Juan Mata

I hope Mata never gets a PL medal now!

[yuvala 2,167]

C'mon Mata.. is this where u wanna go ?

[De_ChrapQaa 192]

i want to have chicharito's luck, he is so shitty at finishing and shooting technique, yet he always score somehow...

[didierforever 7,349]

Just trying to say he isnt as good as us Chelsea fans make him. Those were examples. He is great going forward but he doesnt do enough going the other way. Its fact.

we chelsea fans make him out to be as good as he is. no one here is debating the worth of playing oscar or mata as the no.10 in JOSE'S system. like u said, he is GREAT going forward. that's a FACT.

At the end of the day Mata chose to go to United. He could have stayed and fought for his place.

I think he gets one if we win it if he has played 10 matches...

He was pretty much forced out, manager told him he can go, got hardly any games

""Chelsea Football Club thanks Juan Mata for his service and wishes him well at his new club""

[didierforever 7,349]

The people who keep saying club > player as an argument should realise most people want Mata to stay because he's been a fantastic servant OF THE CLUB, and feel he can still be important TO THE CLUB.

Some make it sound as if you're not a Chelsea fan for supporting Mata right now. I find it offensive.

what i dont get is, fans always want the player to be a loyal servant to the club. to always give his 100% and fight for the club, but what does the club have no responsibilty towards the player? can the club literally treat players like property owned?

the way we have treated mata is just disgusting.

We dont know if Mourinho said go to Mata.

Oh, Yes We Do!

I not only have thought about it, I am almost certain he wants to go (not that I have inside info). However, Mata is not the player that would cause trouble due to a 6 months wait...

We are only selling him because ALL the parties want this deal to go through. I highly doubt our board actually tried to sell Mata to anyone. If they did, I bet other clubs would have showed interest in him!

And to your answer, yes. We should keep him until the end of the season so everybody can think through a deal better than in a rushed January transfer. We still have huge games until the end of the season, you know? Hazard - Oscar - Willian cant play in the high level we need them to twice a week until May or so!

In an ideal world, we would: 1) keep Mata; 2) utilize him every now and then in games where our starters cant play; 3) only sell him to a non-rival after the season is over and all our loanees are available to replace him (Piazon, Moses, etc)...

It is not such an impossible plan!

How about this for a plan :

- We sell Mata for £37 million.

- Buy Salah (who actually fits the system we're playing) to replace Mata as a squad player.

- Buy Shaw/Costa now.

- Buy the one we don't get in the summer.

- Sit back and watch us demolish every team we come across including man united with Mata.

Actions speak louder than words.

[bouletje 82]

Hope José stays for atleast 5 years now that he's letting a WC player go because he doesn't fit his system.

Mata has just made his way back to London!

[Thendo 1,088]

United out of the cup...small consolation atleast

[Hutcho 8,443]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. CANT STOP LAUGHING!!!!

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

I really hope this game changes Matas mind, what a shit squad that is.
