For mata to choose us over Chelsea and City, for example, he really must believe we're going places in the immediate future

Not necessarily - it just may mean that Mata
a) wants to be guaranteed a spot in the 1st 11 - something not guaranteed at either Shitty or the Chavs
b) isn't a cunt
c) actually believes DA's that we will win the league this year.

I don't think he believes that, but I think he views us as potential CL contenders very very soon, and a definite upgrade from Valencia.
