Mata ... Available ..... Really ?

[Lancet Fluke]

The only thing that's in it for Chelsea is a £20m+ profit on a player they don't want.

That assumes that they couldn't sell him elsewhere for a reasonable profit.

I don't think anyone else is stupid enough to pay £37m for him! I would seriously question those who make the decisions at our place if they spent that much money on him. He's a good little player, but compared to Silva, for example, I see no contest at all. I rate him as slightly better than Cazorla.

I agree nobody else will pay 37 but they could easily get 30 so the difference Chelsea are prepared to strengthen a rival for is 7 not 20.

All about opinions, but I can't see how Mata is worth £30m. A fringe player at best, clearly not rated by Mourinho, (not that he's the basis of valuations), and who has played some good games for Chelsea, though not a great by any means. Nasri is far better IMO, but would we be able to fetch £30m for him? I'd rate Mata between £15m and £20m. It's like Newcastle and Carroll. Only Liverpool and Dalglish in particular were crazy enough to spend what they spent on him, and in that position Newcastle must have thought all their Christmases had come at once, which is probably what Chelsea feel in getting £37m for a player they don't want.

So have they not bought him yet ?, thought it was done already.

something aint right with this one.

Are Chelsea using the rags to sniff out other bids?

In what way? Links only began on Wednesday. We've had plenty of transfers that have rumbled on and on.
I liked the helicopter thing yesterday though, that was funny as fuck.

We sure have, but its generally involved us trying to get a player others were after, or had a complicated agency rights structure etc.

He was in Manchester yesterday, that much is clear.He seems to want the move.

If there's no medical by end of day for them I'd see a spanner being another team coming into the mix.

Sky are saying he's due in manchester TODAY.

Sky know sweet f**k all. This the same Sky that said Tevez would not sign for City until the middle of the following week, while he was outside our stadium being given a heroes welcome and plastered all over our OS. It took them 4 hours to climb down that day and report the actual news.

I'd believe fbloke more than I'd believe Sky as a source. Actually..... ;-)

Flat battery on the helicopter and by the time they got to Halfords for some jump leads, they were shut. They're now looking at getting on a coach, so we can expect him at Chorlton Street sometime tonight.
