I can imagine an attacking front line consisting of Hazard, Oscar and Mata. Jose on the other hand seems to think this is a stupid idea.
As for Barca, yes they do need defensive cover but have done so for a few years now and it hasn't stopped them from winning trophies (league) or at least seriously competing for them (CL). Iniesta has finally extended his contract, Xavi is 33 and not going to be able to carry on like he is forever. Fabregas is playing more this year but still hasn't fully convinced anyone. Mata would be a very useful addition to their team. They're being linked with a lot of players for the summer transfer window and I wouldn't be surprised if they were in for Mata.
Also, it's Atletico, FFS, we've talked about this before. They're still in the shit and I can't see them getting hold of someone like Mata.
