Juan Mata

[Term-X 7,891]

We won the champ league without him

Munich was a once in a lifetime underdog story. You can't plan for that as a club, it's not something that was down to the genius managerial spark of RDM either.

also last season when Robbie was sacked we where in the title race and the team was still gettin used to playin together

Lmao.

[Term-X 7,891]

Yeah right you guys loved rafa and supported him for the club! Get real

He was signed by the club as a stopgap, the two situations are not even comparable!, we knew he was merely coming in to steady the ship.

[King11Didier 916]

That's because the way in which we play was changed by one of the greatest managers in football sport history, and now we're title contenders because of it.

The system >>>>>>> Juan Mata

The collective >>>>>> Juan Mata

Who said it's the other way around? Of course the TEAM is bigger than the player.There are a few who are fans just for their favourite player like some Torres fans.The problem is that-We tried to buy Rooney,but manure refused as they don't want to sell their player to their rival in BPL.OK it's logical and their do what I think is correct.Then why we should sell them our best player in the last 2 seasons,who is one of the best midfields in football too?It doesn't make any f*cking sense.Mata is a player who can help any team and will always give his best on the pitch.And with rooney and rvp up in front and Mata behind them united can go in top 4 despite manure's weak defence.

He was officially the Caretaker Manager.

That does not matter, you are using this club thing because you love jose too much and its the only thing you can say if the board is dumb enough to sell a player to utd.

Utd never sells to rivals not matter what the reasons are and the money! Just remeber the heinze deal a top club does not sell to rivals no matter what! Thats football and not what chelsea is doing!

It is funny how nobody was highlighting these flaws until Mourinho arrived. Now everyone is on the lazy, useless Mata bandwagon. Just because Mourinho doesn’t fancy him, it does not automatically follow that he is a dud. Even the best managers get it wrong sometimes. Mourinho also ditched Arjen Robben

Mourinho signed 2 players that fit his system better than Mata.

When Mata was the best player...we had average players like Moses, Benayoun and Marin in the squad

[Pizy 17,860]

Hazard to get the 10 shirt, since he initially requested it upon signing.

It's being saved for Messi. We'll use the Mata money as well as the money from the Torres, Ba, and whoever else is sold in the summer to raise the funds.

That should cover about 1/3 of his release clause.

We also had Hazard, lampard, Oscar, Luiz

[Term-X 7,891]

Rafael Benitez was an interim manager

That was his actual title, he was never in charge, Mourinho is. Hence the 'club over player' argument, Mourinho is now enjoying the same power Ferguson had at United.

The future is why this transfer is happening in the first place, nothing short term about it.

[bushman 2,043]

Whether it is a mistake to sell Mata, nobody knows now.

It´s still the same as yesterday´s postings. it´s better to have 37m in the bank to be used later, than seeing Mata sitting on the bench.

[calculatingInfinity 1,443]

Don't think that was the general consensus of the views from the other side.

He never actually did this.

The whole Hazard transfer was a saga in bad translations or rather the English media's translating they pleased. What he said was he preferred the number 10 position, not number... He even confirmed later he didn't talk about that later on.

[Parky 739]

Goodbye and thank you Mata!!!

Chelsea Player of the Year 2011-2012 and 2012-2013

135 Apps, 33 Goals, and 58 Assists

Shame we had to sell you to Manu Scum. You are too classy for them and I can't bear see you in that dirty scum red shirt..

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Im hearin Bayern want him sell him even for 10 million less

Err, what?

When was I talking anything about that??

[sdrcfc 461]

15m + Javi Martínez.

20m + Alaba.

[Neira 19]

Help! Only 4 AM's left!!! Omg!!!

[Jase 43,479]

(apparently) According to Bild, Bayern plans to hijack the Mata move with a €48M bid.
