I love this player.

José Mourinho 'tired of Real Madrid' and could return to England José Mourinho is to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season in order to take up a new job in the Premier League, it has been reported. Speculation over Mourinho's future in Spain has increased in recent weeks following a series of public rows, amid suggestions that he is being undermined from within the club despite their impressive form. Real's 3-1 win over Real Zaragoza on Saturday was their 17th league victory from 20 games, keeping them top of La Liga on 52 points. A source close to Mourinho told the Sunday Times that the coach had become exasperated by life at the club. "José is sick and tired of this situation at Madrid. It doesn't matter if he wins this season or not. It's not about the money. He's decided to come back to England and he will go in the summer." The 49-year-old, who earns a net salary of £8.4m at Madrid, has previously been linked with both Manchester clubs, while Chelsea's relative struggles have raised doubts over André Villas-Boas's long-term future. Arsène Wenger's situation at Arsenal, and the Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp's links to the England job, also raise the possibility of high-profile Premier League vacancies at the end of the season. Mourinho was named the world's best coach in 2010 by Fifa after winning the Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia treble with Internazionale, and a La Liga title this season would be Madrid's first in four years. The win over Zaragoza marked a rapid recovery from Real's midweek exit from the Copa del Rey at the hands of Barcelona. That defeat prompted a particularly frosty press conference from Mourinho, who denied making tactical errors. Against Zaragoza his side came from behind after Angel Lafita gave the visitors a surprise early lead at the Bernabeu via a quickly taken free-kick in the 11th minute. But their hopes of a first win since mid-October rapidly disappeared. Kaká squeezed a low shot under Roberto to equalise in the 32nd minute and Cristiano Ronaldo tapped in his 24th league goal of the season just after the restart. Mesut Ozil scored after a slick move in the 56th and Zaragoza rarely threatened again. -------------------- In my opinion - I don't believe he will return to Chelsea, now we have Andre. I also don't think he would accept the "second" roll in the club as manager assistant. If he moves to any other Premier League club, we can expect bad things...

French striker Gael Kakuta believes he has the talent to become a success at Chelsea, and hopes his loan move to Dijon will give him the experience he needs to improve as a player. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/7462177/

I'm interested in that too...

Win!

Why the fuck is Torres playing in midfield?

What's wrong with Rambo?

GOAL!!!

PENALTY! WHO'LL TAKE IT?

What a pass from Mata!

Yes.

IMO, Howard played more time..

AVB: Quiet in the window. http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2591063,00.html

Chelsea FC Transfer News: On Lucas Moura Some interesting wording there: "our project next year is more important than the actual project at the moment". That's a flat-out admission that Chelsea are in a transition year and that the club is essentially building for a major push in the 2012/13 season, which is fascinating because if we don't finish in the top four this season our finances take a rather nasty hit which I'm not sure the club can afford. If Chelsea focus on buying in the summer and lose out on a Champions League spot... yikes. Not making a new signing before the window closes would be a pretty desperate gamble. In semi-related news, the Telegraph has come up with an interesting claim regarding another Brazilian: Sao Paolo's Lucas Moura, a We Ain't Got No History favourite. Since they haven't got anyone to talk about this on the record, take it with a grain of salt: That sound you just heard was Stephen screaming in rather painful glee. Are we going to land Lucas Moura? I have no idea, but it sounds a lot more likely right now than it did yesterday. Source: http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/2012/1/27/2753304/chelsea-fc-transfer-news-willian-lucas-moura

Andre Villas-Boas Admits Kevin De Bruyne Nothing To Do With Him It's somewhat-interesting-quote Friday! Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has admitted he has very little to do with the impending signing of Genk winger Kevin de Bruyne, and that Chelsea's long term plans are out of his hands: It's pretty easy to twist that into making it seem as though Villas-Boas doesn't want the young Belgian, but if you're familiar with the way Chelsea are currently set up it's entirely sensible. The manager's job is to coach the first team, and de Bruyne's nowhere near first-team ready. While I'm sure that Director of Football Michael Emenalo would coordinate with Villas-Boas on the transfer of players who are coming directly into the squad (e.g. Gary Cahill), there's absolutely no reason for the manager to get involved with prospects like de Bruyne, because they're entirely outside his sphere of responsibility. Also, it's always a good time to bring up how good a job Emenalo seems to be doing - he's made some great buys since stepping in as DoF, an appointment which met with heavy resistance from fans, and we don't mention him enough in these parts. I guess that quote wasn't that interesting after all. Oh well. Source: http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/2012/1/27/2753281/andre-villas-boas-kevin-de-bruyne-transfer

We would loan him to Vitesse.

Doubtful thoughts. I think it's fake firsty, if it isn't we can start discussing.

Welcome! :cfc:

You're annoying.

Judge him after he plays for us.

Oh, c'mon lad. You act like a little child... Nobody has nothing against you, it was really unkind from you to write this (even if it was a joke), because poster put a lot of work into translating original article. Keep non-sense comments to yourself. Kostas, Terminator and that brazilian dude are also making controversial comments, but nobody says they're stupid, because they have their own arguments to write as they do.

Yes, they're direct guys.

Stupid comment.
