Juan Mata

[Sheva. 5,373]

It's a shame we may not get the Modric/benayoun deal wrapped up in time...

Would be a crime for Mata to be denied his number 10 jersey.

Telegraph says it's a straight up 30m bid, Yossi not involved.

Doesn't mata though, i reckon he will still take the number

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT

[ZanSnake 1,211]

If we sign Modric without Yossi leaving that would be such a plus!

More options for the wings incase we have a 'bad' moment, as well as being at hand when Ramires would have to partner with Oriol to be the DMC when Mikel will be with the ACoN.

[Tomo 21,685]

Not dreading the ACON this year for once.

Drogba aint as vital as he was 2 years ago, Essien is out until April atleast, Mikel we should cover for and Kalou won't be missed too much either.

[Wilson 358]

Give Mata 21 and sell Kalou.

[ulsterchelsea 3,213]

Give mata 10, give benny 21 and give kalou the fucking boot

Because he is a respectable man, who just wants to say goodbye to the people he leaves at Valencia. Would you rather him to leave like a robber ? Me no.

Funny how transfers are. Torres when he left Atletico Madrid signed for Liverpool and came back and said goodbye officially with the blessing of Atletico. Mata the same thing with Valencia. Torres with Liverpool not so much.

Indeed.

You won't see shirt burning from Leti or Valencia.

12 - Juan Mata made more assists in La Liga last season than Lampard, Malouda and Kalou managed in total in the Premier League (9). Creator.

Premier League > La Liga.

But anyway, he's an amazing player and I'm glad we signed him. Finally some creativity!

Ok, Premier League is much better than the La Liga but... Chelsea much better than the Valencia, and Torres or Drogba much better than Soldado, better strikers, so they scores more than Soldado... So i think, this statistic exactly describes what we play on the midfield...Shame...

Welcome to Chelsea

Feels better knowing Mata snubbed Barcelona last year to stay at Valencia.

I guess he didn't want to betray Valencia by moving to Catalan rivals. Honourable.

- Mata knows that there are more players from his team on the field, Silva lacks that. Silva prefers to rely on his dribbling skills and plays "solo" most of the time, and Mata, however, prefers to pass the ball. Probably Silva is, then, faster and capable of dribble the defenders, but I think Mata's style is more clever and more convenient for the team.

Absolute rubbish. And that's not the only wrong thing he said about Silva.

Anyway, does anyone know if he's gonna wear the number 10 shirt for sure?
