The DNA of Arsenal, Van Persie goes to Manchester United.
The darling of Liverpool, Torres goes to Chelsea.
The hero of Tottenham, Campbell goes to Arsenal.
The Invincible of Arsenal, Cole goes to Chelsea.
These inter England moves hurt the most, as no one blinks about mugging off a foreign club of a prized asset. As a fan of the seller you feel the loss personally.
Suarez to Arsenal might have finished off the Kop forever and now we have the possibility of Chelsea's most creative force since Zola being moved on.
But what this is really about is Mourinho sacrificing style over power.
To think that if he had managed Chelsea for 40 years there would have been no room at the inn for Hudson, Cooke, Nevin or Zola.
This is not about FFP or United, this is about Jose Mourinho!
A DEFINING MOMENT IN CHELSEA HISTORY

The people who say Jose plays boring football, how much of him have you actually watched apart from the big matches?
Because you lot sound completely clueless, his first spell at Chelsea in his first 2 seasons we were playing some amazing stuff with Robben and Duff on the wing. At real madrid he probably built one of the fastest and clinical counter attacking sides I have seen so far, again some great football.
Some think playing tiki-taka short triangle passes is the only way to play for it to be good football, which is boll.ocks.
Mata has been a good player for our transition, well done to him. But we have Hazard, who looks like will become one of the best, and Oscar, who again at a young age is showing great maturity and form. These players not only can provide the good football and high skill level, but they're very athletic meaning they're able to do the dirty work. Mata is great in a free role, that's it imo, and he will not be getting a free role here or for Spain.

Its's agreed then.
The sooner Roman accepts that Josay is taking the identity of the club away the better.
Stylish, Kings Road Chelsea will be the chosen path.
Creative managers welcome!

What makes me laugh is that peopleon here use Mata to beat Mourinho with the "he hates creative players" stick whilst totally ignoring the added responsibility and freedom he has given Hazard this season....
Now which one of you clever clogs is going to tell me watching Hazard is boring?

I have watched a few Arsenal games this season and there is no way they are any better to watch than us, watched them play Everton, Fulham, Chelsea and Southampton...

Don't be worried about "them".
You are an individual, it's your club, not Mourinho's CV.
Save yourself, save the Kings Road.
Repent!
