Juan Mata

[Hostedenis 556]

Juan Mata himself should ask to leave if De Bruyne keeps getting more games than him because Mourinho wants to keep the opponents full backs busy...

What is this? I can come to the Mata thread and read the weirdest things!

People on here say Mata is leaving because he and Jose don't get along, because Mata doesn't counter well/fast enough, because he's involved in a Rooney swap, ... And now because he cuts inside too much! Mourinho did indeed say that in this particular game he preferred KDB because he kept Evra busy, like you mentioned. But that in no way on earth means KDB will always get preferred. Mata simply is a better player than KDB, and Jose knows it.

People, stop looking for reasons why the club would want to get rid of Mata! We aren't. I know not everyone here will believe me (after all, who am I, right?) but that's why I posted Mourinho's quotes, from the official Chelsea website, in this thread. You do believe Mourinho and our board, right? And they're saying there's NO WAY Mata is leaving. (You will have to go to the previous page though, for the quotes and the article, hope it's not too much work)

So I don't really get what all the fuzz is about, really...

He's staying, and you should all be glad he is. We would be daft to sell/loan our two years in a row best player.

And why doesn't he play then, you ask? Easy: he was injured, and is lacking fitness for the moment. Mourinho said he has only been training again since last week and was allowed to play a half in the Hull game, but he still lacks too much match fitness (as was visible) to play in a big game but I guess (this is personal belief though) he'll be a starter again in one or two weeks.

Hazard needs this guy next to him

If he stays this is probably his last season for Chelsea.

Really can't wait for him to be in the team regularly again. At no. 10. Missing his creative genius.

Just a stat to throw in here:

"Most goals + assists in the PL since August 2011: van Persie 75, Rooney 55, Agüero 47, Bale 44, Mata 43, Suárez 42, Walcott 40, Dzeko 36" @WhoScored

Have read these reasons from different places of why Mourinho supposedly have doubts over Mata which led to all these rumours..

One of Mourinho's doubts in the man (Mata) who has been the Blue of the year in both his seasons at the club is known to be a supposed propensity to slow down play when counter-attacks are on.

There are suggestions that Mourinho thinks Mata slows down the tempo and is not direct enough for his liking, especially on the counter-attack.

Also, Swapping Mata for Rooney would be the best deal for Chelsea AND United

What we missed in our recent matches is this guy.

Miss you, Don Juan.

Last season Mata didn't play at the beginning of the season, and then he wasn't even injured like he was this preseason.
