It would be tantalising, but so would Ronaldo & Messi which is just as likely. Well, not just as likely, but still.
Well not that Chelsea didn't try to buy Rooney. Mata seems to be a surplus at Chelsea, can't see a reason why he won't come to us. Can't see why would he go to PSG to be honest. As for Chelsea selling him to us. It's rarely the club holding all the cards these days, if the player wants to go, usually he goes.
The real question is if we are in for him. Having in mind what's there on the market, I can't see a better option than Mata for creative midfielder. We may have Kagawa, Rooney and co capable of playing there, but given the current/last season form Mata would be an automatic starter.
I'll get gutted if he goes, regardless of who to or for how much.
I understand Jose might think Mata does not fit into his plan but he is a player good enough to adjust your system for.

I don't think that's gonna happen. That would be like handling another trophy to Man United.
Mata is too important in Chelsea's European challenge to just let him go like that.
Why to United? There are other teams in PL capable of challenging Chelsea for the title or top 4 spot, City to begin with. Chelsea are hardly going to be our only competitor and I'm sure that even without Mata they are going to have a go at it.
It's not going to happen.
Seems like it's Mata to PSG and Pastore to Arsenal. If this happens then this would have been the craziest deadline day I've ever witnessed to be honest. Quality players like that seldom move on the final day of the window.
What?
They just enquired about him. If the Mata deal goes through I can see it happening to be honest. Could be wrong though.
Why would Arsenal buy Ozil and Pastore?
Haven't a clue. I was just relaying what I was reading.
Every time I have watched Pastore, he has been utter shite.
Exactly. They can't sell to us for the exact same reason that we couldn't sell them Rooney.
But didn't Jose say this was old fashioned thinking, and that in Italy it happens all the time... Oh Jose !
Just Like Ozil to Madrid - dembele to spurs-and others we should have signed mata before he wnt to Chelsea. We miss out on these players and look on in envy and think what might have been.
Mata to utd- no chance.
Mata to utd- no chance.
Worth a bid though all the same...make them say they won't sell him to us rather than sitting around and wondering.
For what it's worth. A bit of obvious lazy journalism for a change I guess.

I think we all know how that conversation would go:
-Sell us Mata
-No, sell us Rooney
-No, sell us Mata
-No, sell us Rooney
etc.
-Sell us Mata
-No, sell us Rooney
-No, sell us Mata
-No, sell us Rooney
etc.
This must be why Woodward's returning from preseason early.
If we somehow manage to tie Rooney down to a new contract before January, then half of that conversation can come out at least.
I don't think we will mind... nor do I think Chelsea will sell Mata to any English club, if they decide to sell at all.

You do realise we can't sign every single decent player?
Looks like you can't sign ANY decent players.
RvP is well shit innit.
cnut not shit (or shit-cnut if you prefer).
Didn't Arsenal try - and fail - to sign Mata before he went to Chelsea?
Yeah, but he went to Chelsea for £24M and £150K a week - we signed Santi for £12M and £80K a week.
Where did you get his salary? When he went to Chelsea, he was signed on 50-60K pw.
Even the tea lady gets more than £50-60K a week at Chelsea.
Peterstorey in making up the salaries of players at other clubs shocker.
Peterstorey in talking absolute shit shocker.
Fwiw, I think Mata started on around 60K a week at Chelsea, which went up to 100K when he extended. Eden Hazard is the best paid player at Chelsea.
According to Google, Mata's salary for 2012 was 3M GBP ~ 57-58k pw.

Those wages were sourced from Football Manager you spanner. Who in their right mind would believe Ivanovic was on less than £30k?
For what it's worth, Chelsea do sign some of their players on less salaries. When Mata was at Valencia, he was at 10-15k pw. Now would you believe that?!
Most of the links state Mata's joining salary as 50-60K, and I would believe that instead of what Mr. Peterstorey would want to believe.
Jose must really hate Juan Mata. Not starting today.
Tricky one today, Tottenham fans are getting a bit up themselves with their early season unsustainable position, but Chelsea are clearly the bigger threat...
