At least Mata doesn't have to go through the media circus that built itself around Torres during his poor form. If Torres could make it out of all that negativity Mata will have no problem. By talking about it constantly in the media it only makes the situation worse imo.

In the end the most important thing is for the team to win, Mourinho has said many times before. It doesn't matter what your name is or how old or young you are, the only thing that matters is that you are the best player for that role in the team. If someone other than Mata playing secures three points then he should just work harder to become that guy that gets the three points easier.

If he goes to PSG he can play behind Cavani and Ibra and we can keep our Veratti/Motta/Matuidi. Pogba and Cabaye would be on the bench anyway.

This won't work, otherwise Blanc or Ancelotti would have tried Pastore as a 10. Ibrahimovic is a scoring machine and an amazing striker, but seriously he does whatever he wants on the field and he oftern finds himself playing alongside Verratti forcing Matuidi to play as the 9. Since he always wants the ball, it's almost impossible for Paris to play a 10 with Ibra.

I'm OK with Mata to replace Lavezzi tho

Well yeah that's what I was saying. To replace Lavezzi and to be "on average" behind Ibra and Cavani. Mata can easily work on a side and deliver crosses. PSG needs either this kind of profile or a crossing machine on the wing (Reus, Pedro, ..). The problem with Mata is he can't play in the CL for another team this season Buying him now would ensure that he doesn't go to another club, but I'm sure he wants to play some CL too so it's not going to be easy to make him leave Chelsea just to play French Ligue 1 :D

Well playing French Ligue 1 is better than playing rarely on Chelsea :3

I doubt very much Blanc will change his 4-3-3 for any player. Mata would play on the left instead of Lavezzi or in the midfield trio. Basically a (much) better Pastore.

Cabaye would be Motta's backup and I believe Pogba would be a starter over Verratti or Matuidi after some time. The most intersting is that all these players can score goals unlike our midfielders. But the most important thing is that we play with a three player midfield and we only have three quality players.

Fabianski over Viviano, wut? Hope Walcott has leaned to play lone striker.

Pretty good line-ups for both teams.

Will be great if OGS starts turning late goal losses into late goal wins.
