Cool yacht.

Is it uncle Roman?

Probably not, cause just noticed it got Spain flag....but I wonder, do Chelsea players borrow Romans toy?

Like someone might say, hey can I borrow your yacht, or jet for the weekend?

Haha, he has packed on a few kilos over the holidays. Too many sangrias and fajitas for Juan.

Think I'll give him a miss in my starting fantasy team this year ;p

But wait. Here's the best part.

...and will have three points put on his driving licence.

That's right. Even when breaking the law, Mata wins three points.

Lol.

At first glance, Mata would already boast that weight of statistics. The Spaniard has totalled 18 goals and 33 assists in his two Premier League seasons, his efforts earning him the supporters' player of the year award for each of his two seasons at Stamford Bridge, with his team-mates nominating him the players' player of the year, too, last term. That was an award conceived by Mourinho during his first spell at the club, an unapologetically blatant attempt to ensure Claude Makelele was recognised while others hogged the limelight.

"It was my invention," said the manager. "The fans have one perspective, the players another, so for Mata to have won both means a lot. People love him, but his fellow players love the work he puts in for the team. Of course he fits into my plans. I have my idea about him, about where he produces better and where he has more difficulty. We will try to help him perform better in those situations. I've always liked a right-sided player to be left-footed. I started with Robben and Duff, then [Goran] Pandev at Inter, and Di María and Ozil. Many clubs do it. It's more than a tendency.

"I like wingers coming in on the inside for the penetrative movement, for the pass, for the shot. And Juan is the only player we have to do that on the right. On the left we have Hazard, Victor Moses, Kevin De Bruyne, André Schürrle … Juan is also very comfortable playing as a No10. In between these two positions, he has a lot to give to the team."

I hope Mata is ok playing RW for us. Several times he's mentioned how much he loves playing in that #10 role, especially after Rafa pushed him even higher up as a second striker almost. Now that Mou sounds like he will make him the first choice RW, it's def going to be a much more demanding position for him. He's not the sort to complain but you can also understand if he'll be grieved considering the monster of a season he had as the #10.

This article states that "Magistrates gave him 3 points on his license." Anyone care to explain that??

Magistrate was a Spurs fan, so he had to give him 3 points.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has reiterated that Juan Mata is in his plans and hinted at a new role for him this season.

Speculation has linked Mata with a summer exit from Stamford Bridge but Mourinho has stressed that the Spaniard has a key role as the only left-footed player he feels is comfortable on the right.

"Of course he fits into my plans," Mourinho said. "I have my idea about him, about where he produces better and where he has more difficulty.

"We will try to help him perform better in those situations. I've always liked a right-sided player to be left-footed.

"I started with (Arjen) Robben and (Damien) Duff, then (Goran) Pandev at Inter, and (Angel) Di Maria and (Mesut) Ozil. Many clubs do it. It's more than a tendency.

"I like wingers coming in on the inside for the penetrative movement, for the pass, for the shot. And Juan is the only player we have to do that on the right."

"I like wingers coming in on the inside for the penetrative movement, for the pass, for the shot. And Juan is the only player we have to do that on the right.

"On the left we have (Eden) Hazard, Victor Moses, Kevin De Bruyne, Andre Schurrle. Juan is also very comfortable playing as a No10. In between these two positions, he has a lot to give to the team."

Mourinho has often appeared more comfortable praising workmanlike players rather than star named such as Chelsea's player of the year and the Portuguese boss believes there is logic to this.

"I am not the kind of guy who makes life easy for the great players," he added. "This kind of player is the last I praise.

"You have to praise the guys who play to their limits, who give everything. They are not superstars. They are just good players trying to support their teams.

"Don't get me wrong, I still prefer the top players, the guys who win you matches and make the difference. But if they are great, they have to give more than the others.

"For me, to praise an ordinary player is easy. For me to praise a top player is not. When a player is different and has more potential than others, he has to use his talent in a good way."

This has already been posted and is being discussed in the Mata thread.

[Badboy 1,526]

It isn't being discussed in the Mata thread I've just checked it !

[Fernando 6,376]

So what are you trying to say?

That Mourinho will destroy Mata?

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

The article is posted in the Mata thread, and I replied to it as well:

Regardless, this should be in the Mata thread.

If Juan is intelligent, he'll do what the coach will say at 100 %.José's main mission is to have a team, not individuals like the past season.I prefer 10 goals from Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Schurrle and De Bruyne, in the 2004 season every player had his moments, I hope we'll have the same experience, maybe at times he'll struggle but it would open the door for Schurrle or KDB to shine, less predictable our game will be !

What is the fuc%&%/& problem if Mata plays for the right, is a sin? .. Mou is a bad man ... come on . Mata can play in that position but Mata has to understand and help team about defense , I think this is his problem ..
