The thing with the Mata situation is you can only bring 18 players to the game on game day. Starting 11 + 7 on the bench. Granted, 1 GK 2 Defenders 1/2 CM 1/2 AM 1/2 CF Out of the cm, am, and CF only one of them will have 2 spots on the bench... Logically, if we were winning, Mourinho wouldnt bring on an attacking player, moreso a CM or a Defender and if we were losing, he would probably bring on a CF.. So, at the end of the day, its going to be between Schurrle or Mata for the bench spot. Also, when people keep talking about what if Oscar gets injured, Hazard, etc. Too be honest, you can say the same thing about CM and our defenders and Cech. An injury to cech is a lot more severe for the gks, an injury to Rambo is a lot more severe for the cms, and if Jt gets injured, who knows whats going to happen. Am is the least of our worries for a defensive minded team. Mata with Mourinho will continue playing on the right side and continue being gassed out trying to play Jose game. Its one thing if we were selling our starting cam to Manchester United, but its another thing when your selling the last choice cam for Chelsea... Lastly, people act like Roman enjoys spending money on transfer fees. Act as if the potential funds raised from a sale wouldnt help Chelsea out this season and in the future. You cant keep expecting Roman to pay high fees to get high ranked players all the time.
