Juan Mata

[chelseathebest 150]

"Doesn't fit in our system" is the biggest bullshit I've read on this forum. And it's sad that the bigger part of this forum seems to agree on that one.

He is one of the best 10 in the world, better than Oscar. If he lacks some work rate, tackling, or other stuff, then you as a team should compensate that because his attacking abilities are just too good.

Would be fucking disgusting to sell him to United.

If they can get in someone of Mata's quality as well as another CM then they'll have done extremely well this market.

RVP

Januzaj Rooney Mata

Would easily be the best front four in the World. Mata would get more games in his preferred position while Van Persie ages/struggles with injuries as well but I imagine they'll give him a free role when he's fit.

Signing Mata would be a real statement of intent and I imagine they'll go in for a Top CM in the summer.

But mata will still end up playing on the wings

Not a good move for us and for him.

Stewart Downing it is then. he's hard working and can get stuck in. he's a match made in heaven for "our system"

Saying he's hard-working defensively is like saying Rio Ferdinand wasn't pacy in his younger days.

I know you think you're being 'honest and unbiased' but it's just coming off like bitterness and moaning. No-one wants to see Mata leave but there doesn't seem to be a place for him, so offers like this aren't to be dismissed off-hand.

There are possibly players out there who we could buy to make our team even better, like a striker maybe.

If PSG came in with a similar bid, would there be any objections?

Seeing as they seem to have a dude called Cavani who is apparently unhappy at the club and Chelsea is still hungry for a world class striker, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

I'm stealing that line and will start using it to explain every action and decision I make.

When my family/friends ask me why I broke up with my ex. I reply with "she doesn't fit the system"

- Disagrees that Mata doesn't fit our system.

- Claims system should change to fit Mata's abilities.

You seem confused there mate.

A player that far down the pecking order can't be that good. sell that average luxury player and use some of the funds to buy a hardworking player like lee cattermole that will fit the jose system I say.

Lol.

But if it was just hardwork, shurrle will be ahead of hazard or willian. So no

Look - I'm sad it's come to this for Mata

BUT BIGGER PICTURE

Mata isn't going to play for Jose

Utd are no longer titles rivals and if we sell Mata we can hope Utd can take points off the teams around us

We need a striker. A deal now with Mata and an option on Rooney in the summer is a sensible move - REALLY sensible...

Like I said gutted - but sometimes you gotta have a little pain - this should (hopefully) be the final nail in the transition coffin!!!

I have NO doubts Rooney would want to come to Chelsea. The only thing keeping this from happening besides United's resistance to sell him to us is the taboo of joining your club's direct rival. But if Chelsea was to sell Mata to United, it would certainly break the ice and make things much more smooth.

Just the thought of Mata in that red shirt infuriates me.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

I just don't want to see mata in a manutd shirt. Anywhere but england pls

Do you think that every player in our system has to be Willian, Ramires or Oscar?

Where exactly did I say that the system should change to fit Mata's abilities? It's a fucking myth going on this forum. Nothing has to be changed, just put him on the 10.

That's called compensation. You become a little worse in defence, but you become much better in attack.

Now think about it again.

I can't see us selling Mata this window even if PSG came knocking with the same amount of cash now that KdB is gone. If we are going to be a top team and challenge on many fronts(cl,fa-cup, the League) we need to have a top squad, and not sell a quality cam to leave us with only Schurrle left in the middle of the season.
