Monk should get it.

He was right.

Mourinho's decision has been vindicated so far on KDB/Mata. Matic is playing well and Mata isn't doing great. However, you're kidding yourself if you think Mata said that he wants to leave and go Man Utd. I think Mata said he wanted to play regularly, Mourinho said if he isn't a regular starter by January he could go, Mata didn't want to play bench for 10 minutes a game and than Man Utd came in with a bid. Mata wanted to play for a (he thought) top club and get good minutes so he accepted. Mourinho wanted Mata to be a squad player at best, and I think Mourinho would've wanted to get rid of him in summer window either way, and Mata wanted to play minutes. The fact that Moyes is clearly totally incapable of putting together a team, getting the team to actually perform is a damn shame for Mata who is no doubt going to be stuck there for a few seasons of total mediocrity until the Man Utd board fire Moyes. Shame for Mata, was a great servant too us and great guy it seemed. P.S you're kidding yourself if you think Mata was going to say in his Goodbye letter that he didn't want to leave, he didn't want to go Man United and you're a fool if you think he was going to come out and say he felt like he was forced out of Chelsea etc. He has too much class and not the things you say when you're joining another team.

I don't believe this will go through, Mourinho has been more adamant about Mata staying than KDB. He said that if Mata asked for a transfer he'd tell the board to say no, if he was to do a 180 on this it'd look awful. Mata I still feel is the better number 10, carried us for two seasons and Oscar hasn't exactly lit the world on fire of late. No way we sell him to Manchester United, even if it involves getting Rooney. I don't want Mata sold at all, it's not Mata FC it's Chelsea FC. However we shouldn't be looking to sell top players, arguably a top five Number ten of the past few years to a direct rival.

Is there a stream?

Decent half.

Torres is actually showing a bit... (not a fangirl)
