Juan Mata (Merged)

Actually your both wrong as it is better to look at how our forwards would do against their defence and visa versa, how our midfielders would sort would sort theirs out etc. Also how each manager would set their side out.


Whoops forgot to put a :)

Haha this is brilliant. Sure he's a decent player but if they have bought him instead of Modric then that's great news for us. Modric is twice the player of Mata and for €28m they have way over paid!

I'm going to put my neck on the line with Mata and say that the premier league is going to be very surprised at just how average he is.

EDIT: Just seen that Ballague (bullshitter anyway) reckons that they're going after Modric as well. Good luck to them but Mata is still nowhere near worth €28m.

We don't know that for a fact. The only thing we know is that they are both talented players. When Mata gets here and starts to play, we will know if he was overrated or not.

My guess, is he;d probably shine like Silva, Yaya, VDV and Aguero before him. It seems La Liga players almost always come to the Prem and shine. Perhaps the prem is slightly overrated.

I'm putting my neck on the line with Mata and saying he really is not that good. I watched Valencia at the Mestalla about 10 times last season and he just doesn't do it for me. It might be a case of him performing better in a better Chelsea team because Valencia are a pretty poor side despite their 3rd place finish but tbh I'm pretty happy he's not coming to us. I also think it would be a huge mistake if Chelsea signed him instead of Modric.

I'm glad someone else has posted this because I've seen the lad a few times and he strikes me as being a promising young player and nothing more. Nasri, Modric and Sneijder would all be much better signings imo.
 
The wheels have fallen off the wagon at Chelsea IMO. Buying Torres gave the 50 million pounds of headache. They can't play possession with him. He truly isn't the kind of player that can play all three forward lines which is why he fell out with Spain. He can drop into midfield, yes, but not even like Shrek.

Chelsea are too old to compete for honors. Ashley Cole has lost a step. Bosingwa is a nightmare defence-wise. Modric is going no where. This is a media wind up like no other. They may get Mata but their problems are personnel that doesn't match the style.

Balague is apparently tweeting Mata deal done £28m to Chelsea - Modric to follow

Chelsea clearly don't have Brian 'the genius' Marwood working on their deals!
 
According to Greame Hunter the three Premier League clubs who were in for Mata were Arsenal (who wouldn't pay the wages!! Surprise surprise), Spuds (who got blown out of the water by fuck knows who) & Chavski who showed more desire than anyone else to complete the deal.

Jesus Navas anyone?? :-)
 
Well, we can't have everyone, our squad is big already and will be bigger when we get Nasri. We have four very promising young players (Razak, Assulin, Roman, Suarez) who are midfielders/attacking midfielders too, think if Mancini buys one more attacking player after Nasri it'll be a pure winger, ala Lennon, one type of player we'll be lacking when SWP and Weiss go as besides Johnson we'll really have none nor does our EDS have an outstanding winger.
 
too bad as it would have been something to link silva and mata again, but we could still go for one of the great shakhtar players
 
shit shit shit Chelsea r getting stronger with Lukaku and Mata :''(

Good it will make the premier far more interesting, nothing would be better for the Rags to be knocked down more than a peg or two.
 
Shit!
Well well, on the good side, now our Merlin will have a great friend not too far away. Last time I checked, London is closer to Manchester than Valencia.
I'm sure he'll be a huge hit at Chelsea.
