Both Mata and Blind have one year left on their contracts, I'm surprised there's not much speculation about them.
Mata is the leading scorer for us now that Rooney is gone. 36 goals.Mata or Blind IMO.
Mata hasn't make big step up in his game ever since he joined us. I think he hasn't been fulfill of what we were expecting. But don't mind to have him around as a backup. And also DDG can have more Spanish friends means reduce the chance for homesick.
Blind is just utility player. But don't mind to have him around since he can cover 3 positions.
But Martial will be my last pick. He has more talent and big potential. We can't lose anymore striker option. He's still very young compare to the other two as well.
I don't understand why are you trying to against the fact that Mata hasn't been performing as what people were expecting by using unfair comparison.Mata is the leading scorer for us now that Rooney is gone. 36 goals.
His numbers at United are better than his numbers at Chelsea. Not sure how he's been underwhelming. He's not played consistently at #10. That is a fact. I fancy Lukaku to have a great connection with him.
My thoughts exactly.Why these 3? 3 different positions. Your poll makes no sense to me.
During his time here, we've also more often then not looked at our most fluid/best when he's been on the pitch... and we've looked worse when he doesn't play.Mata should be sold this summer. During his time here, our attack has been at its weakest since the early Ferguson years. I still don't understand why we bought Mata in the first place.
He's now 29. His deal runs until 2018. To give him a new contract would be ridiculous, though a long way from being the most stupid thing we've done in recent years.
Neither would Blind or Martial, so that's not really much of an argument.Blind is useful, Martial is too youn so Mata for me
He wouldnt make it in the first team for Madrid, Barca, Juventus, Bayern, so why is he good enough for us? It kills me when he starts on the right and his lack of pace just exposes him
Agree completely. Started first choice CB due to Smalling injury ofcourse, so was 3th in line for CB to me. Dropped when Smalling returned and passed by Jones and Rojo when Smalling and Bailly got injured. With Lindelof there now, he would basicly be 6th option at best. Would be silly to keep someone of that age and value as 6th option, as Tuanzebe of TFM can easily take that spot.Blind was our first choice CB at the start of the season, then lost his place. He got a run at LB, then lost his place (to a fecking right-back played out of position). The only reason he wasn't frozen out completely is because of our injury crisis at CB. But that's been addressed with Lindelof.
I can't help but feel that Lindelof is the ball-playing CB that's come in to take Blind's place in the squad. As such, Blind's the least necessary option of the 3.
