Juan Mata

anyone else feel like matal is a total pretender the way he makes it sound like he was forced out of the team? first time ever dude had to fight for his place and he left us as soon as he could.

he really didnt want to fight for his place so he really didnt like the club i guess

Totally agree sick of hearing about him now. Made me bit sick all game the commentators going on anoint how we will cope without our best player??

F***** joke, if he was our 'best player' he wouldn't be gone.

The team that could be bothered to fight really did well today

Why the guy that's on my shirt this year... what do you guys do with your Mata shirt?

Just gonna keep it but not gonna wear it till he leaves United.

Bin it, he won't be looking back, he's getting the Mata show now at Utd.

The nonsense the commentators were going on about, our best player, he WASN'T playing for us.

I remember he talked about his biggest wish was to win Premier League title with Chelsea and I was certain we will win it with him in next couple years. Oh well...

Funny thing, if we do win it this year, Mata will get a medal of that..

well he deserves it in the end afterall...but it would be fun to see

It might just provoke some reaction from people but we shall see.

He did enough for our club though, if he would go publicly and force transfer to ManU and piss on us for not playing etc..it would be different. Those who think of him as ''traitor'' will obviously rage over if this happens (which isnt that impossible, but give time time)

[The_Flash 1,144]

Have you missed something, he clearly did have a heavy hand in the move and go on about 'his difficult situations'. Bloody rubbish, Chelsea suddenly wasn't the 'Mata show'

He didnt want to fight, he's off to utd of all places.

If we win he doesn't deserve a medal he's done so little for us this season but look like a Cheshire Cat with Gollum Moyes and go on about how unhappy he was.

Plenty of players have sat on the bench I can't believe he couldn't stay till at least end of the season.

that would be great. i wonder if he would accept it...

[Jase 43,479]

Maybe or maybe not. Even if he did, don't think he would feel like he earned it since he didn't exactly contribute in our league campaign throughout the season.

Good bye bro @juanmata10, Good luck on your new journey to Success, I'll miss you & your hospitality here @chelseafc. pic.twitter.com/bhS4Dva1RY

Hospitality? Interesting choice of word.

[Laylabelle 9,345]

The whole 'If Rafa had sold him' argument a bit daft.Course people be pissed off had he sold him being temp manager at the time!Jose however isnt and hopefully be around for the future.End of the day he knows what he's doing and Mata deserves to get played so all makes sense.

[Jase 43,479]

Manchester United keep Chelsea at arm's length before Mata transfer

An article in the Guardian on the Mata transfer. Is related as well to our interest in Rooney. Story goes back to the start from last August..

his full first interview for THOSE guys!!! poor quality though.

Funny that when they were introducing him, there was no mention of him having a Champions League medal with us whatsoever. Poor try Manure.

So - if I understand it properly then United was Mata’s choice already back in August…or put it this way: Mata wanted United before United wanted Mata. (The Guardian article).

Do we know if his father approached other clubs as well, or was United the highest priority from the beginning?

Not sure how true is that TBH. If Mata was just 'killing' his time here till January while waiting for a move to United, then his reaction at Southampton doesn't make much sense..
