"Juan Mata promised no. 10 jersey." - Marca

According to twitter, Marca have confirmed Juan Mata will wear the number 10 shirt at Chelsea.

Looking forward to seeing our new number 10 at least getting a cameo appearance against Norwich.

Were you in the dressing room? ...... thought not. He waltzed into this club, took a first team number and sang that song. Particular Chelsea fans just have to flip everything as a positive. Kalou is a diabolical footballer, zero development in 5 years / Kalou has a great attitude, trying his best for 5 years.

How is that a bad thing? It makes perfect sense on a traditional & commercial level to wait. Especially if the club are going to sell Benayoun regardless.

Gourlay & the marketing department have an eye on that number 10..

As long as he doesn't sing 'you'll never walk alone' he'll be fine.

Ferguson is an anomaly in the game, why even make such a comparison.. Malouda's position in team is now in threat, so it's no wonder he's rambling to the media. He lost all credibility when he said he wanted to be the 'Ryan Giggs' of Chelsea.

It's a shame he had to experience 'booing' for his first game at the bridge..

Lukaku needs to 'do a Torres' and start texting Hazard..

Smh, so much for financial fair play.

FFS... what an uninspired & deflating signing this would be, considering the superior alternatives available. Smh.

Yea, should be interesting to see how this plays out. My team was held to a draw against The Officials in our last league game, you & Sinised have defeated tough opposition to reach the semi's, so both teams have proved themselves. It's good to see 3 divisions in the semi-finals.. Championship (1), league one (1), premier league (2)

Small time player.. I'm sure City & United are shaking in their boots, much better options out there.. Hazard being one of them.

Wonder what they were discussing here, clearly he speaks a bit of english.

Yea, still only audio. I imagine we've missed the shirt presentation with AVB...

2 minutes to go then...

That's a rather grim view of our players mentality, this isn't the school playground.. they are professionals.

With Arsenal going into an ever-increasing meltdown, Chelsea are now the only force in London, yet Arsenal fans still claim to be the 'pride of london'.

With AVB now enforcing his signature ‘high defensive line’ (leaving us vulnerable at times), we will only benefit from pacy defenders like Luiz with this system.

A delete post option would get abused.

It's a shame we may not get the Modric/benayoun deal wrapped up in time... Would be a crime for Mata to be denied his number 10 jersey.
