He is a world class bench player needed to keep the bench warm for the first XI(mainly Oscar).

You saw When Oscar was subbed today? He went right up to Mata and said: "My seat warm little guy?", and Mata moved over to allow the true Chelsea no.10 a warm seat.

These things dont appear on the stat sheet, but a true football fan knows how important this is. You expect Oscar to sit on some cold, or even worse an artificially warmed, bench in Switzerland midweek after he has carved up Basel at St. Jakobs park? Blasphemy!

Mata knows he will have to be on his A game if he expects to keep this important role. Remember, De Bruyne obviously didnt take this role seriously, and now has to watch the matches from the stands

Atletico aren't good enough for Mata imo. De Bruyne is the type of player Atletico could get.

by Valkyrja Sun Nov 24, 2013 7:02 am

At the moment Atletico are the second best team in Spain scratch

by Onyx Sun Nov 24, 2013 7:14 am

They are, based on the table, however they're not really an established elite club yet. Looking back at recent years, it wouldn't be too surprising if Atletico finished third.

Unless you want to pair him with Costa and make Villa a depth option.

Id be surprised if Koke was still at Atleti come next season. Atleti are in such a large tax debt the only way they'd survive is if they sold one or two players. They will probably let go of Villa. Both Arda and Costa wanted to leave this summer but couldn't so I wouldn't be surprised if they left that would leave Atleti needing R/L-AM and possibly a striker

Mata to Atleti is not too far fetched and Simeone would really discipline him. Hope the move happens

As for Real Madrid........that ship sailed long ago. we don't need him and won't need him in the near future either with the way Jese is playing

I can see City buying him. Pelle has always played with inverted wingers which is why I was surprised when they bought Navas as that's opposite of Pellegrini's method of playing. Mata woul fit in perfectly in that team. Won't be long until Pelle has finished laliga-tised that team lmao

He could go to the Turkish League.....

If Atletico Madrid needsto sell , how come are they going after Mata who is pretty expensive?

more trophies then Real Madrid in the past what 4 years?
i guess they aren't a elite club either?
:facepalm:

Atleti don't seem to have the money for a straight buy, but the thing about it is, Chelsea has to get rid of a couple people and I'm not sure they want to sell. They're so packed in midfield, I think only a star like Mata could legitimately help them.

If they manage to get him, which I think they won't, I'd be a bit worried.

by Donuts Sun Nov 24, 2013 4:07 pm

but the rumor isn't to straight buy is it?
from what people say its a loan, why would people label Atletico as unable to capture Mata on a loan especially when Chelsea and Atletico already have a relation with Courtois

Are you a moron. Why on earth would be loan Mata? What could we possibly gain from that exactly?

He definitely needs to leave Chelsea though. He gains absolutely nothing warming the bench in his prime. I think Ancelotti & Perez will be interested. Imagine Mata feeding CR and Bale wow.

Ozil left because Ancelotti wanted 'balance' so there is no way we will get Mata.

Ozil would be starting now if he had any cojones. Stahp.

By the way Mou will never allow Mata to go to City, atleast not directly.

The same guy stopped Sahin and Ba joining Arsenal and we were not even considered as title contenders Laughing

To actually let him raise his own value, to not let him rot in the bench the whole year, to let him get gain time for the world cup

all of this is speculation, but of course we all know Chelsea they will just ruin another players career Smile

Trophies that weren't the CL or La Liga.

Europa > La Liga
Copa De Rey = Copa De Rey
UEFA super Copa > Spanish Spuer Copa

If Mata is smart, he'll come to Pool. Everything is set for him here to instantly become a superstar.

by Tomwin Lannister Sun Nov 24, 2013 6:35 pm

Steering this away from a Madrid Vs Madrid debate, i'll say i'd love to have Mata on loan, although not sure where we'd use him. Going to a 2 man midfield is not an option for us atm so it'd be a 4-3-1-2 (Not a fan at all) or some 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree. Which could be ok I guess.
