Would you take him back if Jose gets the United job? 

Mata and Cesc in the same team would be a disaster unless we have over 80% possession most weeks.

Both are dreadful defensively and off the ball, with them in the same lineup the opposition would swamp our midfield and get no end of joy.

I don't agree at all, you don't need 10 men being superb defensively, and Fabregas is quiet decent in that aspect.

"It is always special for me to play in Stamford Bridge," he wrote in his blog.

"My feelings are different in a day like this, but once the referee blows the whistle for the kick-off, in my mind the only goal is to win, to give everything you have to help the team and to enjoy on the pitch.

"I have to say that I am deeply grateful for the reception from the Chelsea fans and their applause when I was substituted."

what a great player with a great personality.

Sign him back for no 10, if Jose take MU job and Hazard leaving this summer?

'That happens to all of us, but then you start to notice it in the younger players. You see kids who think they’re rock stars, wearing extravagant clothes and driving fancy cars and sometimes you have to take them aside and have a word.'

Who is he talking about?

Memphis?! [emoji2]

I think he's the best example.

He is definitely one of many examples he could bring. Our own Josh McEachran is another, thought he was a made man too soon.

I've never understood the footballers earn too much money argument. Football generates a ridiculous amount of money. Those who play the game professionally are responsible for that money. They get a cut out of the pot of money. We, the fans, are the ones making them so obscenely rich. We watch, we obsess.

Mata's right bout youngsters earning too much. That's a real problem. They're millionaires before they've even achieved anything. And that money will affect and change the great majority. It opens up a world most of us can only imagine. But I don't think that will be changing anyvtime soon though. Proper guidance, keeping a close eye on the players and strict rules concerning behaviour and presentation might help.
