Back to the thread title...

Juan Mata looks like hes going to be a Chelsea player after a fee of around 23 Million has been agreed

it feels like a bit of a desperate pot shot for Chelsea.

V

Oh dear

Errr M_Wood... sorry to break this to you fella. But Christian Poulsen is captain of Denmark, not Dagger.

Lmfao. Makes the rest of your above post quite ironic actually.

Stop embarrassing yourself you muppet.

On to Juan Mata.... this fella is a great little player.

Can play on the left wing but better just behind or off the fornt man, finding space in between opposition midfield and defence.

He is very good on the ball, very good at sliding through balls through to the front man, and decent goal scorer himself.

Similar type player to a Samir Nasri or a David Silva.

Unfortunately he doesn't really get a game for Spain, and was playing in the U21 tournament this summer when he is actually 23.

He has quite some way to go to become as good as Chris Gunter.

Oi Woody, no need to make a fool of yourself in two places. Stop messaging me with your innane drivvel.

Just pop it in here, and if I can be bothered to correct you again I will.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few examples of what I said above about Mata...



This fella has no doubt been bought to bring the best out of Torres.

I can see them being a deadly partnership in the years to come probably in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

It should have been us!

Mata is only going to Chelsea for ££££££ obviously, otherwise he would sign for Liverpool of course **rolls eyes** Oh and my sincerest of apologies for not following the Denmark National team, clearly I only have interest in my home nation.

Ive already told you 3 times, I dont want any meat from your Puma bag thanks. Big Kiss x

My final post of the night... if Nasri is still @ Arsenal by Wednesday it is going to be interesting to see if he plays, as if he does that would cup tie him out of the champions league for City if he were to move there.

I think it may be sorted out tomorrow.

M_wood give it a rest now mate, I've put you in your place, just accept it and move on.

Juan Mata is going to Chelsea because Arsenal couldn't/wouldn't cough up the money to pay for him last week.

Don't see where Liverpool come in to it to be honest.

Hes from Belarus.. :-/

They can play in the tournament if they were U21 when qualification started now, bit of a weird one that.

Belarus, Hungary same difference

Just wrote a FRICKING 1500 page post about Chelsea and our purcahses and sales since 03 and session elapsed!!!

I cba to re write it all basically

Flops ------ cost ------ sale price
Crespo --- £18m ----------- £0
Veron ----- £17m ----------- £0
Sheva ----- £30m ---------- £4m
Duff ------- £17m ----------- £4.5m
SWP ----- £22m ----------- £10m
Mutu ------- £17m ----------- £0 (so far)
Geremi ---- £7m ------------ £0
Parker ---- £11m ----------- £6m
Boulharouz £9m ----------- £4m
Del Horno - £9m ---------- £5m

£157m - sold for £33.5m

More cases of bad sales

Carvalho £27m - sold for £6.5m
Zhirkov £18m - sold for £4m
Torres £50m...

£202m without Torres for - £44m

At least Drogba, Anelka, Lampard, Cole, Essien, Malouda, Alex, Ivanovic, Cech have been worth their transfer fees.
________________________________________________

So my point was -

Even though Mata doesnt instill a great deal of confidence in me, that even if Messi joined Chelsea, it wouldnt make us play so creatively because to be able to be like Barca, its not just about Messi, not just about Xavi or Andre.. its the combination of all of them together.

So Mata being put in Chelsea may creates some sparks like when Robben was at the Bridge but I dont thin kit will be enough. Plus he isnt proven in the prem.

But my point is at least we will make money back off Mata IF he decides to join Chelsea.

He is a young good player, that could play for Barca, I feel he could replace Bushquets or Pedro BUT I feel Arsenal would suit him more.

Early days.

Yeah Mata was 21 at the time of qualification for the U21 tournie so was able to play.

Mata couldn't replace Busquets IMO. Both different players. Busquets is the Lucas Leiva type who will sit and protect the back 4. I personally feel that Mata will replace Malouda for Chelsea.

Good to get back to some sensible discussion though... lets see how long it lasts.

I think Anelka is going to get the chop completely .

Cech

Cole Ivanovic Terry Bosingwa

Mikel

Mata Lamps Essien Malouda

Torres

Thats ovbiously in 6months time when Essien is back.

Interesting to see if he will play DrogNando up front or have extra midfield player.

Sotis Kyrgiakos has gone to Wolfsburg.

Signs (to me anyway) that we will be in the market for another CB before the window closes.

I want Sebastian Coates. He looks amazing to me.

Commentators who call Nani - "Narnie" - Die.

Nice shout Nicko! Looks like 2good just embarrassed himself again with incorrectness haha oh the irony

Anyway looks like Player Power with Modric, and he will be on his way out, with Harry apprently already lining up some signings, obviously Diarra and Adebayor. But where would Modric play for Chelsea, and Mata for that Matter hmmmm! Same with Nasri if he goes to City, where do they fit them in...

As for Cue_Powers comment.. John Motson calls him Narnie lol.. and he also called the spanish midfielder Sharvi.... aka Xavi, maybe he just cant say it! My Mum has trouble saying Ian tho haha x

Well firstly you need to look up the definition of irony and stop using it out of context, then secondly you need to learn to read, because I have never mentioned Alex Hleb, it was Virt_Slayer.

So... looks like you just embarrassed yourself again with incorrectness haha oh the irony.

Fella time to be the big man and just accept your pitiful defeat, I'm bored of putting you in your place now.

Heard from quite a few places now Bellamy back to Liverpool... That doesn't fill me with confidence if I am honest plus rumours he wants 100k a week yet we're apparently trying to cut our wage budget so don't know what's happening there.


Also Coates to Liverpool looks very much on now with Kyrgiakos leaving and already looking for a centre back and it is thought his British descents will help him get a work permit, so hope that one happens from what I have heard he is a fantastic player.
