I agree with you. And I would love if he could have a great season with Vitesse and thus he could be back with us or on loan next season in the Premier League team (which is also an interesting option as is happening with Nathan Aké). According to Whoscored, Lewis Baker's rating is 7.5 in the 9 games he has played with Vitesse in Eredivisie with 3 goals and 1 assist. Hopefully he can continue his evolution and he can be part of our team in the next years. IMO Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Nathan Ake, Solanke, Lewis Baker and Izzy must be part of our future.

IMO we have had very very bad luck with Kevin De Bruyne. We bet strongly in Oscar and we sold KDB and right now KDB is having a spectacular performance and Oscar seems like a joke / disaster / despair. I admit that seeing how KDB is playing we all have reason to be sad for having sold him but it is also true that Oscar two years ago seemed to be a better promise as a player for our future than KDB. And football is football, sometimes you lose, sometimes you win. But we should not be lamenting all the day for selling KDB and we should start thinking about signing players with similar characteristics in the market because there are players that could be interesting for us. Players like Koke, Isco, Ruben Neves, Andre Gomes, Thiago Alcantara, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva ... They might become interesting to our midfield and they may have similar characteristics to KDB. IMO we should bet heavily on Ruben Loftus-Cheek (I know RLC is different than KDB) as our franchise player. Ruben Loftus-Cheek may become a bigger player than KDB if we bet strongly onhim. Jose should be smart and not let it repeat what happened with KDB. And maybe we should rethink our strategy with Oscar because he is 24 and perhaps he should go on loan to a team like Juventus (Allegri wants him) because it could be good for his future and also for our future.KDB is good, but now is our opponent and we have to look forward and forget the past.

By the way, Qatar Airways was very close to close a new agreement with F.C. Barcelona to sponsor F.C. Barcelona for the next season by more than 70 million euros each season. But it seems that this agreement is fully broken and Qatar Airways will not sponsor F.C. Barcelona and Barcelona will have a major economic problem because of this. According to reports, the economic situation of FC Barcelona is not very good right now. If they begin to have serious economic problems maybe Messi could start to have doubts about their project. Although, again, sign Messi is very very complicated. By the way (2), it's a shame that a club like FC Barcelona is sponsored by Qatar and, at the same time, they have "UNICEF" on his back. You can not be Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde at the same time.

I do not want to get my hopes again with Messi and the chance to sign him mainly because Messi is a player very close to FC Barcelona and he feels like at home in Barcelona being able to become the best player in history as "one-club man" with Barcelona. IMO his signing is very very difficult. But it's true that Messi is now in a difficult situation in Spain due to their problems with the Spanish tax services and the Spanish justice. What is happening is this. 1. The Spanish justice has accused Messi for not paying a lot of money in taxes. 2. Messi has accepted that accusation and he has paid a lot of money as a financial sanction. 3. But, despite paying a lot of money to avoid further sanctions, Messi continues to be accused by the Spanish justice for tax evasion. Even the Spanish Justice accuses his father and Messi himself with accusations that ask for less than two years in jail for both (but in Spain with less than two years of imprisonment the accused is not going to jail if he did not have a criminal record, as in the case of Messi). That is, Messi may need to pay more economic sanctions for tax evasion but he will never go to jail. 4. Right now in Spain there is the problem / discussion about the independence of Catalonia and, according to the Catalan nationalists, Messi may be being used as a bait / scapegoat to discredit a hypothetical process of independence of Catalonia. 5. Because of all this, and according to reports from Catalonia, Messi feels persecuted by the Spanish justice and he might be getting tired of what he calls "unjustified persecution" because he believes that his case is being used as a scapegoat by the Spanish nationalists and Catalan nationalists. In fact, some reports from Catalonia and Madrid were saying in recent weeks that Messi might be thinking to leave Barcelona if the situation remains the same. Even last week (when the Spanish justice back to Messi accused of tax evasion) Messi showed his anger at the social networks against this situation. I do not want to argue about the independence of Catalonia because it is a very complex issue and the English language is not my native language and to me it is very difficult to explain myself in English on an issue (the independence of Catalonia) which is very complex. But to be honest in in Spain the payment of taxes has been a joke for many years for the millionaires and economic crisis that the Spanish people we are suffering it is because in Spain has been like a "tax haven" for some millionaires who have stolen everything they wanted without the Spanish justice did nothing. That is why sometimes it seems a bit exaggerated how the Spanish justice is chasing Messi and they did not persecute other tax evaders. And much more when Messi has paid many millions in sanctions to avoid a longer sentence. I wish that Spain might change in the coming years and Spain begin to persecute the tax evaders strongly, but sometimes it seems that Messi is being used as a "scapegoat" by the Spanish nationalists and the Catalonian nationalists. In fact, players like Casillas and Xabi Alonso have had problems with Spanish tax services but the noise around them was lower than Messi. Obviously I'm not defending Messi or saying that he is completely innocent because Messi has admitted that he has made tax evasion and paid a lot of money as his corresponding sanction. Messi is guilty of tax evasion but some things are very rare and much more with the discussion of the independence of Catalonia. Maybe Messi might feel uncomfortable in Catalonia and he could think of finding a way out to another team to avoid all the media pressure around him. And if he decides to leave Barcelona Messi Chelsea I would be one of the first teams to which he would think because Fabregas (which is one of their best friend and their wives are always very close) and Pedro would help him integrate quickly in our club, we have Jose Mourinho (which is a challenge for any player) and Chelsea is a fully consolidated project. I think it's very very difficult to sign him, but if Messi we decided to leave Barcelona IMO would be in the "pole position". Finally, I want to make it absolutely clear that I do not want to do cheap demagoguery or make "cheap philosophy" about Messi - Spanish services tax - the independence of Catalonia because it is a very serious issue. I'm also not saying that Messi is completely innocent, because it is not true. What I am saying is that right now in Spain, with the discussion about the independence of Catalonia, the nationalist politicians (Spanish as well as Catalans) are using anything for their own interests. And the majority of the people in Spain (in Madrid, Catalonia, Andalusia, Valencia, Euskadi, Mallorca ...) what we want It's a strong change in our country and those persons who do not pay their taxes begin to be pursued by the law to create a better society in Spain.

RUBEN NEVES | Porto | Goals, Skills, Assists | 2015/2016 (HD) A video made last week ... Ruben Neves vs Chelsea (H) 15-16

I understand it is difficult to see how Kevin De Bruyne is playing with Manchester City when he was in our squad, but I think sometimes some criticism against Jose are disproportionate seeing some things that Jose has gotten for us concerning our policy on signings. It is true that Jose has made a mistake in some signing / selling like Kevin De Bruyne or Mata (although Mata is not being A TOP TOP player with United being really honest). But Jose has also had successes in our policy of signings with players like Kurt Zouma, who will be one of the best Centre-backs in the world for the next decade and was signed by Jose when he was a child. Zouma is a success. Jose also recovered Matic (with the money received in exchange for Mata) and he is now one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. Matic is another success. Courtois Come back with us last season and Jose opted for him instead of Peter Cech because Courtois is the future. If Jose just wanted to bet on "the old school" He could have sold Courtois to Real Madrid or Barcelona for 50 million and Peter Cech would be our goalkeeper. But Jose opted for Courtois thinking about the future. Courtois is also a success.Eden Hazard was the best player in the Premier League last season and he has improved a lot thanks to Jose, and although now he is going through a bad time in his performance, but Jose has helped him to become a better player, and I am sure that thanks the "mind games" Eden Hazard will be best player at the end of the season. Jose Mourinho has helped to make him a better player. Hazard is also a success. William was signed in the last minute of the transfer market thanks to a call from Jose and he is now one of the the best offensive midfielders. Willian is also a success. Azpilicueta has become one of the best defenders in the world under the direction of Jose and has made him one of our most important players. Azpilicueta is another success. I understand and realize that now everything seems sucks because our season is being a horrible nightmare, but our present can not cover our past and what Jose is doing with us. I respect all opinions, but I also think that some criticisms sometimes are disproportionate. And I hope that we can continue to have a similar performance like in the last week and gradually we can recover our actual performance. Regards to ALL.

Eden Hazard vs Dynamo Kyiv (Away) UCL 20/10/2015 HD Enjoy our TOP Belgian player... and forget the citizen.

I trust Jose Together we are stronger

IMO Hazard would be very wrong if he thought that all his problems this season are due to Jose. To me Eden has to play every game because he is our best player and one of the best players in the world among the mortals (no Messi or Ronaldo) but he has to make self-criticism and assume that his performance is not being good. This year Eden should take the final step to become in one of the greatest players in the world as a consolidated player, not as a mere promise. And maybe that scares him and he is blocked since the beginning of the season. I think what is happening with Eden Hazard is not the same as Juan Mata and KDB. Mainly because Eden Hazard is one of the best in the world and Jose will not throw stones at his own roof. With Real Madrid Jose had problems with Cristiano Ronaldo, a very big problems, but Jose is not stupid and Cristiano Ronaldo continued playing in the starting eleven with Real Madrid But Cristiano Ronaldo was punished by Jose in a couple of games as has happened with Hazard. IMO is just a warning to motivate Eden. Eden Hazard is a young player and he has to take advantage of this warning and play every game as if it were the last and "close the mouth" of Jose. And Jose is a great motivator and he knows what he is doing. I am quite sure that in the next games Eden will be in our starting eleven and gradually we will come back to restore normalcy with Eden as our main player.

Not always the champion team in the Champions League does a good season from August to May. Last season Barcelona and Luis Enrique made their first six months of the season with a poor performance and bad results, and even Luis Enrique came close to be sacked in January. But in the last five months of the season Barcelona managed to trace their season and they won the treble and everyone in Barcelona were asking to Luis Enrique to continue being their manager. Maybe at the end of the season we have won something important and some people regret having criticized Jose. I love hearing about Guardiola. I hate this guy and I don't want to see Guardiola with us the next season, he was great in Barcelona because Barcelona had Messi and some players like Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Pique ... which between 2008 and 2012 won the World Cup and two European Championships with Spain. In Germany Guardiola is a great coach because he has the best players in the Bundesliga, most of them being the backbone of Low's Germany. But two years ago Guardiola against Real Madrid lost 5-0 in the semifinals. And the following year Barcelona crush Bayern in the semifinals again. And this year Guardiola has lost to Arsenal. And even Manchester City won last season against Guardiola. Guardiola has the best image consultants of the story because everything in he seems wonderful, but seeing the actual results with Bayern Munich the truth is that Guardiola has lost in the last three years with Real Madrid (twice), Barcelona, Manchester City, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg. Not everything is wonderful in the Guardiola's paradise.But we have Jose Mourinho, IMO the best coach in the world, which is going through a bad time right now, but a manager who loves this club, who understands our philosophy (we won Champions League with Roberto Di Matteo placing the bus and playing in counterattack's style in a wonderful season) and a coach (Jose) which has the potential to win Champions League at the end of the season and I'm sure if we win Champions with Jose he will want to stay with us to build a dynasty like Ferguson with Manchester United. I do not want to see Guardiola with us the next season and I do not want that Jose could come to feel that he is not at home because that's not true. Jose is the best manager in our history and he deserves our trust. IMO yesterday we played a great game as a solid team, as we have done last season, and that's the right way. Together we are stronger.

And now Jose Mourinho is a violent / aggressive person ... boring, boring, boring! Some people should begin to respect the privacy of each person, even famous people, and stop living like idiots looking to make selfies 24 hours a day and start to enjoy their own lives. Postscript. With this post I'm not trying to insult anyone in this forum, I just want to clarify that I'm tired of seeing how the journalists are attacking Jose all day, every day.

Classic technical quality of the Brazilian players + perfect adaptation to the European rhythm + Jose's discipline = Willian

IMO our best performance of the season. Today we played as a solid team, strong in defense and all our players with a great competitive mentality. Very proud of us. And maybe we deserved to win, but football is football and the good news is that today we have had a similar performance as "Chelsea 2014-2015". This is the right path. Ramires and Matic were perfect. And Zouma is not right-back, but he's better than Ivanovic if Jose wants a right-back with more height than Baba. Perhaps the only thing wrong was the null connection between our midfield and Diego. But it is also good to see that Fabregas can be on the bench.... In Europe these matches are always difficult and now a draw is not a bad result, and more seeing that the feelings on the pitch have been different. Again, This is the right attitude, this is the right path. GO BLUES!

IMO us are having a proper performance, playing as a solid and without allowing Dinamo team reach our box. But our big problem is still the connection between our midfield. and Diego Costa. Perhaps we could play better but right now the most important thing is to cut the bleeding and accumulate more wins. I wish a quick goal to play more comfortable.

Alcacer (22 years) is a fantastic player, a pure No.9, a classic number nine perfect to score goals to the first touch, and also with ability to move with intelligence near the box. As a person Alcacer is a humble player. He's not the typical rock star or something, it's a perfect player to create good atmosphere in the dressing room. The big question is if he is ready to make the jump to a team like Chelsea. I think he would be an interesting option, but 56 million pounds (76 million euros) is a price too high. But I think we could negotiate with Valencia and the final price could be lower. With Diego Costa - Alcacer - Remy we would have fully covered the forward position. Also Vincent Aboubakar (Porto - 23 years) would be a good choice ...

There is nothing in this world that want more than see Ruben Loftus-Cheek in our starting eleven on Tuesday. Seriously, this guy has a supernatural talent, able to be the best midfielder in the world. Please Jose, forget about your approaches and bet stronger in Ruben Loftus-Cheek to lead our midfield. PLEASE!

Ruben Loftus-Cheek vs Aston Villa (Home) 17/10/2015 HD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmhdPFdR0bY IMO Ruben Loftus-Cheek was having a good performance yesterday. I don't understand why Jose sent him to the bench. For me His best position is as pure midfielder, not N.10, but he needs to accumulate minutes in our first team and maybe N.10 position is best for him to acquire more experience. If I'm honest I would not change Paul Pogba instead of Ruben Loftus-Cheek under any circumstances. RLC is an extraordinary player and he can become one of the best players in the world in a short time. Hopefully Jose decided to bet heavily on him because RLC is ready. In fact, he should be in our starting eleven from now until the end of the season. I Do not see any reason to do not bet on him.

I do not expect to see Jose assuming risks because it is a very dangerous game. We need to win yes or yes. That's why I think Jose will play with the "old school", I think even Zouma could play as right-back and Azpi as left-back. With Ramires - Matic - Fabregas in midfield and Willian - Diego Costa - Hazard in attack. I would love to see Ruben Loftus-Cheek in our midfield, but knowing Jose I think is impossible. The most important thing is to win another game more. IMO we need to win the next 10 games in any way to cut the bleeding. But see Ruben Loftus-Cheek would be lovely. Begovic Cahill John Terry © Zouma Azpilicueta Ramires Matic Fabregas Willian Hazard Diego Costa

I agree with a lot of your comments. But for me what Jose is doing with Hazard is to give him a warning to wake him. In fact, last week the own Eden Hazard said he was "in the worst period of his career." He needs someone (Jose) to tell him the truth and make him recover his best level. To me Eden Hazard will not be the same case as Mata or KDB. Eden is the cornerstone of our project and Jose is only trying to motivate him. I bet that Eden will be in our starting eleven next Tuesday against Dynamo Kiev. I hope so.

I respect your opinion, but for me to attack well we need to defend well. A good offense starts with a good defense. Yesterday we made our first goal thanks to Willian when he made a good pressure and he recovered a dangerous ball near the opponent's box. That's what Jose is trying to do with Eden. And players like Messi, Ronaldo and Drogba they made it before, and that's what Eden has to do.

What Jose is doing is giving a warning to try to encourage Hazard. And that's it. Eden has done nothing in the entire season and we need to wake up him or our chances of winning something along of the season will be very small. For me Jose is taking the right path. Hazard has to understand that he can be one of the best players in the world if he regains his performance of the last season
