3. Juan Mata (Chelsea)
Although no one can quite understand why Chelsea would sell Juan Mata, it seemed a distinct possibility towards the end of the transfer window. Jose Mourinho has hinted that the talented Spaniard may not be part of his plans this season, after playing him in only one game so far this season, as well as bringing in Willian and Andre Schurrle as players who can also play in his position. Mata will not want to be on the bench during a World Cup year, and was reportedly keen to join any one of interested parties in Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United or Atletico Madrid, as well as PSG who were linked with a late bid for the 25-year-old on deadline day. A bizarre situation indeed, and hopefully not one that will see one of the game’s top talents wasted at Stamford Bridge this season.
