I am surprised at how many people are surprised with Mourinho's dislike for Mata. Mourinho doesn't like midfielders like that; instead, Mourinho prefers midfielders who fight hard and are successful on the defensive end, not just on the offensive end. Also, Lampard and Mata didn't play all that well together last year, and Mourinho loves Lampard and is known to be loyal to the players with whom he established connections in the past.

So, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Chelsea sold Mata. Now, do we need him? Nope, not at all. He is too similar of a player to the ones we already have in the squad. Also, he is most effective when the ball is played through him at all times and I just don't see him and Silva on the pitch at the same time, whatsoever. Buying Mata would be a complete waste of resources. Better invest in CB.

Mourinho's attraction to the past (and former glories) could be costly; he is building his side around Terry and Lampard (again) but I'm not sure either is up to a 50 game season - he may need a plan B by Christmas - he needs to remember 5 years have elapsed since he was last here. I wasn't particularly impressed by Chelsea last night - then again they can defend a corner!

I'm with you. Lampard as a holding midfielder is a big mistake. They got badly outplayed because of his lack of pace and defensive ability. It's magnified being partnered with Ramirez who is very athletic but not a true DM. IF they had a Javi Martinez or the like he'd be OK but I think they are gonna get found out. Not that any of this has anything to do with Mata. They just don't look nearly as effective without him. Oscar just isn't ready to take over the Mata role. He's much more effective in europe than he is in the PL.
 
If Mata is to be sold then it will be not to a club in the Premier League imho. Mourinho is playing a dangerous game considering he is a very popular player at the club.
