Juan Mata

[Fernando 6,422]

Really nice combination play with Cazorla. He needs a creative player like that behind him at Chelsea.

Now he will have Kevin after Oscar and hazard.

He will be spoiled for choices.

Anyways hopefully those reports are true about his new contract.

Totally deserves it, the little magician just like the old time favorite zola.

Chelsea playmaker Juan Mata has denied suggestions he is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.

Mata was named the club's player of the year last season but some media reports had suggested returning Chelsea boss Jos Mourinho might have no place for him in his squad.

Spain international Mata, who is in Brazil with his country as they prepare for the Confederations Cup, insisted he was unaware his future at the club might be in doubt and insisted he will speak with Mourinho directly rather than rushing to conclusions.

"Nobody at Chelsea has told me that Mourinho wants me out," he said.

"When I finished the season I was told that they were very happy with my performances and with the two years I've spent with the club.

"I have three years left on my contract. I'm very happy with Chelsea.

"Mourinho? I'd prefer to wait until I meet him and work with him before I judge him. That's simple logic."

Lol. People stirring shit for no reason.

Mata "player of the year" may be surplus to requirements...

Yeah that makes perfect sense.

What a goal from Mata and nice ball from Cazorla.

If we sell Mata (I don't think we will though) I will never forgive the club.

Does that include Jose? If not, you should include him too..

[Hutcho 8,443]

We're not selling mata. Relax people.

We're not selling mata. Relax people.

I agree. Mourinho's not stupid to sell Mata lol

[AndersonBLUE 819]

I think we should sell him along with David Luiz. We could really do with the extra cash. Hope Jose makes the right call and offloads them.

Let's sell Hazard too. While we're at it let's sell our whole bloody team. Jose needs the extra cash after all.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I think we should also sell that Courtois bloke, along with every other half-decent player under the age of 25 we have. Let's resign Carvalho, Bridge, Gallas, Ferreira, Duff, Joe Cole, Cudicini, Tiago, Huth, Scott Parker, Geremi, Smertin, Glen Johnson, Kezman, Jarosik, Gudjohnsen, Babayaro, Makelele, Drogba and Robben and have a fucking Class of 2005 reunion.

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Honestly, we are better off organizing a cake sale to buy new players. Mata/Luiz aint going nowhere.

Mata in Michael Cox's European Team of the Season...

Juan Mata, Chelsea

While Gareth Bale sacrificed his creative side to become a pure goalscorer (four assists but an amazing 21 goals), Mata’s performance was perfectly balanced – twelve assists, twelve goals. Mata’s positional sense is outstanding – see his drop into a deeper position to provide the pass for Demba Ba against Manchester United – he’s one of those rare creative players that appears to instinctively understand the tactical situation in a game, and position himself accordingly. He combines reliable ball retention with an amazing efficiency in the final third, orchestrating games from the midfield but popping up in the box to provide finishes too. He’s not just one of the best players in the Premier League at the moment, but possibly the best player in his position the division has ever seen.
