Shit source, i know. Some of the Everton Fans are disgusting... https://twitter.com/Sickmick123/status/636693911742885888

"Mate was in the services with Stones. He said: 'We know it's the board and not you'. He started crying and was pulled away by Naismith." .... "Just seen Stones in the services there, everyone asking him whats happened and hes started crying. Madness." I feel sorry for him, he was pressured by some people to hand in the transfer request....

That's a matter of taste. In my point of view the transfer request is enough, his intent is clear, now the board has to make the final call. Do as you would be done by; his contract is still valid and running til 2019!

In the future he is going to do the same thing at Chelsea when he wants out, eh? Stones has to behave, he wants the move, but he has to honor the contract, it's Evertons decision.

Contract expires 2019, Everton can do whatever they want. Stones should not have signed that contract, nobody forced him to do it, now he has to honor it. I understand Martinez, in his place i would do the same, Stones is an exceptional player for Everton. My hope is not gone, maybe they come to an agreement, there is still time. We will see....

Chelsea had problems, especially in the first half and without the ball, i agree. Chelsea tried to hold on to the ball, but they made to many mistakes and likes of Silva, Sterling, Aguero are dangerous on the counter-attack. The decision to cancel that goal from Ramires is a tough one, Hazard has to finish that chance, then 1:1. Nowadays, i don't know who is able to handle Kompany in the box, he is a fucking monster. He got the better of Ivanovic. I have never seen an opponent bullying him in such a physical way, scary! The game turned out badly, but that's easy to say after a loss. Therefore we don't need a Sherlock Holmes! What would you have done? Putting Zouma/Loftus-Cheek in midfield, benching Willian for his inefficient performances and playing the newbie Moses? Benching Ivanovic and playing Ramires instead? Doing a Rodgers and going to blow them away at their home? That worked out very well, i think, lol. Gerrard: "That game against Chelsea, with the slip, our tactical approach was probably inexperienced for the whole game - going out to try and blow Chelsea away." During the pre-season i was very frustrated with the lack of youth. I wanted to see Loftus-Cheek, Traore, Zouma all the time. Now every game counts, Mourinho doesn't trust Loftus-Cheek, according to him, he and the other prospects aren't yet ready. Big game against City, 1 down at half time, Mourinho makes a big decision: For the first time he substitutes Terry with Zouma. Mourinho:"John Terry did not have any injury it was just a decision. Zouma is the fastest defender in the squad. I knew that City would play counter-attack. That was right because he Zouma in total control. I have the right to make decision to sub John Terry because I am the man who has played him, sometimes I am proven right and sometimes I am wrong." That is trust! Mourinho: "You can show you are ready, you are mentally ready, you're physically ready, and you're ready to cope with the pressure. Ten minutes can say a lot." That is your admission ticket to be part of the squad, it doesn't mean that you are going to make it. He needs to meet the prospects in person, not watching some games in TV... Mourinho publicly criticized the medical team, he shouldn't have done that. One member of the medical department, Eva Carneiro took it personal and went straight to the social media to hit back at the criticism. That's not good! Neither of us have additional sources, so we need to shut up and let the club handle this. The media loves having a go at Chelsea, that's for sure! Mourinho creates such an atmosphere, we are a band of blood brothers. Ferguson did the same thing, always almost blaming the ref or other guys. Mourinho is a champion, he delivers the trophies. We knew exactly what kind of a guy we were getting in bed with, so stop complaining and whining now, or maybe you didn't want him from the beginning, sorry mate, i can't help you with this one! The saint Guardiola got his medical team fired and the other saint Ancelotti rotates less than Mourinho. The grass isn't always greener on the other side! Mourinho is allowed to have his own opinion! If he thinks we were better in the second half, well, everyone has the right to have his own opinion! What some specialists in TV have to say, shouldn't concern him too much! In the second half, Ramires or Hazard could have scored, wonder of the world for some people, i know. Chelsea tried to score, but City aren't there for the taking, they are a good opponent. Every father has his favorite child, that's natural! Who would you like to blame and bench? Maybe Ivanovic? I said it before, who is going to be your replacement? Zouma as fullback? That's ambitious.... I have to disagree with your accusation "declined technically". You have to enlighten that phrase for a constructive discussion. Willian has improved in the last months, yes, currently he isn't at his best, i know. The physical conditions aren't great! Mourinho and the board decided to extend the holidays, why? Because during the second half of last season some of our players were on their last legs. The guys aren't back in shape yet, yes, it's not an ideal situation, but they will hit back! This time i hope they will last longer, especially the likes of Oscar. But you have to keep calm, i am not sure all of us can do that! Ah you feel relieved, i see. May a congratulate you? Big achievement for you career as a mentalist! After two fucking games, you think you have seen all what the team can do? City played counter attack, Chelsea tried to make a good play, especially in the second half, but that is not good enough for you. Well, in life you can't get it all, except you get your coaching degree and apply for the job, maybe watching Arsenal play will get the job done too, but hey, what about the game against West Ham? Who are your favorites? Mourinho has already told you, the Eiffel Tower isn't yet for sale, it seems that a top prospect isn't available for a decent price. Do you believe that for example Alex Witsel for maybe 30 Mio. would improve this side for the next couple of years, or would it be smarter to wait and maybe next season we can go for the Eiffel Tower? I prefer to wait, but i see that self-control is not the easiest thing to do. Mourinho:For example, when we didn't buy a striker two years ago, and people were disappointed, we didn't buy one because we knew that Diego Costa was coming (a year later), and was coming for a price that didn't need discussion, a price that was established in his contract. "Sometimes you have to think more than the moment. That is why many times we don't discuss things publicly, we don't try and explain everything publicly. We work inside.

Please don't buy Reus for more than 30 Pounds. Injury prone, inconsistent and can't cope with pressure in most of the big games... Driving without licence and risking lifes seems very likeable, i see!

Harry Kane is such a great player. He has got it all!

Winning the league against Barcelona under Guardiola is a huge achievement! Beating Barcelona in their own backyard to the title, scoring the most goals in history, getting the most points....simply "La Liga de los Récords"! Real Madrid just won 2 league titles in the last seven years; Ancelotti couldn't get the job done, Pellegrini failed too.... Winning the domestic competition is for a lot of people the most important thing, it's the best benchmark how the team performs throughout the season! Moreover the progress in the Champions-League is huge, always getting to the semis, before that they crashed out in the round of sixteen, six times, that's unacceptable! Mourinho: 'I see your relations with media are quite good. I know we have to get along with them but I didn't think you were getting along that well,' before adding, 'I turn on my TV 4 hours before the game and what the f*** do I see? That the journo is giving away our squad. 'How could we ever surprise them if one of you is a rat!!! Yes, yes a rat! Somebody released the info about the starting XI before the game.' Mourinho was particularly aggrieved, it seems, at the outing of his plan to deploy centre-back Pepe in midfield to cope with the threat of Barca's Lionel Messi, as it eliminated the element of surprise. 'They knew everything about us. We trained all week. We wanted to surprise them.' Afterwards you have to take appropriate steps! Casillas is a prima donna, Ramos and others had a different work attitude, at that time Perez did't want to destroy the core of spanish players, therefore it was time to leave for Mourinho. But i can tell you that Perez would love to have Mourinho back sooner or later, because he is the only coach he fully respected! For Mourinho Ivanovic is the main right back, why is it so difficult to understand? He suits his style of play nicely, last season we won the double! Was he the main reason why it didn't work out in the Champions-League? I don't think so! Benching Ivanovic, buying Baba because of the better numbers isn't a certainty for success. I have a dream, maybe you should get a coaching degree and apply for the job? I would love to win the treble.. Mourinho wants to win everything, yeah, he can't cope with a defeat very well, but that's how passionate he is about winning. In 2013/2014 he won nothing, but a year later he won it with ease, he has stayed without trophies, paradox? The phrase "one of us" isn't made up out of thin air, he is always defending the club and trying to the remove the pressure from the team. Sometimes he puts pressure on some of the individuals to observe how they cope with pressure, if they want to bail out, they have to go! In the long run he has got a band of blood brothers, that's very difficult to beat for any team in the world! Maybe his last big defeats against Barcelona (5:0 and Dortmund 4:1) has made him more cautious, but otherwise he is still the same man. ONE OF US :blue scalf:

Great stuff from Bilbio, they teach these ******* a lesson.Good one!

Mourinho is going to win us the title!

Over the years a lot of transfers happened, sometimes you make mistakes, that's life! Back in the days, Fernando Torres was one of the best strikers in the world, scoring goals for fun against Chelsea, please be honest; did you see that failure coming? That goal against Barcelona and getting the corner kick against Bayern Munich, two wonderful moments with Fernando Torres, there are still positive things about him. But yes, he wasn't worth that kind of money. Easy to say at the end... Shevchenko was bad business, thats for sure, but the likes of Benayoun and so on, they weren't that expensive. In my point of view Mourinho/the board made one bad call with Kevin de Bruyne, probably in the future Cuadrado but the jury is still out, but that's it. The likes of Hazard, Matic, Fabregas, Courtois, Costa, Azpilicueta for that price, Willian since the arrival of Cuadrado, and so on were truly great reinforcements, at least that's my opinion. Yeah today i would welcome a midfielder, but if Oscar, Ramires and Loftus-Cheek can man up, the situation isn't that bad. I trust Jose with his assessment! "People were disappointed we didn't buy a striker and people were disappointed but we knew Diego Costa was coming. Sometimes you have to think more than the moment and this is why we don't try to explain everything publically because we work inside." It'll all be good!

'Chelsea supporters are worried about the transfer window. Since Mr Abramovich bought the club, Chelsea supporters cannot speak in a negative way about the transfer market. They can only praise the owner and praise the board. What he has done is absolutely amazing, it is a fantastic contribution. The club won titles.' Good one!

Mourinho is a football genius! Cech will make us 10-15 extra points...

I think some of you guys should apply for the job, because the decisions which we have to make seem pretty simple... Buy a new full-back, bench Ivanovic. Buy a new central defender and bench Cahill, or give Zouma more playing time. Cahill isn't up for the job anymore, we need fresh blood! Now it's Brane, last time i checked it was Azpilicueta, next time maybe Cahill? Ahh even better, Eden Hazard, why? Because he is "fat", unselfish and has become a money-grabbing piece of **** and doesn't love Chelsea anymore.... Football is a TEAM sport, but it's easier to find one scapegoat, i see. Buy a new right winger, because Willian isn't effective as someone like Reus. Ancelotti would have welcomed Ramires anytime at Real Madrid, but Ramires knows nothing, because there are a lot of football genius around here. We should ask our Daddy to buy as a new toy, maybe the Eiffel tower? The kids just wanna have fun.... Against Swansea, instead of Ramires, Zouma came in, but that wasn't the right call either, almost always moaning is the way to go! Then we should play like Brendan Rodgers did against Chelsea, try to dominate and play the high defensive line, Avb all over again. That time, we truly considered us invincible. Gerrard: "“That game against Chelsea, with the slip, our tactical approach was probably inexperienced for the whole game - going out to try and blow Chelsea away." I think that's the best strategy, do we have an agreement? In the modern era it's very difficult for some people to show respect. Like Mourinho said, everyone is now a football manager and knows best. Mourinho won the league, but it isn't an achievement anymore, because the competitors weren't up for it, doesn't count, simple as that. In the last couple of months i wasn't so happy either, i cried a lot for the Eiffel tower or some youth, but now the season has started we should get behind the team and the manager. Mourinho has shown more than once, that he is still one of the best coaches in the world, he instructs Ivanovic to play that way, sometimes he has to be more defensive, remember the game against Arsenal/Sanchez? He kept him quiet, till it was over! This isn't Fifa where you take only some numbers into consideration, you have to look at the whole package. We are the Champions, we are the team to beat, a tie against Swansea isn't the end of the world, we will bounce back! The approach against City will be different, a complete new game. But if you guys decide, Mourinho isn't trustworthy or has lost his touch, because a league title and poor results in pre-season are the worst, maybe it's time for Abracadabra to interfere...but that would be a very sad day for me....

Remember last season? CMS knows best!

Please don't go... Wish you all the best, liked your posts, sad day.

Terry is 17 years at the club, that is something you do not throw away easily! Stones has a lot of years in him, he is loved by the supporters and the club does not need the money. I can understand the toffees, it's gonna get expensive! I have only one wish, do not be to harsh, when he is going to make mistakes! You can't have it both ways! Stones still lacks experience! But is passing is so much better than Zoumas, lol.

Loftus-Cheek can not be worse than Ramires, not in this world!

This is a perfect game for the user psgsuckmydick", where is he when we need him most?! I expect a win, after the knockout we have to teach them a lesson!

Treble...pure gold!

Who do you prefer? I think that Mourinho is going to use Willian as a winger, than there is Cuadrado, who has only got 300 minutes. What about Moses, he wasn't that bad at Stoke^^, maybe he can step up his game and redeem himself. Furthermore he is homegrown and wanted by several clubs... Luke Shaw: 'That's a tough one but I'm going for Victor Moses, purely for his pace and power found it a very difficult test.' Salah, Traore and other hungry youngsters are waiting for their chance... If Pedro wants to come and would only cost around £17 mio., than it's difficult to decide. I would like to have a new midfielder, who can play instead of Fabregas or generally can heat up the competition with Oscar. In my point of view we need more stability in midfield, i can't get over the game against PSG or other Big Games. But maybe Mourinho thinks that Loftus-Cheek is up for the job, i don't know. I would welcome the Eiffel tower, but that seems rather unlikely. Ramires has to get in shape, but he isn't creative, is he?! We need to do our business step by step, our next target is John Stones, who would be a great addition to the squad. I don't want our defensive to play so deep, we need to explore the whole space. Now that's going too far, Mourinho knows best, the squad is good enough for all the competitions. If only Falcao gets back to his best, we could have a revival of the good old 4-4-2, absolutely deadly and wonderful. A few quality additions would be nice, but it isn't life-threatening...

Mourinho is doing a Ferguson, other Clubs spend more, Chelsea wins more, simple as that. Begovic and Falcao are already here, maybe Stones and Witsel will come, that isn't too bad. Yeah i wish we sign up the Eiffel tower, but that is just a wish...

Stones will do what is best for his family. He smart and knows that he is a fan favorite at Goodison Park and already earning good money. He is only 21 years old and his career is ahead of him, he doesn't have to rush making a decision... I think one of his goals is playing in the Euros 2016, therefore he needs to be a starter for a Premier-League Club, i don't know if Jose can guarantee him that. Same goes for Zouma, but John Terry's place is out of question in the Chelsea Team. One of the guys will fall by the wayside... I would love having John Stones at Chelsea, no harm meant!

“We were champions without Frank." Great interview, Mourinho is absolutely spot on. But i still believe that someone big is coming.
