In the long term, maybe, right now, Mata is quality, just behind Ozil as the best #10 in the league IMHO Of course, they'll all be in Ford's shadow come next season
Since you and Enricky seem to have taken me seriously, I'm going to point out that I wasn't being serious
I knew you weren't serious but my posts today have been too humorous (well **** you lot, I found them funny!) to restore my inner balance I felt it neceesary to stay on topic and avoid further amusement!
Surely that's Tobes.. but he loves that sort of ****e! He's the Michael Knight of the Everton board, on a one man crusade to find fault in everything posted on the Liverpool board
I reckon Aspas & Assaidi are the same fella, you've been fleeced by some canny agent, they whisked one out the back door, changed his shirt & wheeled him back in the front...
Mata out of the Chelsea squad again today and following Jose's comments about him wanting Oscar to be the number 10 at Chelsea and Mata would have to play on the right but do some defending if he wants to play for Chelsea it sounds like he really isn't fancies and could be gone in Jan or the Summer. Would love him to come, can't see it happening but with him being cup tied in the CL, it might mean a few of the bigger clubs won't want to pay top money for him in Jan which could give us an advantage. Let's hope BR can chat up his buddy Jose and try strike up a deal!
How the hell can you say Ozil is the best #10 in the league? He's only played 1 game in which his opponents let him walk into the hole, stay there and select the balls he wanted to play without any pressure! Let's see how he fares against a properly constructed defence.
Rafa would have got slaughtered had he made the selection decisions that Jose and Brendan have made today
If Rafa had dropped Mata and said he was building the team around someone else, he'd have been shot. But Saint Jose can do whatever he wants, screw up and still be idolised at a club he only achieved something with because he had the backing of a crazy billionaire. Wonder who the next manager will be
Depends on the money, he seems to blow so hot and cold. ONe day magnificent, one day totally ****ing useless.
These are the sort of players we have to take a gamble on; have the talent but lack consistency. It would then be up to BR and his staff to get the best out of him.
