possible i suppose,

who out the English clubs who would be capable of getting him actually need him, or are we the only ones?

cant see Spurs forking out more money when the players they do have haven't gelled yet, Levy i reckon will be a bit nervous about spending, esp as he wont be cheap,City is it Navas or Silva he would be competing with? Arsenal Walcott? etc.

see him going abroad, but just curious who the contenders for his signature would be.

United. In need? Yes. Want? Hope so. attractive proposition? With his fondness for Moyes its inevitable.

Why wouldn't they? We've signed Joe Cole, Victor Moses and Daniel Sturridge from them, Raul Meireles, Fernando Torres and Yossi Benatoun have gone the other way too so deals between us are not unknown.

I think the stumbling block would be convincing Mata to join.

Chelsea have really messed up with letting some players go. Sturridge and Lukaku. Moses has done pretty well for us to.
Torres, Meireles and Benayoun didnt really improve Chelsea.

They must be put of doing deals with Mersey side clubs by now.
 
Mata is several levels above every play mentioned.

You basically trade each others deadwood ( in the eyes of the selling club ).

Saying that......Mata is deadwood in Jose's mind.

anyway hands off, Mata's a big Moyes fan, had a poster of him and everything in his younger days. he models his life on Moyes.

I never said he wasn't. RHC said Chelsea wouldn't sell to us but evidence suggests they would.

Plus, as I said, Chelsea don't exactly give a **** when it comes to selling players do they?

Man Utd would. IMO, Tottenham too but they won't buy big after their outlay in the summer.

True and with Mata's love for Moyes we've got a good chance.
 
Hows Arbeloa these days?

We could use a full back like him. Great on both sides and always reliable.

Regular for Real Madrid (although not sure about this season).

Probably looks like a weak link in that Real Madrid side given the amount of talent in that squad, but he was brilliant for us - nothing flashy, just consistent.
 
So basically it looks like PSG are going for Mata in January but that means some players will leave. Pastore looks for sure to be one and on his day can be really good but is very hot and cold. They link us with Menez who is another winger that could be useful for us but one that is picking up pace is that Lavezzi is starting to find himself getting less and less playing time with the likes of Lucas Moura, Cavani, Ibra, Rabiot, Veratti, and Motta all getting the nod before him.

Think Lavezzi would be awesome if that could somehow be done!

Lavezzi is an immense player! Similar to Suarez in style and attitude. Would be great if we got him. Not heard of our interest in him though.

We have been in contact with PSG over Pastore though however price appears to be too high.

We shall see, I don't think we will really know who we are after until right about January. Hopefully it is similar to Sturridge in that it is done and dusted quick.
 
say we were 2nd on jan 1.... just for pig iron... do you think

a) mata might jump at it

b) where the f would he fit into a 4-3-3 for us?
 
"We have been in contact with PSG over Pastore though however price appears to be too high."

have a feeling we will be hearing that a lot.

although not a bad thing as there will be players out there that are quality like Sturridge and Coutinho and not silly money, we will miss out on some serious talent, as i think we will be looking for similar type of deals to those two, which is silly as they was undervalued and we got lucky.
