He wasn't very good. He is talented but lazy. The Europa League final was embarrasing for him, he was subbed on and then subbed off after 20 minutes.

Busquets displaced Yaya Touré as a 20 yo kid coming from youth ranks. Nothing special.

Reject? Barcelona don't want him to go. Cesc and Alexis are Barcelona "rejects".

He's leaving because he can't be a starter for Barcelona anymore. I would say that he has had a chat with Mourinho and he isn't coming to sit on Chelsea's bench.

Rectangle?

Finally!

Valencia.

Priceless. http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/16972-diego-costa/ http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/17011-playing-for-another-country/

Ah, sorry. I though he was speaking about Costa. My fault. I agree about Bony.

Mou has made his decission. Courtous will be numer 1 next season. He has spoken to the player about this.

You haven't watched a lot of him then, have you? He is one of the fastest strikers in Europe.

Why people blame the board?? They are supporting the manager. If Mourinho said "Sell Hazard, buy a toaster and a fridge" then the board would buy a toaster a a fridge to be Hazard's replacement. Blaming the board is easy and unfair.

wrong post

Would have played 4 matches for England, but he is spanish.He was under-21 in 2010. And he got 12 NT appearances in two years for the best national team ever. Furthermore, he was only 21-23 years old. NOT BAD.

Mata had 12 caps before joining Chelsea, he even won a World Cup. The first one in March 2009.

You forgot about Poland and North Korea.

Actions speak louder than words.

I haven't seen him in the Oscar role for more than 1-2 consecutive games.

"He is only our forth choice", the kind of things you said when you try to convince yourself. Ask any neutral fan and they will tell you who is the best. I have no doubts.

Why would he go to PSG or Atletico? He can win trophies and money in other big clubs. You can't force a player to sign for a new club. This isn't the NBA.

Mou doesn't rate him and everybody know it since September when he said "I want to build with Oscar as my number 10". He isn't the type of winger that Mourinho wants and Mou doesn't play him, so I'm not sure what people were expecting to happen but Mata's departure from Chelsea was too obvious for me. Goodbye and Good Luck, Mata!

If he would have born in any other country than he had, he wouldn't be a squad player.

Well, your beloved Oscar was given a special treatment when Mourinho said 5 months ago that he was the choosen one and you didn't say anything about that.

Best message of the entire thread!
