All these rumors.. what Balague is quoted to be saying..

I think I'm gunna be sick!

[Special Juan 27,492]

Roman should keep the cash and treat himself for once.

[lionsden 4,689]

Its really surprising the way Mourinho has made GULLIBLE pple believe Mata is a bad player lol SMH

It's sad isn't it?

Thank God I have got brains and eyes and can make my own judgement. some people may never know what that feels like.

Even if Ferguson (who I rate as the greatest manager of all time) tells me Oscar is a better player than mata, I had laugh in his face.

I honestly don’t get some of the emotional outburst against Mourinho. Mata is old enough to know which club he decided to join.

According to “The Times” Mata asked to leave Chelsea this morning. So what was Chelsea (José) supposed to do then?

1. Tell him he can’t leave and keep him on the bench - and get blamed for ruining his career.

2. Start playing him ahead of Oscar (revise the existing system) and gamble with the rest of the season. And how would you react if it meant we started to lose matches?

3. Mata is obviously well aware of which club he decided to join - should Chelsea (José) question his judgment and tell him he should wait for another offer?

Some of Chelsea legends sat on the bench when Benitez and AVB were at Chelsea and I can’t remember this kind of (over)reaction.

Now Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world and probably knows a bit more about football than me. So I personally trust his judgment on the Oscar/Mata issue. But perhaps Mata could have asked for another way out - such as loan.

1. I agree, actually everyone said wait until the summer and for PSG, but what if PSG got no interest in the 1st place anyway? Because if they did, what is stopping them from bidding now and give him a few months to blend in? Also are they gonna pay 40m like MU or want to go for the cheap of around 25m?

2. Eventually the Jose out brigade will come out if that happens

3. Exactly and actually make sense, it is not like we are FORCING Mata to sign for them. If he tells them to fuck off then of course we wouldn't force him to go, that would violate the term of contract and human right.

Just sell Courtois and David Luiz and circle will be complete...

[SinineUltra 1,170]

Were going 4:3:3

Or we desperately wanna raise a few funds for a big bid for a player!! But WHO!???

With all this talk about converting to 433 - what has stopped us from doing so anyway? I mean Mata included in the squad or not, shouldn't make a difference. How did Mata exactly stop Mourinho from choosing his tactics?

Luiz for 40m eventually maybe but not Courtois. Luiz can be sold and we can sign Shaw+Zouma for his money.

Believe it or not I've actually backed Jose on most things up until now (including the mini-meltdown on here when we were really struggling earlier this season or the outrage we loaned Lukaku to Everton). I just can't contemplate selling our best player despite him not getting a fair shot all season long and to our rivals nevertheless.

The boring football and results first mentality as well as the near-exclusion and development of youth are all staples of his management I've learned to accept during his first tenure here.

He's had a fair shot though. Its a results business and Oscar was carrying us early in the season.

What are you on about?

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Is Dzeko still unhappy at City? I'd take him

[11Drogba 2,000]

We know Jose, he'll probably use that money for defensive midfielders or fullbacks.

I like every single thing you wrote in this thread.

[Bacika 188]

He said Aguero, Hulk and Falcao to us were done deals and that Ronaldo was going back to United.

And lots of other things...he is NOT reliable..

[Special Juan 27,492]

Never sell to a rival

[duo11bluecl 207]

MU sold one of the best player in football history and replaced him with Valencia, still won 2 titles in the next 4 seasons. They annually lose their best players like Van Gol, Stam, Tevez, Beckham and still do well. WHY? BECAUSE THEY GOT ONE OF THE BEST MANAGER IN HISTORY, SO DO WE. That is why we as a club will survive, this sale means nothing. Arsenal sold RVP last season, now topping the table. Liverpool sold Torres, bought an even better player in Suarez.

KTBFFH, WE ARE CHELSEA, WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS AND WE WILL STILL MOVE FORWARD NON STOP.

[Bacika 188]

Ooooo my God....and that means.......

We can't bet on it :-) as I said we are not singing guarin, we are not selling Mata...

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If only we got Rooney, that would make some sense...but obviously we cant negotiate and do whatever they say...we are chelsea, the worst when comes to transfers...

People will laugh at us as hell if Mata becomes a hit in Manu. At least Mou will look like a fool for this ridiculous decision.
