Term-X 7,891 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 On the CFC site, Mata says he canºt wait for the US tour. Seems he will be going.Yes, but he will be leaving early, Check out the dates for the summer tour and the Olympics schedule.. He also misses all of our domestic pre-season games including the community shield, and will no doubt miss the first game of the season for obvious reasons.

Chelsea? 892 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I thought olympic soccer starts July 25 and our first USA game was July 18. But would be really awesome if Mata stayed for preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he bothers about it really. Most footballers get abused anyway. Just ask Ferdinand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanCFC 0 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 So does anyone know which Chelsea players are gone for the Olympics? And how much time will they spend with Chelsea before leavinf?We find out on Monday. Sturridge will be in there, Bertrand should be, maybe McEachran. I'll be pleasantly surprised if anybody else is. Only time will tell I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Luiz, Mata, Sturridge and Bertrand. Don't think there will be anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmarlow 458 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 My guess is Luiz, Mata, Sturridge, Romeu, Mceachran and Bertrand will all go to the Olympics so we wont be seeing them in Pre-Season! which is annoying! which also means Mata would most likely miss the Community Shield final as well!

There is Cleverly and Wilshere and others ahead of him. Really it would be a good thing if he doesn't go. He had a brilliant pre-season last time around (which people have forgotten too easily), hopefully he'll have a similar one and get some decent chances with the team.

Kojo 4,676 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 What do you reckon will happen?, i keep thinking about this lad and what could happen.Will this transfer make him?, or break him?. And where will he play exactly?.I have only seen him play once, that was the England v Belgium game. I don't know how good he is or what he's good at, seen some videos on youtube but they don't count. If he's playing behind the striker then what of Juan Mata?.What do you think will happen when Hazard comes here?, what will change, will there be major impact?. I don't know much about him at all so i would like to see a lot of opinions and views from other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,939 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Firstly I think everybody is hoping that this transfer is the making of him for every obvious reason possible. Weather it could potentially be the breaking of his character and a stumbling block in his career if things don't go exactly to plan only time will tell. Luckily he has age on his side and being the very assured, maybe some say 'cocky' youngster backed by extremely gifted ability i personally believe he has the persona and skill to rise to the expectations that will be weighing heavily on his shoulders here at Chelsea in the years to come.Now what is it that Eden is good at? I have seen a fair few games in which Eden has shone. Eden has explosive pace that he exerts in short bursts when he receives the ball in tight areas if he chooses not to use his excellent sense of one touch passing technique that can turn a simple passage of play into a full blown counter attack. His passing ability is excellent with an eye for acute angles that can split defenses with a single pass, also Eden has very quick feet which helps bamboozling defenders when running at them with speed an attribute any great winger possesses. He can play on the wing which is where i think at Chelsea we should use him in the first games he plays. I know he can play in the central attacking midfield role but in answer to your question where will Mata play when Eden is put into the team, i think it would be better to put Hazard on the wing instead of Mata because Eden has the more effective attributes as a winger and would be more of a danger than Mata. This would allow Mata to do what he done best last season and play in behind the striker in that attacking midfield slot that allowed him to express his ability and be a major success.The expected impact of Hazard is enormous and it may time for Eden to adapt his strengths to the power and pace of the Premier League but i think he will be let known he has the patience of both fans and club given it is his first season at Chelsea, I mean you only have to look at the level of tolerance shown to Fernando Torres to see that we can be patient and faithful to our own.In conclusion Sloth, I think you should be very excited to see Eden wearing the Blue of Chelsea and given that there seems to be more transfers with highly gifted players on their way to CFC during this summer transfer window it will be a very exciting time come the start of the new season!

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Left wing (although he will probably rotate if we play 4231), 19 goals and 7 assists. DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard a lot of comments about it, his stats for Lillie last season where impressive. I have heard Edens technique is world class and not many are capable of besides Iniesta, Ronaldo etc.Could he be one of the greatest players ever in a Chelsea shirt?, i think this team is in desperate need of a great player, a player with flair and ideas. Is Hazard a creative player?, or is that an aspect which has nothing special to it?. And with his pace maybe it is the right thing to do, to place him on the wing.
