Second player in a week you imply will pull a 'Mata' on us.

Two things though: 1) how many of our players did it in the last decade?

2)That joke got old pretty fast with you doing it every time a player says they love this club or that they want to stay long.

Firstly, like you mentioned there, it's only meant to be a joke. Nothing more and not sure why it's even being taken seriously anyway. And secondly, since when I've gone around saying "Wait till he joins United" or imply player X will pull a Mata on us whenever a player says he loves the club and want to remain here for years? That was like only the second time I said that.

If anything, what I meant to say or imply in the past is that, forgive me if I'm being paranoid or skeptical, I don't necessarily trust or believe 100% whenever a player said things about loving the club/want to stay here etc out of the blue even if it's great to hear it. It feels almost like a PR thing at times but that's just me. Other than that, nothing more.

Also maybe some of our current players aren't afraid of fighting for their spots in the main team and won't leave at the first bump in the road. Just saying...

Well, can't be bothered to debate about that again.

If people want to take up to that exaggeration made, then be my guest. It's always quite amusing people take things so seriously on the Internet, even if it's just a (supposed) lame joke.

Lol it must have hurt a little for you to keep posting about it

All cool here tho - I just don't want to get on the wrong side of a Brazilian lady (non metaphorically speaking of course )

I know we're cool here but please note the differences in the point I was trying to make in that reply to Barbara above rather than buying into that exaggeration made by her, if we are going to get all petty/sensitive about this.

And for the last time, that was only the second time I said "wait till he joins United" (the other was on Twitter)!

First time I heard that joke, made me laugh. People need to lighten up a little

Sorry then. I was annoyed by the repetition in the forum as in the Oscar thread when he said he planned to stay here for many years a few days ago you mentioned Mata. Then André says he loves being here you bring the Mata case again. It's just that we're happy for the players being happy about being here you kept mentioning a guy that left so easily... just thought it was annoying. 2 reactions in 2 possible cases in a few days apart. Seemed like a trend but I apologize if it was just something else

"You always want to win. Theres no point in playing well and losing".

Says it all realy. But unfortunely 80% of people watching football never played it and think Chelsea tactics are shit.

No worries.

The Mata-Oscar case was different though. Remember when Mata left the club, there were members here who keep on saying "He's gone. Get over it!" just because others kept on discussing about him and the situation? Then a bit later, people were still talking about Mata in Oscar's thread and comparing the two and that was when I posted the similar thing. I do admit that I did this a few times but it was nothing more than a sarcastic remark since people keep on saying "Get over it!" but yet still talking about him. And it's been awhile now since I last posted such thing.

Also, don't get me wrong on the things that Schurrle, Oscar etc said about loving the club, want to stay here for many years etc. It's great to hear the players at the club say that and I like it but maybe I'm just being paranoid or skeptical, I don't believe players 100% (at least not immediately) when they say that. Like I said before, at times it just feels like a PR thing, to get on the good side of fans especially when they just join the club. Otherwise, I have no issues with it.

True. I thinks those words (and i'm speaking in general not only for Oscar particularly) need to be proven on the long run. Maybe it's a little bit cynical, but football is just a job after all. And this job involves being liked by the fans. What does loving the club you're playing really translates to? It's easy to say "i love the club" as long as you're in the starting XI, or wining trophies or being successful in general. Some say that if Mata loved the club he should wait patiently, be benched this season and try very hard to earn his place. Now, this in not entirely something that i agree about Mata but my point is if you love your club then you have to be willing to support it and trust it's people in rough times (of your's or the club's) like Lampard and JT have done some many times. I got little bit off topic so sry for that.

Oscar may be a PR thing, but I don't think Schurrle is.

I think Schurrle is very honest and the way he talks about us and the club always seems very sincere and true. It seems like he's speaking from his heart. There's an emphasis that seems gratuitous which makes me believe he means it. He hasn't changed his speech at all and he's saying those things since his first interview. Normally PR moves start later...

Oh the Oscar comment I meant you posted about a week ago. It's in his thread, I didn't even remember such discussions from when Mata left. I know he left some widows and I know it's hard for some people to cope with one of their fave players leaving the club - especially the way it happened - but I meant something much more recent, as I said, like a week or so ago when Oscar said he wants to stay as long as Lamps and Terry have been.
