Juan Mata

[Toli 977]

37 million is a lot of money though.

yeah but BEING HAPPY or being satisfied are two different things. people are posting funny pics in here while one of our best players of the past 2 years is about to leave us to our rival. i dont care about a lot money or not. we could argue that a foreign club would also pay 30-35 m euros. and I would rather decline 10 m and sell him abroad. we wont get any striker in now and we wont get any quality player in. maybe someone like salah. from mata to salah ffs.

like how can you celebrate this? its a/ disrespecting to juan and b/ disrespecting to our club. we look like fucking mugs if watching the rooney saga. they atleast have the balls to say no while we are dealing with them like they are a friendly club

Juan Mata set for Man Utd medical on Thursday. #MUFC #CFC

so its done. bye juan -.-

to people saying "a lot of money": WHO CAN WE GET WITH THIS MONEY now? what gives you a lot of money if you cant buy anyone with it?!?!

[Polo7 3,496]

We just sold someone who hasnt played a full league game this season for £37m. Im sad to see Mata go but that money can buy us Diego Costa!!

Disgusting to see people being happy at this. wow.

IF I was a Manure fan I'D be fucking delighted

So it's over?

I can never watch a United game again now. Couldn't bare seeing him in that shirt.

[Fernando 6,585]

Something tells me we should had more.

We are mugs sometimes getting out done by paying too much or selling for too little.

José doesn’t do excuses.

You just watch him in his next conference then.

Kaka was shit. thats why he opted for Özil. And Özil already played for Pellegrini. Lopez only played because Casillas was injured for a time. Really not comparable at ALL to Mata/Oscar situation.

huh? please explain.

Guys, like it or not, Mata today is a bench warmer for Chelsea. Such situation is both horrible for such an amazing player and also for the club.

It's normal that a part of all of us feels a sense of waste but let's be honest here, Mata was given a few chances this season and every single time he came on, he proved that the manager was right and the way we're playing now is simply not one that he can fit in. To insist on the adaptation of Mata to the way we're playing now is like insisting for a fish to climb a tree. Even if he somehow adapted, he just wouldn't be himself as a player anymore.

That said, the question we must ask ourselves first is, has it been worth it changing the way the team plays even if that means sacrificing Mata's quality? And so far there is no denying the team looks much stronger than what it did before. This means no matter how good Mata is, it's an unshakable fact that he simply has no future in our Chelsea club...

Which brings us to our next question. Who do we sell him to? Certainly, selling such a player to a rival club like United in the middle of the season can only be classified as a gamble. There is no point in arguing such move because it is literally a gamble.

On one hand, we could be getting 40 million out of a desperate United knowing that they will still be a mess because Mata is NOT the player they need, knowing that Moyes will still be a flop, knowing that this will only increase pressure on them and their manager, knowing that Mata will help them take points from our rivals, knowing that we could potentially be getting Rooney in the summer because of this. OR this could mean waking up a sleeping giant and helping United survive its huge crisis and come back to haunt us for seasons to come.

There is no way we can tell what will happen, except that this will either be one of the smartest cards ever played in the history of the EPL away from the field or one of the stupidest things for which we will be mocked for a lot of time.

The only thing certain is that this is going to be one hell of a season.

We better be using that money to activate Costa's release clause

Yes, There will be alot of gay sex tonight!!!

[LegenTerry 273]

He chose Oscar over Mata. I dont believe thats a mistake. Mata doesnt want to warm our bench. What is Jose supposed to do?

Give him a chance.

[Manuf 1,448]

what a great move by the way. "hey, can we have rooney? he wants to join us, take all the money you want!" "nope, Chelsea, he will sit on the bench if he has to, he's not joining a direct rival" "okay :<"

"hey, CFC, so we were wondering about that little Spanish fella, Mata or something, we can give you that money we got from Chevrolet. wanna trade?" "YEAAAH SO MUCH MONEY, WE'RE NOT SPENDING IT ON STRIKER ANYWAY SO YEAH, WE COULD USE IT! CAN WE HAVE ROO?" "lol, nope."
