Well, well....it seems that finally the issue has to come to a head. With Mata getting subbed off EARLY in the second half, it looked like he had enough and maybe even Mourinho had enough also. It is only inevitable now, with Willian coming in and playing well that Mata seeks first team soccer and leaves Chelsea THIS MONTH.
Mourinho has come out and said that it hurts him to leave Mata out and he wants him to say and INSISTS, that he is not for sale. But let's be honest with ourselves here and be real. A player like Mata is really too good to be on the bench or getting subbed off so early. I am not necessarily a fan of his as I think Silva, Cazorla and Fabregas are all better than him, but he is still a first-team calibre player. Juan must have rued the day that Di Matteo left as he was at his most deadliest when the Italian was in charge. He combined well with Oscar and Hazard and was voted the player of the season.
That's all in the past now and the fact is Mourinho does not see him as CRUCIAL to his plans. Mata has to force a move if he can't be guaranteed as walking over that white line at the start and playing the MAJORITY of matches. Napoli may be calling and that is a team and a league that Mata would do VERY well in, as he would work well with Insigne.
