I'm so sick of the media branding the whole "Mata being dropped" as exit speculation. FFS he's not 100% fit and that's why he hasn't been playing! (And Luiz) Anyone who says that the transfer market should be shut before the opening game of the season is absolutely right. All the media do is write a lot of nonsense to unsettle the players in question, and it's annoying! Soon as one player misses three games, suddenly there's speculation on whether he will leave! ... and the Willian transfer news certainly doesn't help matters, (pardon the pun). After all of this, I hope Mata stays and announces his long term commitment, saying that he is willing to fight for a place in the side. Seriously, if I were Mata, I would stay and work insanely hard among a group of players all trying to get into Jose's team. It will make him even more of a better player, and he'll be guaranteed to win more things under Mourinho. If he goes to Arse or Sp*rs, then I will lose all my respect for him! Good luck trying to win things with a team who's never won a trophy in 8 years!
