So according to most reports this guy is our number one target and we are about to put in an offer. Also Valencia has just agreed a deal with Madrid for Sergio Canales who is a very similar player to Mata. Everything is pointing to a possible move for Mata. But if he does come where does he fit in?
Some people are saying he goes on the left wing but i am not sure that is where we want him. He is a much better passer then Nasri so its wierd that Nasri might take the Cesc role and not Mata if he comes. Nasri as much as like him does not see a pass quick enough. He slows the play down too much and unlike Cesc can't find a killer pass in an instant. Even Ramsey is better in the Cesc role then Nasri is. But Nasri wants to play in midfield and Wenger might grant him his wish in the hope that he does well and signs a new contract. But that is not right and Nasri has not earned it.
So we have a possible problem here and also with Gervinho looking decent and showing good pace and his ability to make runs from out to in and getting goals its strange that Mata should play there ahead of him he did indeed move to Arsenal. Nasri is a problem because he has a lot of power at the moment and Wenger might not make correct calls on where players should play without Nasri's contract situation in mind.
For me Mata should be a direct replacement for Fabregas. In the under 21's and for Valancia he was perfect off the front man. He has the passing and pace to play there. The pace which even Cesc did not have. He would be perfect playing behind Van Persie. Also Mata and Wilshere could be genius in midfield with their passing and the speed in which they pass at will be better then Nasri and Wilshere.
If Mata does come where would you guys play him?
