Mata

[Skrtelmania]

Surely we've got to make some kind of move.

He's young and quality, we must be interested.

[kris90210]

Yes, but according to Zapater - who has watched him a lot - while he plays on the left, he doesn't really offer much width. So perhaps Kenny has come to the same conclusion.

We need a winger to deliver quality service into the box. Is Mata that man?

He's an absolutely fantastic player, and I'd be over the moon if we signed him. But I really get the feeling that we're not interested. It's an open secret that we want Downing. Just can't see us buying both

[Skrtelmania]

Fair enough, just seen discussion in the Downing thread.

Crisps well and truly pissed on

Depends what you mean with service into the box. Crosses for Carroll or stick ins for Suarez?

If you mean an excellent passer that offers a lot of creativity then Mata is the right player. If you want a quality crosser then Downing is the right player.

Being an optimist I agree with this.

If we can convince Suarez to join us then we can get almost anybody - we're Liverpool FC!

Excellent point bud It basically boils down to the players attitude, ambition etc, wether he decides on either more money or being a part in a famous Club such as ours that is in transision of taking us where we belong which is, The Top of European and Premirship football

There's room in our side / squad for both types of players but I'm not sure if the funds are there for both. I'd like to think so but I'm not sure

Please God, if we are gonna spend 15 million or more on Downing, we might as well spend 23 million & get Mata who is light years better than Downing & younger!

It's more than conceivable that he doesn't want to come and/or would get a better offer.

Dont be stupid transfers are just like walking into a supermarket and picking a box of cereal off the shelf

The players (cereal) have no say in the matter and you dont have fellow customers (other clubs) fighting for you over those boxes of cereal

[Redspin]

I think Downing is a higher priority but I am sure we are in for Mata.

The first seven words of your post are utterly depressing

15 pages on a transfer that is evidently never going to happen.
