Mourinho knows how to navigate a PL season, I assume the games your referring to are Arsenal and United away, Dont think we didn't try to win those games, and that those games ended 0-0 all because of Jose's tactics, Arsenal and United were both scared of committing men forward and going for the win as they were both scared of getting exposed on the counter attack.

are you telling me you cant see how the squad has improved? Lets start off by getting Essien out the way, we don't need him and him staying or going really doesn't change anything. Kdb and Mata made no impact this season, and are not players who fit into Mourinho's system. Whereas Matic who is one of the best Pivot players on the planet! and is perfect for us! he will finally give us a world class pivot alongside Ramires, that signing alone could be a big reason why we can go on and win the title now! and i don't know how you can say Mata is better then Matic when they are completely different players! and yes Mata is a better number 10 then Salah, but in Jose's system of counter attacking football, with our wide men asked to cover a lot of ground both offensively and defensively and asked to break on the counter with pace, Salah is miles better option then Mata I'm afraid.

yes he is a classy guy and was a great player for us before Jose returned. but as i said its been so obvious for as long time that he was going to leave, and the fact that he wanted to go and wanted to go to United of all teams makes it way more easier for me to move on, obviously it may take other people more time to get over Mata leaving, that's fair enough, but for me i see an excellent squad with the best manager in the world, and much more success and exciting times ahead for us, and that is more then enough reason for me not to be getting down over Mata leaving.

Jose clearly is not wrong about Mata! He just cant adapt and never would be able to adapt to Mourinho's system! Mata had to go, of course i would have preferred him not going to another PL team, but he wanted to leave in this window and he wanted to go to United, so the club respected his wishes, we dont need him under Jose and we got a good deal out of it, and bringing in Salah and Matic and letting Kdb and Mata go really improves our team.

I don't understand how you can still be emotional! i think its been very clear for a long time now that Mata had no future here! i was one of the people in the summer who said Mourinho would favour Oscar over Mata and that Mata would struggle to get into the team! People have had plenty of time to accept Mata's situation and should have been able to see it was only a matter of when not if he would leave. He has had no impact all season and people are still sad to see him go! we have a match today and all most people can think about is poor old Mata. Yes he was great for us under RDM and Rafa but under Jose he couldn't adapt and had to go, It has felt like months since Chelsea last played so i dont care about Mata any more i am just excited about the game today!

Damn people need to get over it already! he is gone! we didn't need him, people need to move on and should be excited about the team that Jose is building us!

I cant wait to see the Matic - Ramires pivot!

another thing about Matic is he works so hard and covers alot of ground! In fact Matic has covered more ground then any other player in the CL this season! 78926 m

Really! United have a huge CB problem! Ferdinand and Vidic are past it and wont be at united much longer. Smalling is very average, Evans is decent but no where near a top class Cb and Jones is not realy seen as a CB because of his versatility!

imo that is the best midfield 5 in the PL.

I agree, If he signs in time there is no reason why he shouldn't start against United! he just played a good game against Porto who are a similar level to United, He is a class player and United are just a big name right now and not a great team, its not really that difficult a game to be putting him in! imo its a perfect game to put him in.

look at the size of him, i think he will be in the box for set-pieces not taking them.

I agree i see him as quite similar to Javi Martinez! I am so excited about this re-signing!

Make that 4!!! Incredible!!!

Yeah i am watching that game also! that is his 2nd Hattrick this season, the kid looks like some prospect! I hope our scouts are watching!

and yet you dont want Ivanovic to start???

Cech Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - A.Cole Mikel - Ramires Willian - Mata - Hazard Ba

If we make one signing today, I hope we sign Adam Maher! along with Van Ginkel he will be one of the best CM's in Europe in a few years!

I don't think people are scared that they will be challenging for the title if they sign Ozil, because they wont! i think people are just upset to see a genuine world class player go to Arsenal!

I remember watching that game! He was outstanding! It's bizzare to see how his career has gone at United and how they are treating him right now!

So many assumptions!!! Who says Jese and Morata won't get games? I dont see Carlo having any problems playing any of them in place of Benzema! You are forgetting how easy the majority of games in La Liga are for Madrid! Do you really think Carlo would be reluctant to start Morata or Jese against the majority of La liga teams? I don't think so! Madrid can easily cope without Ozil! It's clear for everyone to see!

Again it doesn't really matter if they can't get Suarez as they have Ronaldo! Point is that would be the only position they could do with strengthening but it's not vital! They can clearly afford to sell Ozil and have no problems at all coping without him!

i dont see what your seeing! they are not exposed at all! so lets say for example Bale and Isco get injured and are both out, what do they do, well they can play Illarramendi - Alonso/Khedira Di Maria - Modric - Ronaldo Benzema they would have Morata and Jese on the bench, both are talented youngsters, plus if they sign Suarez they could always play him behind Benzema as well! Their squad is more than able to compete without Ozil! they can easily last until January where they can make signings if they really need to! all they need is another ST by tomorrow!

Basically Eto's always does the League and CL double in a WC year!

what your forgetting is barring injury Bale and Ronaldo will play every single game this season! which only leaves 1 position open, if Ozil stays then they will have Isco and Ozil fighting for the number 10 spot! a fight that Isco will win as he is the new boy who they paid big money for! so it makes sense to sell Ozil especially that they have to sign a striker tomorrow and have to balance the books!
