sad news....

Handled improperly

He wasn't given much chance to prove himself but he was good v Hull and very poor against Sunderland in Capital One Cup.

Yes it is a shame but the fault lies with Emenalo not Mourinho.

This news is so negative

I think a loan could be a good call IF MATA IS SOLD in the summer. That way he could return as one of only FIVE wingers/attacking mids in the squad. A combination of improving on loan and having less competition next season could give him a proper/significant role in the squad next season.

Even though this season has been a disaster and he is not happy at all with Jose or the club, I wouldn't rule him out completely just yet, and can still see a future for him playing for Chelsea regularly.

I would prefer to see Mata than KDB playing for Chelsea next season!

So would I, Angelina.

But Mata would fetch a higher transfer fee and if KDB improves on loan then I will understand selling Mata instead.

I don't think you will be seeing either at Chelsea next season.

Well we'll need 5 options for the AM/winger position.

So if both are sold, that would mean bringing back Piazon as 5th choice (who's doing very well for Vitesse). A big step up for him but if the club have enough faith in him then I wouldn't be against it.

Chances are both Moses and Marin will be sold.

So sell Mata who was our best player for two consecutive seasons, sell De Bruyne who was one of the Bundesligas top player while on loan and bring in an unproven Piazon. Come on.

======================

Promoting youth RtM Piazon would still be a back-up player for us.

Mata and De Bruyne aren't exactly old are they?

We wouldn't sell them because of their age but if they try to force a move.

KDB's agent has already publicly stated he wants a transfer.

Can you blame him? Not getting a sniff.

I'm not blaming him. I think that is one thing Jose has handled poorly. Even saying to the media he would be getting more game time and then not really delivering.

Although there were reports that KDB trained poorly at the start of the season which would make his lack of inclusion partly his own fault.

We've had plenty of opportunities to play him. Plenty of opportunities start/bring him off the bench/start him on the bench. It just felt as if he had a target on his back since Jose got here.

I question the 'trained poorly' reports. Sounds like maybe one session has grown into months of poor training. Sure it may keep him out of one match but an entire half season

I did say in the 1st para I do believe Jose has handed it poorly.

How do you work that one out?

I love all the fans that suggest he should have played more but they never say who they would drop to play him.
If it was left to the Mata and KDB fans we'd never be playing Oscar or Hazard.
It's like fans moaning we never give youth a chance and then want Lamps too play every game.

You sure did. Doesn't mean I read it while typing out my comment on my phone. Got my head down

Says Jose will give him game time in January

Sounds good. Although we have heard that before.
