We loved him while he was shite!!

I want that sentiment as my tagline when we win the Champions League in a few years. (This year)

Haha! We can't win either way: if Moyes fails, we'll be called deluded cnuts, and if he succeeds, they'll point to signings such as Mata for dragging us out of Moyesie's Jurassic football methods.
 
Time to stick Mata into the fantasy team. He will be great for us. A massive lift for everybody at the club. Now lets get that 4th spot.
 
De Gea asking him whether he was coming by helicopter or bicycle seeing as it was taking so long :lol:
 
He's broken his first Sir Alex's record.
 
Imagine what David Moyes must be thinking

"Ive gone from signing the likes Jermaine Beckford to Juan Bastard Mata"
 
Going by his interview he seems a really modest, and intelligent lad.
 
BBC says £37.1m

I wonder what Chelsea wanted the hundred grand for.
 
"People have spoken about how excited they are at seeing him link up with the likes of Wayne, Robin and Adnan…I want to build an exciting team. That’s always the way I’ve wanted my football to be played and I’ve not known it any other way. I want to win and give the supporters something to shout about because I’ve not done that often enough. What I will say is this is the first of many more to come in time. I’m looking forward to Juan being the start of it." - Moyes on MUTV

Moyes has already forgotten about Fellaini. :lol:
 
Where is your best position?

"Playing!"

"I played on the left, middle, and right. I had my best season on the right."
 
Havent scanned through all these pages, anyone posted the letter he wrote saying goodbye to the Chelsea fans?
 
Listening to that interview, it just hit me that he's our record signing. £37 million....

...and yet I'm not bothered about it. I'm not worried about him at all - I'd usually think "Oh, the pressure might get to him" etc. I was so excited for Berbatov and Rooney for example, but I was always skeptical whether they'd be able to handle the fee.

This guy is part of a Spain squad that has won countless trophies recently, and has won the CL with Chelsea in the not so distant past. This guy will be like duck to water with us.
 
"People have spoken about how excited they are at seeing him link up with the likes of Wayne, Robin and Adnan…I want to build an exciting team.''

Possibly the best thing Moyes has said so far.

Juan. -- Hi everyone, As you can imagine this is a very important day in my life, and with these lines I would like to express the memories and emotions that come to me as I write. This letter is written from my heart, and first of all I would like to say that I will never forget all the affection given to me by the Chelsea fans. From the very first day until the last. With your support and affection I have grown up as a player and I have had an amazing time both on and off the pitch. I will always feel the gratitude towards you. Always. No words are enough to give back all the things I have received. There has been plenty of good moments: the FA Cup, my first trophy as a Blue; the immense happiness of winning titles for the first time in the club's history, such as that magical Champions League night in Munich and the Europa League... On the other hand, I have experienced some complicated situations from a personal point of view, mainly during the last six months. Every message I got through the social media, every nice word you have said to me on the street, and of course, your support in the stadium, has made me feel incredibly proud of the Chelsea fans; you deserve a team like the one you've got, with so many fantastic players. I won't forget the faith you put in me when I was given the player of the year award the last two seasons. I feel really proud and I will never forget those nights. Thank you so much for the way you have treated me, you have been unbelievable. I hope you understand that after going through a complicated and, for me, new situation in the last few months, I believe this is the best choice in order to carry on with my football career and to keep enjoying this sport. Before last summer, my intention was to stay here for a long time; as long as the club wanted me to, and to keep winning trophies for Chelsea FC. This is how happy I was in the club and in the city. However, as you all know, things changed after the preseason. From feeling like an important player, I started to experience some difficult situations and I felt unable to help the team to the extent that I wanted and was used to. Obviously, I fully respect the circumstances. Football is a team sport and it's not easy to play regularly in such a good squad. In sports you may win or lose, but the most important thing is to give everything. I hope you know and feel that I have always done so. In every game, in every training session, without exception. I have always tried my best for the club. I would like to emphasise the affection, admiration and respect that I've had for my former team mates since the first day. I want to thank the captains for their help and understanding at all times. They made me feel comfortable when I arrived and they have supported me throughout the difficult times this season. I thank all my former team mates for these two and a half years and I wish them the best, personally and professionally, for the future. Of course I have been closer to some of them, but the most important thing is that my years in Chelsea have left me with great friends. Friends forever, football rivalries aside. I also want to highlight the day-to-day job of every member of the Chelsea staff: medical team, kit men, staff at Cobham and Stamford Bridge, media and marketing department, Chelsea TV team... All of them are very important in making this club a great one. Thank you for your treatment and your efforts to make the life of the players easier. Furthermore, thanks to every manager I have had the pleasure to work with during my time here. They have all been a big help for my progression as a player. I have always respected their decisions, whatever they were; they made me more mature and a stronger person. You learn from everything, and certain situations make you think about other team mates who are coping with similar situations more regularly. Thank you Andre for giving me the opportunity to join Chelsea FC. Without your support, none of this would have happened. To Robbie and Rafa, for their unlimited trust in me. And to Jose, for making me a stronger player, because in difficult moments, I have learnt to remain positive and to keep working hard. Lastly, I want to thank the Club, and in particular its owner, Roman Abramovich, for trusting me and making an important investment when signing me. Also for their understanding regarding my situation over the last months. I'm very glad to have been part of the squad that made his and our dream come true: winning the Champions League on that unforgettable night in Munich. Additionally, my years in Chelsea have been profitable for the club, which I'm very pleased about. I want to make clear that the stage that now comes to an end has been extremely important for me, personally and professionally. Although many of you, like myself, never thought this moment would come, this is football and a new chapter is about to begin. I would have liked to say good bye to all of you in the stadium, or in a press conference, but it has not been possible. I'm sure, i will be able to do it in the future, because is what you deserve. Evidently, today is a day of mixed feelings, remembering the past and looking forward to the future and what it has to bring. I look forward to being happy and to enjoy what I like the most: play football. I will never forget my time in Chelsea and the affection I take with me, I will keep forever. I wish you the best. A big hug to all of you. THANK YOU so much, Juan

I hope Mata puts his collar up, when playing. I really can see him as our modern Cantona, where every game flow of ours just goes through him.
 
I like seeing Moyes so excited, you can just see how happy he is with this deal. Can't wait for the Cardiff game now! I hope they announce his squad number soon as well.
 
I'm still in shock. Juan fecking Mata. This is going to take some getting used to. Credit to Moyes and Eddy. Top work.
 
Honestly lads, if someone said to you 18 months ago we'd be signing Robin Van Persie from Arsenal, Juan Mata from Chelsea what would you think?
 
Still cant believe we got him & now with the prospect of Rooney playin out his career at United - feckin great few days for the faithful. Well done Davy Moyes & Woodward..

I hold my breath, but maybe they could be turning things around from all the negativity surrounding us. Fair play lads anyways!
