    Having someone like Cazorla would be good in the tight games, where chances are limited. I felt we lacked a bit of spark at times last season, especially without Cesc and his ability to pass.

    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    I've been wondering about Mata last year. Could we have missed out on Mata because Cazorla was our first option? We dithered a long time with Mata but maybe we were waiting to get Cazorla so never pushed for Mata. By the time the Cazorla thing fell through Chelsea was all over Mata like stink on shit.

    No idea if that's right but seems like a possibility.

    I don't think it's true, with no offence to Santi Cazorla who i like as a player, Mata is a better player than him, it annoys me every time I see Juan Mata in a chelsea shirt....because he's such a good player and should have come to us!

    It was well documented that Mata was available for around 20m because of the release clause he had, however for one reason or another we never stumped up the cash in time. Then his contract was renewed, the release clause trebled and we were priced out.

    I think we were too wrapped up in the Cesc and Nasri sagas. If we had just told them to fuck off earlier in the window we might have landed Mata.

    Oh well.
