Which fans? Mata is the type of player Spurs could really do with but attracting that calibre of player is another matter. I still think Lennon is the key to unlocking Soldado personally.
You cheeky bastard! We have about 6 of that "calibre" of player in the squad, already. Mata would be simply another one of those.
I'm not sure yet HIAG! In hoping Lamela or Eriksen will be as good but right now Mata is a class above anything we have. He would walk into our first 11 and any other in the league.
Mata would be crazy to lose his oil money pay.I wonder how much he is earning in comparison to Spurs players? Have they found any oil around White Hart Lane?I know there's plenty of beer!!!!!!!
With Bale gone Mata is head and shoulders above any player you have. It's not a move he'd make or one Chelsea would entertain IMO.
Erikson, Lamela, Soldado, Townsend, Lennon, Lloris, Paulinho, Vertonghen, and Sandro are all at the same level as Mata. He'd fit in like a charm.
Cristiano Ronaldo played at WHL a few times, so there's a certain amount of oil around the stadium...
What do you mean? Mata's 5'8", so our entire squad with the exception of Rose, Lennon, Defoe tower over him.
Back when Jol was in charge the Grauniad would always make jibes about the average height of our squad. We should probably send Chadli around to have a word - he's built like a Siberian brick ****house!
Luiz and Mata start which is bad news for the Newcastle defence but good news for the Newcastle attack.
I see that after 60 minutes Chelski are level with Newcastle. I guess the ref mistake in Chelsea's favour, or the mistake by the Newcastle defence will come a bit later. When it does you can be sure that plaudits about how clever Mourinho is will follow from the fawning media.
Geordies are 1 up. Gouffran faded very quickly after a good start in January but he's back with that one.
