All is not lost on Juan Mata
There is been universal confusion as to whether Arsenal ever bid for Juan Mata because it appears a deadline which would activate his £22m buyout clause has come and gone. Spurs seem to have gotten in first but their offer was rejected by the player who wants to play Champions League football.
What Spurs did was to poison the well with Valencia now demanding a sky high price for Mata prompting lots of chest beating by Gunner fans already angst ridden by the slow pace of transfers and the underwhelming pre-season performances.
