Juan Mata

[Pacquiao 1,834]

Better movement and goalscorer than everyone in our team except costa

Remy says hello

Remy says hello

Forgot him

We don't play 2 strikers though so only one of costa or Remy can be on the pitch

From his latest blog post:

From this Monday we are already thinking about our next final, a visit to the leader of the Premiership. Needless to say that its going to be a very special game for me. I already played against Chelsea in the first half of the championship, but going back to Stamford Bridge for the first time will bring me plenty of good memories, for sure. The day I arrived to this great club I wrote: Gratitude is the memory of the heart. And I keep thinking the same. At that time I had the chance to thank everybody who helped me in London during those two and a half years, and next Saturday it will be nice to meet former team-mates, fans and friends. I keep good memories of them and I wish them the best.

epitome of class.

Hopefully our fans don't boo Mata our twice previous player of the season. If he does score than we should clap to show we still appreciate his talent. He is a classy gentleman that deserves respect. Jose can learn a little from Mata.

We will give him a good reception before and after the game but during it, he's the enemy. We won't boo him but we also won't cheer for him (unless he scores an OG maybe).

THERE is no way Mata will get booed

Love this chap. Still gutted he's gone.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

He is the Rahul Dravid of Football.

[didierforever 7,349]

remember when people said that he is not good enough or i remember when i was ridiculed when i dared compare him with ozil (how is he these days)!!!

he is one of the classiest people on and off the pitch.

would be heart wrenching to see him play against us.

I never thought we'll find it so hard to get another midfielder with as good movement to always get chances and fantastic finishing as Mata.

If he had some strength and a little more speed, he would have been world-class. Shame he coudn't cope with Mourinho's physical demands for the right wing like cuadrado has found out.

This is how I see Juan Mata...

I don't know whether to love him or hate him! Just like Marmite!

Well, maybe had Mourinho been more flexible in his approach and less dogmatic to players, Mata might have still been here...

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

The myth that the play has to be build around him is still in tact ?

Or that you cannot challenge for the title with him in the squad ?

Thank you.

I was for the transfer of Mata as I trusted in Mourinho and thought it was for the better of the team, but watching how Oscar panned out you can't help but wonder what if Mourinho put a little more faith into Juan.

[lionsden 4,689]

Would anyone still have oscar over him?

No
