Biggest wish for JM next year is to improve his play when in possession of the ball. I feel despite his talent he doesn't dominate enough games but is there a way for him to become more of a well-rounded midfielder without completely sacrificing his productivity in the final third?

That was probably Lamps only weakness and why he'll never truly (rightfully or wrongfully) be regarded amongst the greats of the game despite his unprecedented decisiveness, consistency and accomplishments, while Juan on the other hand still has time on his side to develop that side of his game.

Nah, Mata is fine the way he is. Why turn him into a Siilva and Cazorla when you have Oscar who very easily can end up better than both and is a similar player but even better defensively. Mata has excelled as a second striker high up the pitch, we should keep him there. His stats were out of this world. However, you are correct that we lack control in possession but instead of asking Mata to help, we should ask more of our midfield instead. Keep Mata high up the pitch where he can do the most damage.

LOL, no I dont, it is just that men should look like men and women should look like women!

I despise this metrosexual era we live in...

People should look however the fuck they please.

People should look however the fuck they please.

But I dont have to like nor I need to stop saying it is ridiculous!

If a man looks like a girl or vice-versa, I will still find it awful, no matter if they are allowed to or not...

Anyways, this is Mata's thread and not Metrosexual thread!

Marca/Radio Brand are saying that Jose Mourinho has stated he will listen to offers for both Fernando Torres & Juan Mata...

Would be 'insane' to get rid of Mata. But have to understand one thing here - It is Marca.

I think #CFC fans would go mental if Chelsea sold Mata - But as I say it is Marca, so have to be very cautious.

Mourinho wants to sell Mata?! :lol: :lol:

[Special Juan 27,424]

Silly season...if all this is to go by we will have the tea lady and Cech left.

[Fernando 6,453]

Selling Mata?

Blasphemy!

Not even Mourinho is that stupid enough.

But Torres, yes please! :blue scalf:

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Mata has to stay. No argument.

[ERickhi 0]

I just don't believe anything what Marca say...maybe they just hate mou...

Its embarrassing how predictable the muppets in the media are.

Jose Mourinho in his Chelsea TV interview said he wants to improve players and didn't mention Mata, that means he wants to sell him

Probably because he ruined the Luiz stories by mentioning his name.

The media are actually still running the 'Luiz to be sold' stories.

Stinks of Madrid interference, probably trying to bite back now that Mou's out the country. Look forward to him dismissing them in his usual comical ways.

[Jase 43,479]

Mourinho shows Mata and Torres the Chelsea door, the real story behind Marca claims

[haranr 485]

Mata will stay in Chelsea at least for another season. If not for another 5 years.

[blueaddict 6]

Its a fact dat Marca is a Madrid-based paper,its d hate they have for Mourinho,they are trying to unsettle Mata with this rumours,he's our best player for Fuck sake,he wont be sold,Mourinho surely is aware of his on-field talents and abilities

[Billy. 2,742]

Mata is going nowhere

[LeonDavis23 371]
