While I am not exactly a Wenger admirer, I must say that this situation is a bit ridiculous, even by his standards. Chelsea sold him for what they believe to be the most money, and fair value, which happened to be a rival. If Mata was so good that he would instantly change the entire title race, Chelsea would be playing him.

That said, while I don't think this was some scheme by Chelsea, this could come back to bite them in a couple years.
I think its a stupid deal for Chelsea. They dont need the money and Mata is an excellent player. United need a creative player in their central midfield and I think Mata is it.

This is a great deal for United and I think Mourinho is crazy.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
