3. Juan Mata – Chelsea 2011-
The list wouldn’t have been complete without the man himself and at the time of writing is still a Chelsea player, where most are sad to see him leave.
Voted as the club’s player of the season last term, it’s astounding that Jose Mourinho has been willing to sacrifice him, especially as he has been reliable when called upon.
He will no doubt be a major help into getting Manchester United back to a level they were accustomed to, leaving Blues fans to cry into their cereal.
