Because he is a respectable man, who just wants to say goodbye to the people he leaves at Valencia. Would you rather him to leave like a robber ? Me no.

Funny how transfers are. Torres when he left Atletico Madrid signed for Liverpool and came back and said goodbye officially with the blessing of Atletico. Mata the same thing with Valencia. Torres with Liverpool not so much.

Indeed.

You won't see shirt burning from Leti or Valencia.

Premier League > La Liga.

But anyway, he's an amazing player and I'm glad we signed him. Finally some creativity!

Ok, Premier League is much better than the La Liga but... Chelsea much better than the Valencia, and Torres or Drogba much better than Soldado, better strikers, so they scores more than Soldado... So i think, this statistic exactly describes what we play on the midfield...Shame...

- Mata knows that there are more players from his team on the field, Silva lacks that. Silva prefers to rely on his dribbling skills and plays "solo" most of the time, and Mata, however, prefers to pass the ball. Probably Silva is, then, faster and capable of dribble the defenders, but I think Mata's style is more clever and more convenient for the team.

Absolute rubbish. And that's not the only wrong thing he said about Silva.

Anyway, does anyone know if he's gonna wear the number 10 shirt for sure?

The subsequent departures of Silva and Villa saw him become occasional captain and take increasing responsibility for creativity: his passing is crisp, his movement intelligent and his timing impeccable when it comes to arriving late to finish or dashing beyond the defensive line. He has scored 28 goals over the past three seasons. Last season he scored eight and provided eight assists, creating 74 chances. On average, only one player – Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil – created more goalscoring opportunities from open play. At the end of the season, Opta built a team of the season: Mata was one of only two non-Madrid or Barcelona outfield players included, alongside the Málaga winger Santi Cazorla.

Nominally playing on the left, Mata likes to drop inside and become involved. "I am not," he says, "an old-style winger stuck right out on the wing and limited to running at people and getting crosses in. I like to drop inside, and get between the lines. I tend not to try to take people one on one; I believe in movement, interchange, and being vertical [incisive]." With Valencia there was great mobility among the line of three behind the strikers and this summer's U21 European Championships, at which Mata provided more assists than anyone else as Spain were proclaimed champions, revealed his capabilities in a more central role. He had become the complete playmaker. It is those qualities that Chelsea – and Fernando Torres, aware of the potential benefits to him – were so keen to add.
