Forget about Mata...

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

He's said he wants to come here, the President of Lile pretty much confirmed that would probably happen. I'ld expect him next summer.
Until he has another breakout year and Madrid comes knocking with a big-boy money offer, while Arsenal haggles over a few hundred thousand difference in a deal worth far less.

If Arsenal are serious about capturing Hazard, they should have got him last year or this year. His value is rising exponentially, and Lille's top asset isn't going to be sold at a bargain price considering it's those transfer funds that will be funding another 5 years of the team.
