Jose stated he would rather have him stay, but in the circumstances given that he is in world cup year and needs more time on the field, to enable squad selection. I find it rather noble, and extremely considerate for him to sanction the deal. Jose has done the right thing for club and player, yet he gets no praise, and probably didn't want it from the media. We as Chelsea fans questioned his decision and many amongst us even frowned on the decision, hindsight is a wonderful thing and from the outcome and position we are in now, I ask does "The Special One" have it....I for one think so.
