Mata will not join us.
I'm not expecting him to leave Chelsea.
I certainly can't see him being sold to us as a rival.
I can't see Wenger stumping up the fee needed to sign him.
Mata told the media via tv that he is settled at Chelski and doesn't want to leave and Mourinho never goes back on his word.
Signings will be Viviano on loan, possibly Guilavogui, Cabayr and a young full back cover. Maybe also a striker like Torres.
Ah well at least we are winning our Classico at half time, let's hope we get a result!

Just being honest here but I think we have no chance with Juan Mata. He had a long season last year and a confederation cup call up which meant his season started late. People noted the half he played against Aston Villa he didn't look fit and Mourinho realised this. When Arsene claimed he thought Mata was on the market, Mourinho instantly denied this and told the media how important Mata is to Chelski. Mourinho is such an ego I can't see him going back on his words. Secondly tv confirmed the other day Mata was settled at Chelski and ready to fight to regain his place and had no interest in leaving. AVB also said he had interest in Mata and I suspect he approached Chelski and was told in no uncertain terms he is not for sale just as he told the media. Arsene even admitted clubs in England don't like selling to eachother especially rivals. I think it is more a wishful dream than anything likely to happen. Abramovich is also a Mata fan so I can't see him wanting to see him sold. Also Chelski would want a bid of at least £30-35 million for him as they certainly won't sell him for a loss considering his quality, I believe the stats are something like 92 goals/assists in 119 games? And as bad as it sounds, why would Mata want to come us? We have Spanish teammates but so do Chelski. We have CL football but so do Chelski and they have a much better chance of progression from the group stages looking at the groups as bad as it is to admit it. We wouldn't be able to offer a better contract and also I can't see why he would leave Chelski to us as they are going to compete on all fronts this season and with our current squad I can't see us doing that in all brutal honesty. Also we need to look at who he would displace right now in the team. Cazorla is obviously not going to be displaced and Mata cannot play CDM so that rules out Flamini or anyone else who plays there. Ramsey and Wilshere are both playing well and I can't see them being displaced. Rosicky and Walcott also appear to be in favour right now. So where would Mata fit in for first team football? I can't really see. So that is a no-go I think. let's be realistic, at best we will sign Cabaye, Guilovigiu (the Etienne DM), a cheap winger and back up CF. And I doubt 2/4 of those transfers will happen.
Not being negative, just being honest now. We have had an awful window.

Yes but he is not an option. Wenger tried to see if he was claiming he was on the market and quite frankly it backfired totally. The source which has reported he will hand in a transfer request is about as reliable as and the daily fail.
