But selling to Utd? Eurgh

What the f**k are we doing? What the f**k is going on?

If mata cant fit in mourinhos system, draxler wont

Is it coincidence the day Mata to Chelsea comes to the fore, Rooney to Madrid rumour surfaces?

Utd are out, beaten by Swansea

Problem is you seem to revel in slagging the club off every chance you get. This is a dream scenario for you

No its not and he should look after himself, but hes loved by the Chelsea fans for his attitude and his personality just as much as his ability. Are we going to think the same of him when he runs towards the stretford end, arms aloft after scoring against us? This is why I think its bo**ox, i dont think he'd entertain the move. I may be being naive

Honestly, he'd lose my respect. You just dont go to a rival, especially how he's been and what he's said about Chelsea. It cheapens it

They are developing players. Mata is at his peak and will cost utd £40m. What if he gets injured playing for us and is out for a year. If he's sold to them he wont be loaned back

Mata shouldnt get off lightly either if he chooses to go to Utd

When has this ever happened in the history of football?

Still not believing this is true. How the f**k would a journo know he'd told his family he was leaving??

Well we know its a joke now. I'd rather have Bobby Charlton

First Man Utd press conference. Juan Mata "SInce I was a little boy, it has been my dream to enter the Europa League through the qualifying stages. Hopefully next season I will achieve this"

Why would we strengthen a rival?

Scores and assists. He doesnt fit Mourinhos system, but lets not pretend he's not one of the best number 10s in the world. He walks into every other team in the world bar a few. If we sell him to Utd it will comes back to haunt us badly

Surely a left back with Bertrand going on loan

Would you not rather have Oscar? I mean I love Lamps, but Oscar is the man for that position now

Realistically who else in the same position that was available could we have signed instead? I think the only other was Khedira and his season ending injury put an end to that. Mayber Bender but I think Matic is equally as good if not better. Great signing for the position

"I had other offers, but Mourinho is Mourinho."

'Nemanja, woah oh, Nemanja woah oh, he played for us before, but now he costs much more!'

Why don't we just list the clubs that DON'T want him, might be easier

The sexual tension in this thread is unbearable

Not Chelsea related, but this reminded me. Does anyone remember Stuart Pearce, then manager at Man City bringing on David James upront having strikers on the bench. Mental. Can you imagine Jose bringing on Schwarzer up front when were losing with Ba sat on the bench? (Please no 'he'd probably do a better hob replies' )
