Juan Mata

[Chelsea? 892]

Last season a 31 year old injury prone liverpool player joined the club.

Which is why we're now after Modric.

so does Mata think he's bigger than the club?

You can call him a fringe player, but for many on here - or maybe just me - he was the man of Pre-season, he showed how much of a threat he was and was continously making attacks out of nothing. If you want someone that can make the team better not in the team, then surely you are deluded.

I would rather have Benayoun as a first team starter on the left wing then Malouda, or on the right instead of Kalou.

No, Because Mata is good enough for the Chelsea first team.

Great news - and thanks for getting the thread back on topic to the Mata at hand.

well no one was waering the #10 shirt, and Benayoun was kinda of a #10 player, Maybe he was promised the #10 shirt as incentive to join. wasn't Benayoun the one that said Liverpool was too uptight?

who actually gives a shit?

calling some players egoistic is massively hypocritical for so many people on this forum. always trying to put one comment above the otherand try and win a useless argument. why not stick to the topic of his transfer rather than being so petty?

The mata being discussed was starting to get out of hand

If only trasfers were done in this manner at CFC, . 3 days we have a proper winger with loads of potential. Now lets sought that midfield asap. If modders doesnt come, just bring in Ganso (santos asking for 23M)

[Chelsea? 892]

great if its for 24mil. I hope news sites decide to write it in pounds rather than euros

If numbers don't matter, let's bring Zola's 25 shirt out of retirement.

Zola's number 25 aint been officially retired (well no annoncement of it anyway) its just never been used.

So finally that's another winger added then...good to see we're finally getting somewhere

Looks like it's only a Mata of time. I know it's getting excessive but I'm only home and missed the fun earlier
