Juan Mata

[Myself 793]

In that same vein if Mata really loved us he would have accepted being an impact sub here.

fair enough, can't argue with that.

Still fucking love the man though, its obvious he still likes us

Should go to Atheltico. This guy needs to play Champions League football and compete for titles.

[zolayes 14,489]

I think a lot of players were affected by the prospect of playing in the World Cup ,

Mata , Lukaku , and Oscar to name just 3.

They are full of strikers and second strikers. Mario, greizmann, gimenez and cersi were all bought this season. What they need is a good tiago replacement. Mata would be a useless buy for them

[iseah100 5,612]

Maybe he'll go to Monaco.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Should go to Valencia...he is almost their legend, knows the city, they have good project and CL next year probably. Nice weather and la liga suits him well.

Not to mention Mata doesn't even fit their high pressing, aggressive style of play.

Had Mata stayed at Chelsea, he would of made EL Rojo regardless.

True. I mean, just look the last signings of that club.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Should go back to Real Madrid.

I'm just sort of floating this out in the ether ... if he spends 2014-15 bench warming at United and they're willing to sell for ~15m while Oscar endures another season of the terrible form from Jan onwards, how many of you would take him back?

I would, any time, day, week, month and year.

Unless somehow I felt like not winning another league title for 5 years I would take him back. Now if I wanted to see Chelsea winning the league, then no thanks. Been there, done that. He doesn't work for English football in general, much less to the system Mourinho has here. And yeah I'm absolutely stating he compromises our title chances. But he writes nice blog entries... there's that.

If Oscar doesn't work we should move to someone else who does. Mata ain't that player and we need him creatively even less now with Cesc in the team. He offers very little effectively, reason why he'll probably warm United bench too

not really. oscar would fetch us very good money (35-40mil). we dont need mata when we know that he simply wont work in that position and under jose's style of play.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Very sad story. Really loved him here

He would have the same problems under Simeone that he had under Jose.

No, he doesn't fit the system and in terms of the creativity he offers we have already signed an upgrade.

He was my fav chelsea player when he were here but I never really saw him as good enough to be the best player on a great team. Don't think Mata can be effective unless he's the main man
