I disagree.

LOL.

Shame that he's going to United and he's a classy guy who has been a fantastic ambassador for this club but at the end of the day it's purely and simply footballing reasons that have led to him leaving.

Mourinho's style of football really didn't suit him so we had to make a choice between the coach and the player, and thankfully we've gone with the coach.

Some of the stick, abuse, vitriol and downright pathetic comments from some members on this site towards the club, the board and even Jose are pretty embarrassing. The club will survive this and I think we have the coach, the system and the players to prosper. United have got themselves a great bloke but they're still in dire need of at least one midfielder....and a coach.

Thou shall not sell the zoro. He must have his own statue outside the bridge when he retires

Don't give fans a spot to piss on in remembrance of his shit performances.

Can't say this doesn't hurt

I'm torn between wishing him well because he's Mata! And hoping he isn't as influential because it's Man U

Sigh

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

I hope everyone who decide it's a good idea to send him to Fukin manure die painfully

I'm disgraced to be Chelsea fan today

All the things you said about all the possible clubs that could offer us a bid for Mata is untrue, but I am not going to make a thousand word post just to give detailed answers to each and every club that could target and afford Mata. We dont need all those clubs to be looking and bidding for him, we would only need ONE!

Stop with this bullshit of "who would want a squad player that didnt go to the World Cup", it is pathetic. Mata can regularly start on most top clubs in Europe, just because it didnt work out in Chelsea it doesnt mean he is all of a sudden useless. Rooney was a squad player last season, Gotze is a squad player for Bayern and Fabregas is a squad player for Barcelona! Does that mean they are not worth a ton of money just because they are currently not starting for their clubs? PLEASE!

The probability of one of those teams (that do indeed have the caliber to sign a 30mi player like Mata) is at least above 50%.

About the deal: 37mi pounds is excellent, the buyer is horrible and the timing couldnt have been worse. 1 pro and 2 cons. End of discussion!

EDIT: And even if we ended UP selling him for only 26-27mi for someone outside of England, it would be better than selling him to ManUtd in the current situation...

I am 100 % sure if fabregas/rooney come to Chelsea they will start right away

There are two reasons why I hate this transfer

1. Manu - no comment

2. Now we only have 4 am for 3 position,I don't think it is enough for half a season

Other than that I think this deal is great for everybody,

- we got 37 mill pounds which is a lot of money that we can invest in the summer.

- Manu got a very2 good player (for those who think otherwise need to watch mata closely last year, imo last year he was EPL player of the year) although I am not sure he is a MU type of player but maybe Moyes want to do something different and Kagawa probably will move back to Dortmund after this.

- Mata got to showcase his talent in WC year which I think is one of the main factor in his decision.

Absolutely shocked by all the things that have happened today... If at the beginning of the season a United fan came up to you and said "We're gonna buy Mata" i'd laugh and think, just cuz he destroys you guys every time he plays against you lot doesn't mean he'll join you guys.

And here we are today. Under the management of our so called saviour, Jose Mourinho. Who has managed to put Mata out of favour at the Bridge. Who has managed to deprive him of playing time. Then, he lies to us saying that Mata has a big role at the club and he wont sell him unless Mata says he wants to leave. All bullocks..... and now, Mata is on his way to Manchester United.

The sad thing is, I read through the thread and I see users of the forum who have their favourite player as Mata and yet, they celebrate as if his exit does not hurt them at all. There's a thing called loyalty you know... -.- But then again, I mean we are getting 37 million, right ?

Fuckin pricks...

I really hope that we will buy a striker or any good attacking player now...

And no, not salah.

Please!! Use the money wisely!!!

Sky sources: Manchester United have made a £40m move for Chelsea's Juan Mata

£40m. £16m profit of £24m Chelsea spents on Mata plus all his wages and bonus in 2,5 years. Isn't that makes Chelsea actually get Mata's services (including 2 corner kicks in European Finals) for £0?

Remember last summer Jose said United verbally agreed to sell us Rooney but broke their promise and changed their mind at the last minute? Is it possible he is doing the same thing to United? It would be a massive "karma is a bitch" moment.

Feels like yesterday when Juan scored his first goal at the Bridge vs. Norwich

[Mustafa 885]

I cant believe it's all over. I can't not imagine him being a Blue. Surreal.
