Juan Mata

[Muzchap 8,966]

Arsenal are interested in signing Chelsea playmaker Juan Mata this summer.

The Spaniard's future at Stamford Bridge has been under scrutiny since Jose Mourinho's return as manager.

And Sportsmail understands the Gunners are being kept updated with regards to the former Valencia man's future with a view to launching an audacious swoop should Chelsea decide to sell.

Really? The only scrutiny placed under Mata @ Chelsea - is by this fucking ridiculous rag of a paper!!!

Fuck off and write a Rooney story!

If Wilshere stayed healthy and when on form, he's world class. If he'd have stayed fit for the past few seasons we'd probably be hearing near Bale type money for him since he's English and all.

If I had to make a wild guess I'd say he's probably worth £30m right now.

He has talent and all but he's constantly picking up injuries at this moment. He's still yet to be able to play and perform consistently. To say he's worth 30m right now is rather farfetched and is based only on reputation.

helsea have begun proceedings to offer Juan Mata a new contract before the start of the 2013-14 season, in order to ward off a long list of interested clubs and finally end speculation about the playmaker’s future.

The Spaniard is coveted by Barcelona and was last week even the subject of a rumour in which he was reportedly offered to Manchester United in part-exchange for Wayne Rooney.

Chelsea swiftly denied the story, and Stamford Bridge insiders have told ESPN that they were already in the process of tying down Mata’s future at that point.

The 25-year-old’s current deal ends in 2016, but Chelsea want to extend that to 2018 and also raise his wages from under £70,000 a week to £100,000.

Although the Europa League winners are now very confident of securing Mata’s future, it is understood that there was initially some genuine uncertainty at the start of the summer.

Some in Mata’s camp were unsure of his status after Jose Mourinho’s appointment as manager, while the Portuguese was at the same time ruminating on where exactly the playmaker would fit into his planned system.

It is also known that a number of top European clubs felt he was surprisingly available for transfer, with Barcelona especially encouraged and hopeful of a purchase.

The situation has eased significantly since then, with Mourinho also making much more glowing comments about Mata than he did on first being appointed. The Chelsea manager has been explaining where he sees the Spaniard’s specific role in his first XI as part of a rotating trio of playmakers.

Most importantly of all, it is understood that Mata - along with Oscar - is one of Roman Abramovich’s personal favourite players in the team. That would make any direct sale almost impossible.

By contrast, as Chelsea step up their efforts to sign Rooney, club sources have stated that both Fernando Torres and Demba Ba are available for transfer.

Please, someone buy Torres!

[NishC300 1,865]

Chelsea want to sell this man..Hell NOOOOOOOOOO!!

Nah these rumours keep popping up not because we want to sell him BUT because others want him IMO.

[mediator 2,026]

Just ignore them

Yeah, I don't know if he's worth that much, but I bet you they wouldn't take a penny less than that for him currently.

I read this on FB:

1. Juan Mata asks random people on the street if he can take a picture with them.

2. Juan Mata believes in Fernando Torres.

3. Juan Mata swapped his first class plane ticket with a woman in third class.

4. Juan Mata texted Jose Mourinho: "Don't sell Fernando Torres, he will come good."

5. Juan Mata's brain cannot process the word arrogance. He only knows humbleness.

6. Juan Mata never walked past a homeless person without giving him/her money.

7. When Juan Mata sees a shooting star he wishes that everyone else's wishes come true.

8. Juan Mata has never stepped onan ant.

9. Juan Mata has never said a swear word.

10. Juan Mata reads the terms andconditions before agreeing them.

Not 100% sure if this stuff is true since FB is full of bs

So you see this ?

I don't think so mate. Human, all too human ....

Rumours say his about to get a contract extension, abt time it happened

[haranr 485]

If Juan ever leaves Chelsea, it's to Spain.(Real Madrid or Barca).

There is no 1 reason in the world for Mata to join another Primer League club.

My Tottenham friend says Mata is the best player in the league (yes, even over their beloved Bale). My United friend says he's the most exciting player to watch in the league. He's not overrated at all... I feel people are just spoilt tbh.

Last season similarly people were saying that Mata will be phased out of the team because of the Oscar and Hazard signings and alas, he had an even better season. People shouldn't write this guy off like that, he's absolutely brilliant. Like I said, we've been spoilt.

It's like people are ashamed to say that Mata is our best player, and I think that's very ungrateful and disrespectful.

Mata will again prove (don't know why he has to tbh, but yeah) this season that he's indispensable and truly one of the best players in the world.

Mata reminds me of the mate you briefly forget about when someone new and flashy comes along (Hazard last year, KDB this) but eventually you realize he's the best mate.

These rumors of him leaving are normal during contract renewal. His agent is trying to gain leverage.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

I find it amazing how one of the best player in BPL is on peanut wages compared to others yet he doesn't complain, top class guy. I am sure if this was Rooney and he was entering the final 2 years of his contract, he would want a massive pay rises to stay like he did in 2010. Mata isn't that type of guy, he wouldn't kick up a fuss. Even if we refused to offer him a new contract I am sure he would accept it and stay until the end of his current contract and still give it his all. Top class professional and one hell of a player.
