How do you make an informal inquiry? Do you get a member of your staff to locate a smokey bar and sit down in a booth a few booths away from a Chelsea representative, then ask the man politely in the next booth if he could pass on the following message: "Is Mata available for a potential transfer? Pass it on.", then get a completely scewed and inaudible sentence in return?

i have seen some great blunders by this board like

after 2009-10 season we let go off deco, ballack, joe cole, belleti and carvalho but signed only rambo.

we bought FLOPPES for 50 million.

we let go off DD so that FLOPPES could be our no.1 striker.

we sold off sturridge.

but if we ACTUALLY buy willian and sell off/swap mata, then it would be taking stupidity and blunders to a whole new different level.

Even if this doesn't go through, i hope this doesn't further mess up the relation between mata and the club, which probably already took a hit earlier this summer.

Ironically, we all praised Jose for his mind games, causing unrest in manchester with one of their star players, and now...

Mata to United? HAHA. Just when I thought ive heared it all...

I tell you what, If the club ever sold mata in exchange for Rooney you can bet that Van Persie will add about 10 or 12 more goals on to his tally and that doesnt even include the ones Mata would score by himself alone. I think it would be a huge mistake. But this is all just nonsense at the moment

And what make you think Rooney won't get us 20-30 goals himself and create another dozen?

Remember, half this shit is being stirred up by the media...they're the ones causing unrest if anyone is.

Mourinho isn't stupid.

However he is packed in midfield, and light up front. I'm not holding my breath, but it would actually make sense. It would undoubtedly strengthen us though.

Oh dear.... stop it...

I hope to god Man Utd get Willian for 30 mill which would be the money for Rooney and then we keep Mata with Rooney. Come on Utd, bid for Willian.

Willian is class and maybe bigger and more a Jose player but i love Mata. He's the kind of player that even if he played for Man Utd (or even Arsenal) i'd love him still. I will be gutted beyond belief if Mata went there.

Having said that.... in Jose we trust.

Am surprised sme pple think chelsea may sell mata this season...I don't think so, I think there is more probability of mourinho getting sacked as chelsea manager than chelsea selling mata esp to manu.

Rooney+£20m for Mata and the probability is suddenly 100% but as unlikely as it is, it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE.

He's a proper player.

On a serious note, if you were to sell us Mata - we'd arguably have the two best players in the league. RvP and Mata.

It must be at least a bit tempting for Mata surely, to link with RvP. It probably ups his assist rate by 5-10 too.

Mourinho is the biggest 'star' Chelsea football club have ever had. He is one of the most marketable men in football history and he's not even a player!, Roman had to swallow his pride in order to bring him back. Things would have to go very wrong indeed for him to even think about it.

Yes, Juan Mata has been our 'stand out' acquisition.. in the worst era of Roman's reign. Minus an incredible european run, in which Mata was not instrumental. We are looking to seriously compete for the title and begin an era of dominance. If Mourinho sees Oscar as the superior option in that position, we have to back him.

Well, i think Mata won't leave anyway. He loves it here and loves London so much. He'll just say "Fuck you, i'm staying" and up his game like he did last season after about the 4th or 5th match.

Of course anyone would be tempted to play for Man Utd, the biggest team in England but not when you're already in love with another top English club.

If it means us getting our target and Chelsea being much better then you have to do what you've gotta do but i cannot for the life of me comprehend Mata at Man Utd. It cannot happen.
