That article only talks about losses but we are missing one very important point. Wages. Wages should be less than 70% of the turnover. Article did touch about that point that contract signed before so and so date will be excluded but it didn't mention any numbers.
I for one haven't followed any of the Chelsea numbers, so any rough figures on what's the %.
I don't think any other team would offer over ?30m with Mata in his current situation you could argue he's not even worth that. So United's deal if true, is a very generous price considering everything.

Mata was not training with Chelsea today as per Daily mail. They had pictures too.

I thought Chelsea had a 2 day mini break from training and all that. Not even sure when the pics were taken but for what it is worth..

Confirms my initial assertion that much of the losses was due to spending on infrastructure and youth
Half a average season won't diminish Mata's value so much ... Everyone knows Mata is only 25 and a world-class talent. Going by your logic, no top player will join United after their dismal season so far
Good point although Mata's wages are not exactly high. I think we can easily cover that by the expected departures of Lampard and Cole in the summer
.
The difference is, I have sources for Mata's character which you can then argue are diminished by his recent run on the bench. You have, at most, a single moment of frustration and a whole lot more conjecture which flies in the face of any of the facts so far. At the absolute best, we break even so trying to include the player's motivations into the equation is a bit silly really.

What does my post have anything to do with logic about playing joining a club? Wtf, you're on some good stuff? Mushrooms?
Wasnt the greatest analogy admittedly ... But get real, there are a few clubs who would match United's offer for Mata without blinking an eye. United are not the only ones who know what a great player Mata is

Which part is conjecture exactly?
He wants to play and he wants to go to the World Cup - we can pretty much take it as a fact, unless you have some proof that he's a cyborg.
If big club like United comes knocking and guarantees him place in the 1st eleven, its not much of a stretch to assume he may jump at the opportunity rather then sit on bench and hope Mourinho 'maybe but probably not' will see the light.
Edit: Some Chelsea fans are saying on twitter that he was in training, shown on ChelseaTV. Dunno what's true anymore though.
All I can think of is PSG but they have wealth of attacking talent, City - Chelsea will never sell and they have Silva, Nasri, Navas.
Madrid could have signed him any time they wanted but they didn't when he was at Valencia. Rumor was that Jose didn't rate him, so that might change but they have Ronaldo, Di Maria, Isco, Bale as attackers.
So not sure which teams are ready to match 40 Million offer.
The part where you have no evidence and where your point of him forcing his way out contradicts the evidence that we actually do have.
He has stated multiple times that he is happy to work for his place and try to become a better player. He has played over a 1000 minutes of football this season so it's not like he's in the KDB situation either.
Oh I don't think that he would be adverse to going to United (even if you are a mid table club) but the point is that we are basing that purely off of conjecture.
Tyton is a liverpool fan if I am not wrong ...
Anyways as exciting as this rumour is, I think we can file it under the 'highly unlikely' section. Chelsea have absolutely no incentive to sell in January but this is something that would generate a lot of noise in the summer I assume

He hasn't proven himself good enough to be first team yet, only has himself to blame in that aspect. Hopefully he will improve with a more intricate player like Mata as oppose to someone like Valencia in the side. You could see when we beat Leverkusen away that Kagawa and Nani were linking very well together, and against Swansea at home Shinji linked well with Januzaj second half.If/when Mata arrives, shed a tear for Shinji Kagawa, would you?
Near enough every reporter seems to be reporting it, putting it under the 'highly unlikely' would be strange because a) what I just said b) Chelsea have let all this gather and haven't denied anything.
