Scolari isn't keen on him, right? So if his own national team doesn't want him, where is he at fault if he wants to play for a side that could actually use his talent? In my opinion, he should stay in Spain. We have Torres, Eto'o, and Ba who are all looking to be somewhat back to form under Mourinho. We also have Lukaku if we decide to recall as well. A DM should be our main and only priority. Then we can worry about offloading.

Why? Mata has made him look like a fool on multiple occasions

Far too many times he has looked good then faded for a handful of games. Torres's work rate vs Eto'o's quick movement and finishing vs Demba Ba's off the ball movement. About time we have variety to choose from.

Bertrand and Ake to name a couple though not Chelsea products. McEachran, Blackman, Kane, Chalobah, and Loftus Cheek are Chelsea products that have the potential to be special and serve well for our club. It is so unbelievably frustrating to see the English league losing its tradition by constantly buying foreign players from other countries rather than giving the time and patience on our own. We have a talented group of youngsters, HOMEGROWN Chelsea products that can bring back some identity to our club, league, and national side. I would be absolutely gutted to see us lose our players just have United with Morrison and Pogba, both who have been praised of having the potential of being as special as Paul Scholes

And what of Chalobah? We just going to toss a homegrown Chelsea through and through product on loan once more or sell to another club only for him to establish himself leaving us to spend 20+mill on him just to get him back? Fuck me, I'm not pointing at you, but patience seems to be diminishing for some

Bollocks. Labeling him 'world class' and stating that anyone who thinks Mata ( who just came off from a season with 20 goals and 36 assists) is better than Oscar are laughable, because of a deflected goal is rubbish

You're And I'm calm. I've already stated my fond of Oscar this season and his contributions but if you can't identify some of the over reactions on here for a deflected goal against Zimbabwe than there really is no need to go any furthur

The reactions on here for a deflected goal imo are hilarious.

Mata has performed well against Barca at Valencia. When playing under a system that is attacking and possession based. People fault his errors against Bayern, Juventus, etc. But one must remember we were playing in a system that contradicted his strengths, not because he is a supposed big game bottler. Just ask United about that

Needs to find a way to get out of that little rut he is in

Messi vs Arsenal 2010

According to the commentators he declined to play for the Belgium youth team?

Belgium should have a quality side in the next few years

As if we need another reason to absolutely get the three points tomorrow. Anything less than a win tomorrow is unacceptable at this rate.

Again, stop by the other forum to see the difference of contributions I make. Your argument fails on so many levels when you base on assumptions.

Stop by totalfootballforums and see how I actively participate. Im one of the few Chelsea fans there. I rarely post here because i prefer hearing neutral opinions and debates to expand my knowledge on football

Pedro has been scoring for fun for Spain recently. Mata is too direct for the Spain team IMO which is why Silva always gets the nod. Mata already won everything with the international team so I pray he just focuses on club level

Can't see him starting over Iniesta, Busquets, and Cesc atm

What the fuck does Lampard actually provide? Has been nothing but a liability in so many games now

Cardiff City goal

Pep is absolutely one dimensional though. No plan B and Piqué even revealed that. Us, Inter, and now recently Madrid and Bayern exposed them. If it wasn't for the fact Barca contain 3 once in a generation players, they would get no where near the success they have now.

I still wouldnt want Torres anywhere near the pitch

Oscars best performances came from 'the pivot'

Xabi Alonso or De Rossi sounds like a great idea right about now

Anyone have any good streams?
