It only mentions us being interested in the headline, strange. But what a signing he would be if it happened. The way he left us was shocking, going on strike just before we played City away. But he is exactly the sort of player we need.

Hes don. Need a dm like him

Please no.....another fkn mercenary

Fluck what happened before he's a monster of a player

I was gutted when he went. Obviously the way he went was uncalled for but he could redeem himself by coming back

Plus if he came back, he's now approaching 30, it's now less likely that a club of the magnitude of Barcelona would come back in for him again in the future so there would be less chance of any more trouble like that happening.

I think Rafa will be first in line to sign him

I can only shudder at the thought of Masch, Suarez, Pap & Costa in the same team

Coutinho feels left out

we've missed him as much as alonso. we still need that bite in midfield

I'd have him back in an instant. His leaving was more for the way Rafa was sacked and also Hodgson brought in who didnt have a tactical clue, plus Barca coming in for him is not exactly unwelcome.

He is also a very good centre back as well.

I would love it if Masch came back, love it.

Would love a bit of monster Masch back in the team.

The guy is quality, and would add experience and nastiness to a young team.

Who knows it might be possible?

Would I like Masch back with us...any day, absolutely!!!

look, he's been a reserve CB... that shows his little grass was greener stuf was proved wrong.

however, guys he told rafa he wanted to go to barca... rafa persuaded him to stay and give him a year.. this he did without much grumble.

then he left..

fair enough.

reina did the same and got stabbed the back.

suarez is trying it on and having to be put in his place.

in short... mascherano.... saved his career, then the same sense of entitlement crops up. thinks he's worth a barca slot when patently he was not.

have him back? for what 5mil? i'd buy him on the cheap but not for a lot of money cos he's had a worse stage of career than tevez and look how cheap he went for.

Never going to happen.
