lol - i can't believe this is still being discussed
Can't believe Chelsea would sell to that lot - but sure if he has choice he would choose them over us unfortunately.
Wenger might have left it late but could be that there are some good deals still to be done before window shuts.
SSN say that Chelsea are in advanced talks with Porto for Christian Atsu. I was sure that JM not fancying Mata was rubbish but if that's true, who knows.
I think that working with AVB and Soldado again could be attractive. It's not like we finished too far behind Chelsea recently so it's possibly 1 season without CL...
Now to convince Chelsea. Ha.
They do actually have a midfielder addiction, don't they? Somebody needs to stage an intervention!

AVB confirms Mata interest.

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas rules out signing Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata. Spurs did enquire about the possibility of signing Mata, but Villas-Boas concedes there is no chance that the Blues will offload one of their players to a rival club.
"First, Chelsea wouldn't sell to Tottenham in any way or form, as they think that we are title contenders," he said. "Mata is a great, great player - player of the season last season - very, very important player for Chelsea.
"They're just not going to strengthen another team that, in their opinion, are rivals for the title."
