Juan Mata

I liked Juan too and I'm somewhat against his transfer to United as well. I just don't agree with the schizophrenic drama queens here running around naked screaming it's the apocalypse.

Maybe so but think that's probably because, collectively it feels that way once you read up all the posts.

What a disgusting way to end a player's time at the club that loved wearing this shirt. I'm at a loss for words, tbh.

True. None of the younger players seem to love the club like he does/did.

Will never be forgotten that's for sure.

If only we could have delayed the transfer deals until after the FA cup match...

Both Essien and Mata deserve a sending off

Exactly. *sigh* Think the fans might show some support on Sunday.

Wait 5 months...

you wish

he will play for us until he's 40, than he'll become Mou's assistant (hopefully)

Fu*king amazing

Comparing mata to Mourinho.....wow.

Mata was a likeable lad - can you blame them? Show some empathy or better yet, if it bothers you so much, tune out of the forum for a few days.

It pisses me off that his last act here was being dragged off against Southampton - a game he was actually playing well in; 100% passing, 3/4 tackles made in his own half - he was trying to adapt the best he could, but it wasn't enough apparently. Such a great player for us and, contrary to the way some are acting here, a player we owe a lot to. Such a shame.

It'd be nice if he said goodbye to the fans, or we got to say goodbye...something.

Well at least he didn't do a Gallas!

His contribution to Chelsea FC is ineffable, not only his performances but his presence and character on and off the pitch.

Didier Drogba, Chelsea striker: I was just really disappointed. I was like, “Oh no, not again”. But I remember Juan Mata coming over to us all and saying: “We have to believe.” Then, a few seconds later, we got a corner.

9.29pm: Mata’s corner is swung over from the right, Drogba times his run at the near post to the split second and thumps a header into the roof of the net. Bayern’s players sink to their knees in frustration. The final is going to extra time.

We all know what followed, adios Mata.

Seriously. Do you think if Mata scores against us he will celebrate? I hope and believe that it's not possible

Sturridge, who so many hate on here doesn't celebrate against us.

Feels really, really strange. Been a pleasure watching him, right from that first game against Norwich where he absolutely lit the place up even before he scored. Such a nice, down to earth guy, and seemed like the first foreign player in a long time to show a genuine love for London and more importantly the club. He seemed like he'd be here for a long, long time and be an absolute legend.

Such a nice guy at such a disgusting, arrogant, horrible club now. It doesn't seem right.

Speaking of THAT night, one of my favorite moments then...

Cant believe this is happening......

Sturridge, who so many hate on here doesn't celebrate against us.

NO he said he was joining a better club....

This, after Juventus last season.
