool years?

Nope. Did well at Liverpool but still never got over excited on him and never wanted him here at all.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

He got another

This is probably the Mata we're going to see regularly again next season when they buy better players.

Already one PL goal behind Torres. Embarrassing but shows that when he is played in his preferred position he will come up with the goods. Two games in the no.10 position and three goals.

Meh, I still think it was the right decision to sell him. I don't think Mourinho's system or style of play is one that allows players like Mata to excel. I rather have the 37 million, which can be put towards strengthening weak areas than a talented, unhappy player wasting away on our bench.

Funny thing is that for months many kept on pushing the "Mata only took us to 3rd place" narrative to diminish his performances last season but yet it's entirely possible we might finish 3rd again. Ironic.

Did you see that flick assist for the 4th goal, tht is why Mata was useful in games against small teams parking the bus

[yuvala 2,167]

Still Mou was right IMO,

If Mata doesn't fit the system or the club's\Jose's plans for the future there's no point in keeping him especially when u get offered 40m.
