I suppose I have to trust the judgement of Jose. Mata hasn't started as much as the previous 2 seasons, and I can't slate the teams Jose has picked recently. Something has to give and I'll be sad to see Mata go. I can't remember a player we've kept after he's said he wants to leave, which I assume Mata has, so cashing in is the only alternative if you don't want to keep someone who's unhappy. I would have loved him to stay and fight for his place for the rest of the season, but if he doesn't want to do that then the only option is the one that seems to be happening.
