Dam just seen clips of Mata on SSN - I'm torn - he is good - oh well time will tell if Jose and the Board know what they are doing...

^{Selling Mata to United is probably the dumbest decision the board has ever done.}

I guess its time to add one more to your sig.

Even Jason Cundy has confirmed it...

BBC Sport (who are more credible) have confirmed that we've accepted a bid of around £37m and that Mata is having his medical tomorrow.

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

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Why galvanize Utd and bail them out from the mess their currently in? They couldn't create anything in 120 minutes apart from that last bit of play by Januzaj at the end.

Makes no sense whatsoever.

Please tell me how will we convince a top player to join us after this?

That green stuff which makes the world go round.

Bogeys.

[Blue Armour 4,436]

Haha tell me about it. This is for Mata... imagine if we end up selling Hazard?!?!

To tell the truth, Hazard has always hinted at an interest for playing in a club like Madrid...which isn't the case with Mata

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

All your questions are pretty easy to answer, one doesnt even need to think much...

Clubs that might go for Mata in the summer? PSG, Monaco, Real, Atletico, ManUtd, Inter, etc. PSG needs a CAM, Pastore and Lucas arent being able to get the job done and there are a lot of rumours about them leaving or being loaned out. Monaco might want Mata if they lose Falcao or they could even workout a trade + money deal if we were interested. Real fans (I have family in Madrid) want a CAM to replace Ozil and maybe Di Maria (which can leave RM) and he is Spanish. Atletico might have a lot of cash if they sell Costa, Koke or Turan and they actually do buy replacements for the players they lose. Inter has a new owner, new manager and no quality midfielders, they could be inclined to offer a cheeky 30mi bid. Etc.

About ManUtd, you said they are already overly desperate just with the fear of losing UCL. How do you think they will be if they DO actually miss the top 4? Yes, super desperate!

This excuse that we would only be able to sell Mata in the summer for 20mi is absolutely ridiculous. Although I agree we wouldnt be able to get the 37mi we have right now, we would easily be able to get 30mi or so.

And for Chelsea, losing 7mi in a better deal with a non-rival is better than to handle Mata to Manchester and Moyes...

Isn't Monaco in some financial problems or something of the sort ? Real don't need Mata they've got Isco. Atletico isn't a club that splashes out big money on players (unless they can make a profit). They are a selling club.

Does Inter have that kind of money ? PSG are the only real contenders and Mata isn't going to be the only CAM on the market.

And you think that if we had refused the offer for Mata Man united would have just quietly sat around and lose CL football ? Man united is spending big this transfer window. Whether it's Mata or someone else, it's happening.

I highly doubt we'd be able to get £30 million for Mata in the summer. Another 6 months of squad player, no world cup, clubs not as desperate to sign players, more players for sale in the summer.

£37 million is a good deal, not ideal because of selling to a rival but a good deal nonetheless.

dont see a reason why they cant "out score" teams.

but anyways... fuck those cunts... got what they deserved today...

That team would have the same problems we did last season, just is not good enough off the ball.

Put it this way, there's a reason Fergie trusted Valencia so much, the balance and protection he gave Rafeal was incredible, the "we will score 4 if you get 3" approach will get a couple off fancy scorelines, balance on and off the ball is what wins titles.

I really loved Mata, he was great last year. I have been so sad he has not been playing for Chelsea.

However I'm just thinking tonight, does Mata really care about us and our club anymore?

He is clearly not saying to Jose:-

, "...its January, theres so much of the season to go, i want to fight for my place, i love Chelsea and the fans, i am desperate to not leave Chelsea"

To go to Utd, a club in f**** decline, I can't believe he wants to go there. Makes me a bit sick

[manpe 10,861]

This means we have to stick with Mourinho now. Letting Mata go is a huge sacrifice from Mourinho's part, every other manager he played under rated him. Don't get sacked now Jose, this one's on you!
