Juan Mata

[Sheva. 5,373]

Quick question, anyone know if he can take free-kicks?

[ulsterchelsea 3,213]

there is still no sign of ssn or beeb reporting this and they must have picked up on the same rumors as we have

Sky don't report on rumours (only on their transfer clockwatch as they already have) they only report nailed ons.

thats my point! its not that nailed on, they are reporting lass to the spuds and that aint done yet

[- 25 - 167]

Same here, but I don't see why we should get rid of one player who did exceptionally well during pre-season... should we be thinking twice about this??

Totally agree, he was excellent pre season. He should stay imo.

Mata move 2 Chelsea sorted. It's a matter of hours. Clubs agreed fee, 28m (euros), personal terms agreed too. He's very much looking 4ward to it

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Right so Ballague/Migeru_cb have tweeted it...that's all the proof I need. Time to get excited.

[BosnianLion 232]

Get innnnn

[dodojojo 510]

If Yossi has to go in order to get Modric then it's understandable. But if they're willing to take Kalou instead, I would be thrilled with Yossi staying. Gotta keep skilled players on the team not let them go. Plus, I don't think he and Modric play the same position. Modric plays deeper and Yossi plays further up the pitch. Yossi is a good squad player and can give a few quality starts.

[Tortilla9 390]

Am I the only one surprised at how quickly this has happened assuming the deal goes through?

[dodojojo 510]

Mata wanted to go. Valencia wanted to sell.

[diskoviolente 425]

Nah mate, this sort of came out of the blue, i mean that there hasnt been publicity about ages long negogiations.

THIS IS SO NOT TRUE

Benayoun DID NOT demand this number, he always loved the number 15 on his shirt, but 15 was Malouda's already,

so our club probably decided to offer him the number 10, because Joe leaved and 10 was available. So he said yes.

Listen to me, im from Israel, Yossi isnt my fav player, but i know what kind of a person he is, egomaniac?!

Thats the last thing you can say about him. The last. Stop with this bashing when you dont know him.

Your making it into a such a big deal. So he agreed to take the number 10, WOW, what an asshole... its normal

that when Joe leaved, Yossi, Joe's replacment, got it.

spot on !

fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me, we have winger, yeaaaah.

@GuillemBalague

Mata is a clever player between the lines but not the quickest winger. His intelligence and vision makes him the ideal Torres helper

@GuillemBalague

28m euros for Mata... yesterday I met Villas Boas, expected all sorted by Sunday and since then player and coach have spoken

I won't get eating the pie before it is in the oven.

Its just a Mata of time before we see Juan (father/agent) of the Matas at Cobham to finalize the deal. Supposedly father/agent will be at SB to watch the match.
