Great training for Tibo as he never played this before (penalty shoot out)

Solid line up

Great way to damage a business relationship.

Great player and would suit us, but we already have Ramires and RLC as box-to-box players, so I don't think this move is likely.

Jose - KDB did not want to battle for place http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11759746/.html

He's our third captain I think, behind JT and Ivanovic. So we'll see him with the armband in many cup games.

I actually have seen many indirect and some direct comments that shows his frustrations towards the board, and where he tried to explain that his role/power is limited, i.e many things are out of his power. - ''There's first he owner, then you have the board, and then comes the manager.'' - Jose example: Situation with Cech, he repeated many times that he wanted to sell him abroad but he had no power in this case. - Recent ''Eiffel tower'' comment, how he described it was like buying Pogba is totally impossible for us, while it's clear that many top clubs are chasing him. Indirect comment that we're smaller or can't spend? "I think everybody has an interest in Pogba. But there are things you can do and things you cannot do. I love the Eiffel Tower (Pogba) but I can’t have the Eiffel Tower in my garden. I can’t even have the Eiffel Tower of Las Vegas.(cheaper version, Witsel?)” - Mourinho on Stones situation: ‘That is the market. And you only pay it if you want. If you don’t want to pay it, don’t pay. It’s as simple as that. The market has no rules or limits from season to season. And not even the introduction of Financial Fair Play rules is able to control the market. The market is where it is and it’s up to the clubs to decide yes or no. For ourselves there are certain rules. Just a few examples, but I have seen these kind of comments very often. He speaks more often about Roman and the board than usual. He tries to hide it now, with comments like ''challenge to do it with no new players'' or ''we are champions, we don't need new players'' etc. etc But I think deep inside him, he doesn't like it all.

And we sold: KDB (20m), Mata (37m), Luiz (40-50m), Schurrle (for Cuad), Lukaku (28m), released big wages players in: Cole, Lampard and Torres to be able to buy those names you've mentioned. It was even published by Sky that we have the lowest net spend of the top 6/7 clubs since Jose's return. That's something we can be proud of, but how many Lukaku's, KDB's, Luiz's and Mata's do we have left?

Jose on Moses: ‘Victor is strong, he’s experienced and he knows the Premier League well,’ pointed out the manager turning his thoughts to the winger who impressed at Stoke last term. ‘He’s fast and aggressive. Okay, he has to learn how to play with us but I’m happy with his week and his 45 minutes. Let’s see what happens but Victor had an evolution in the last couple of years.’ http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/07/mourinho-post-nyrb-.html The "let's see what happens" sounds a little bit fishy. Might go out loan again or we might sell him.

I just hope we lose 2-3 more matches with even bigger numbers against PSG, Barca and Fiorentina. (4-1, 5-0, 3-1 would be fine) So the board might start to realize our squad is not good enough yet.

Exactly, I actually dislike it. Every time we need to sell before we buy. We just won the double and normally you want to improve the team to make a step in the next direction. But this ''One out first, then one in'' policy is really frustrating. We were really lucky last year to buy Remy on the deadline, otherwise we would've sticked with Torres for the season. I've noticed this happened most of the time. For the financial books and from a economical point of view this might be nice, as we don't take any financial risks to have a player too much on our books. But you will also miss out on great targets if you're just sitting and waiting for other clubs to come and bid for your weaker players.

But then he said this when asked being about a midfielder: (witsel?)‘If somebody speaks about other midfield players, it’s not true because I have Ramires, Matic, Fabregas, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek and Oscar. https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/07/mourinho--pre-new-york-red-bulls.html

Yeah played for him and was a true super sub in the 2011-2012 season, But Salah's agent has basically ruled out a move to Napoli, saying the Roma talks are ongoing.

Yeah that's why I don't understand why we suddenly recall Moses after 2 years. If we didn't recall him, we already had the free spot for Pedro or another good winger. But It's been suggested that Moses will be offered in a deal for Stones, since he played at Wigan for R.Martinez.. And it seems we are also waiting for a good offer for Cuadrado..
