Waterfall 893 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Shaw, Salah and Zouma for Mata? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wouldn't be surprised if this did happen. A left footed right winger with great dribbling skills and good workrate, isn't that pretty much what Jose wants? Don't know much about his end product but he looks a talented young lad with great potential and he wouldn't be too expensive either, maybe €12-14m would do the trick. I'm just going to go ahead and say it. I honestly don't think replacing Mata by getting this guy to rotate with Willian on the right wing would be bad business, in fact I think it would be a great move by Jose because basically he'd basically be replacing an expensive bench warmer who he doesn't know how to fully utilise with a player more suited to his tactics while also getting a profit of around €30m. It's only the part about Mata leaving to join Manchester United of all clubs that's causing people to be butthurt and rightly so, but if he left for someone like PSG and we replaced him with Salah I would say job well done.

We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Shaw, Salah and Zouma for Mata?Matic, Shaw, Salah and Zouma all in January is unreal. I'd personally love it to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Matic, Shaw, Salah and Zouma all in January is unreal. I'd personally love it to happen.Frankly, so is selling Mata to fucking Manures. I know it can be justified, but United? No way.The only way we justify the Mata sale is by getting Zouma and Shaw. Not so keen.on this guy, though.Big fish fish in a very small, cold pond in Switzerland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus leaving Salah on the bench instead of Mata won't make any headlines either.The only question is that is he just a stop-gap for this year cause we're loosing 2 AMs or does Mou actually see him as a viable squad player for the future? It'd be stupid to buy him just to avoid an injury crisis. Just recall Moses or something if that's the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles 9,790 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Looks a cracking player from the FOUR games we have played against Basel in the last two seasons. He'd be a very smart transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What idiots fail to realize is that we're not replacing Mata with Salah.Mata has already been replace with Oscar!Salah will be replacing Mata's contributions for this season, which considering how little he's been able to contribute can be easily replicated or improved by Salah.

I think you're overreacting and you also forget Jose bought Matic to replace the spot left open when De Bruyne went to Wolfsburg. Now we have Mikel as a back-up for Matic, Essien for Rami, Lamps for Oscar, Schurrle for Hazard and Jose's looking for a back-up for Willian. How many attacking midfielders you want on the bench. Jose has made his point clear - Hazard, Oscar and Willian are his starters, you can't have world-class players on the bench. Mata is world-class, he can't stay on the bench. Also, you can't bring Reus or Cristiano to replace him and act as Willian's back-up. This is what Juan Mata is for Chelsea right now - a back-up for the RW (Willian). Nothing more. And you have to bring a back-up to replace him. Jose has found Salah as the answer to this question and why not? He is young, talented, his work-rate is immense and I'm pretty sure he won't mind staying on the bench until he gets accustomed to the EPL.
