The only positive I see is Utd having to play either Mata or Rooney out of position because of their formation and that'll just make one of them unhappy

No proof of a fee being accepted so if it hasn't, Chelsea can ask for more money because United will be desperate after getting knocked out of the league cup and hopefully that will put United off!

Maybe this is just Mourinho's mind games? To keep negoations going on til the last day to then pull the plug on the deal so Utd dont have time to sign anyone else? He did it with Arsenal when he pulled the plug on Ba's loan move

I genuinely don't see Salah going to Chelsea, I dont see how he would fit into the system with Hazard and Willian on the wings, I think he'd be way too small for the strikers spot as well, as for the LB spot, Azpilicueta can play LB as well and there's other options in the market as well, Coentrao, Montoya from Barcelona can play there so Shaw doesn't have to be the only signing. You think Lukaku won't be loaned out but the I guarantee you the Chelsea board will surprise you!

For now, Chelsea don't need a LB because Azpilicueta and Cole can play there and with Eto'o leaving in the summer and Lukaku probably being loaned out in the summer AGAIN I think the priority has to be a striker because Ba could move in the summer as well if he doesn't play enough.

I think the only signing I would accept after Mata's left has to be a striker, like a Diego Costa or Edin Dzeko type player

To be honest I can pick a few holes in BBC's article. 1. They know the exact fee when neither club has announced it on their websites or Twitters. 2. BBC say "The Spain international, who has won 32 caps, said goodbye to team-mates and staff at Chelsea's Cobham training ground on Wednesday." - There is no source of information for this. 3. Chelsea announced on Tuesday that Mata is NOT FOR SALE and I don't see why they would change that in a day?

I refuse to believe Mata has moved until I see it on Chelsea's website!

Utd need a LB, 2 CB's 2 CM's, LW, RW, Manager and some fries with that

BREAKING NEWS: Juan Mata arrested after being caught attempting a U-Turn on the M6

You guys think Chelsea can ask for a couple more million tomorrow morning?

Mata has just made his way back to London!

Wow all you guys arguing need to get a grip! At the end of the day no Chelsea fan wants to see Mata leave, especially to Utd... But at the end of the day he's going because that's where he'll play and it'll make him happy and as Chelsea fans, after everything he's given us, his happiness is our happiness even if he leaves!

If nothing develops by tomorrow you have to assume the deals not gonna happen....EVERYONE PRAY TONIGHT!!!!

Why can't Mou's press conference come any quicker!

I wouldn't trust any of these sources until its official from Chelsea and Manchester United.

But how do we know Mata will be a hit at Utd? What if he goes and does a Torres?

I've never been more anxious for Mou's press conference on Friday!

No I'm pretty sure Marin was supposed to be Chelsea's Messi....That went great....

No I think it was when they decided to send Lukaku out on loan and keep Torres!

Balague is a pretty good source to be honest, I hope this deal falls through like the Herrera deal in the summer for United.

Still can't believe that Mata's leaving Chelsea

What's the chances of Mourinho pulling the plug on transfer deadline day so Utd don't sign any midfielder?

Looks like Chelsea's chase for Kondogbia has come to an end... "Sevilla have confirmed that Arsenal target Geoffrey Kondogbia is to buy-out the remainder of his four-year contract, which has a £17.2m release clause. The midfielder is however widely expected to join Monaco instead of Arsenal. A Sevilla statement read: 'Geoffrey Kondogbia is already history at Sevilla FC. The French international has officially informed the club that he will unilaterally rescind his contract.'

I think Eto'o is the perfect short term option for Chelsea right now. Apparently he's going to be unveiled on Thursday according to Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo.
