I don't see what else he has to prove. We look a more potent attacking threat with him in the starting XI. Azpilicueta is a great defender but he really should be battling for the right back spot with Ivanovic.

Superb comment. Schurrle so-called extra goals just isn't worth the effort considering: (1) We have more goal-scoring options this season. (2) His touch, passing, vision, link-up play and intelligence in possession is generally sub-par, especially when we play away from home.

Don't forget Zola had a better pre-season and start to the season than both Eidur and Jimmy if I remember. Ranieri didn't seem to have that much faith in him and he got benched for no apparent reason, other than Ranieri trying to build a rapport between Eidur and Jimmy. Remember fans protested to like they protested when Mata was getting benched. Don Franco Carried on and had arguably his best season for us in 2002.

Mata was at least, outwardly seemed like a nice guy, but the fact is that he's gone to United at the slightest hint of adversity. At the end of the day, he's just another talented player that played for Chelsea, a'la Robben, Crespo and so on. He's no Di Matteo or Desaily or Jimmy. And I won't even mention an unbelievable legend like Frank as there's no point. He should just have cut out all the love bullsh*t from day one if he never meant it.

First bit of adversity and he f**ks off to United. What happened to his alleged "love for the club" and "wanting to be like Frank and JT"? All sweet talk. Look at Zola. Initially got benched by Ranieri but kept his head down and fought for his place, all this at age 34. No need to even go that far. Look at Azpilicueta for example, we thought he was going to be a squad player, especially when Jose said he's made up his mind about Iva being first choice at RB. Proper professional. Fought for his place and has seemingly displaced Ashley Cole from the starting XI. Ashley, ffs. And people were already comparing Zola to Mata and calling him a legend at this club? Ridiculous. He's had like what? 1 goal and 2 assists all season but expects to waltz into the starting line-up when other players are outperforming him? Based off past achievements or what. Like Mourinho said "Story doesn't play football". Now at least we'll see some sanity restored to Chelsea blogs in general. People will finally learn to support the TEAM again and trust the manager instead of individual players.

f**king Judas. Good riddance.

Januzaj : 3 goals and 2 assists in 21 games.

Depends on what you mean by recover. If recover as in top 4, then Mata won't be enough. Moyes is still their manager and they still have a team of has-beens and slightly above average players. Plus attempting to fit all of Mata, Rooney and van Persie all into an XI will lead to an imbalanced team.

I dunno why people are so obsessed with Rooney. Would rather go for a younger, more prolific alternative like Costa . Don't like all the extra baggage Rooney comes with as well.

The Man U fan here trolling. That squad is ridiculously unbalanced. You'll get raped on the wings and add to the fact your defence is sh*t and old, teams will further destroy you on the counter. Mata is just glitter for an average, ageing squad. And Moyes will turn Mata into Leon Osman. Good luck in Europa, Juan!

We get rid of two attacking midfielders who are squad players for 55 million pounds. We buy one of the best CM's in Europe and a very promising winger for 31 million pounds. That improves the balance of the squad, improves, it's quality and we gain a profit. The squad right now is in a better state than it was on the 1st of January. So don't be down on yourselves with the Mata thing. He chose to leave us after the first sign of adversity and I guess all the "I love Chelsea" talk was lost in him. Onward and upwards really. We are now have a better, more balanced squad to challenge City. The only downside is that both Salah and Matic are cup-tied in the CL, but I'll be happy with a QF appearance anyway.

Mata is gone. Now hopefully the Mata fan boys can f**k off with him to United or get back to supporting the team instead of an individual.

This is what awaits you, Juan

Preferably Torres to leave.

hahhahaha
