Special Juan

Pellegrini has lost it. First he can't add up…... A lot of coupons down already

I just love this lad, think he is an outstanding footballer.

Yeah, I get him mixed up with Samaras too.

Still be an excellent signing IMO. Plus it would fuck off all the Manc bastards at the same time.

Poor Wayne.

Boro have mad an enquiry about him also.

Rooney will be linked to us again soon.

Can see him being the kiddy here next season.

Not my type.

Well Gibson is ambitious, fair play to them if they give it a go I say.

They want Essien too. I spoke with Mark Proctor yesterday and he confirmed this.

Thoughts are with Ole and his family at this difficult time.

Well that would be very typical of people in this day and age. I'm looking at it from all angles possible, I still keep coming up with the same answer.....He doesn't offer what Jose wants!!! So therefore he cannot be allowed to sit out games, the bloke is a top notch player and deserves to be playing football, he needs to leave for his own career if Jose does not see him in this system, which he doesn't.

How anyone can be unappreciative of what Mata has done is not even in it, I don't think there would be a single person on here, or anywhere. The debate isn't of that, the debate is about his long term future here and yesterdays happenings.

There is that, but there is also the fact there is a time and place to show your frustration. This can be done away from the cameras behind close doors etc, and this doesn't just apply to Mata, but to every player. I never understand why players show petulance when they are subbed from the field, after all they maybe human and have feeling but they also have a level of professionalism to show, both as a player and role model. Jose said his door is always open for people to speak with him, this is the route Mata should of taken, now the Jose heckles are up and Mata has a choice. If my boss grills me at work I don't show petulance or annoyance I simply take it on the chin or debate back in a reasonable and rational way. We live in a media driven world which you would make them think twice about doing what they do no matter what the circumstances. He's a professional who want's to play football, that has to be remembered here and for the good of both parties the right agreement must be reached whether we part or stay company. I can see both points of view but Mata should of gone about this the right way, the way he did was the wrong way.

He could be a magical bargaining tool is how I am looking at it.

Jesus, 25M.

Ghostbusters

His ball through to Oscar where he dived was sublime.

See it's the fine balance between having someone who is content sitting on the bench and being used sporadically and someone like him who wants o be playing and thinks he should be playing all the time. Saying 'Keep him' is easy to us, but he wants to play but isn't better right now then Hazard, Oscar or Willian, it's that simple.

Yep, he wants a style and if Mata doesn't suit it then so be it. It's been discussed before and I will say it again, this isn't Torres or Mata FC it's Chelsea FC and Jose is steering this ship.

A lot of Inter fans on another forum I frequent are actually willing for this to happen, that to me doesn't sit right.

Link?

From what I hear about him there ain't much to look forward too.
