If you can do good in Carling Cup or FA Cup it will be good, if not no big deal. CL the same, I don't have a obsession towards it as it was a couple of years ago to win it for the first time. Now I want to win the PL more then anything. Giving how we finish this season, I say not challenging for the tittle next season would be a disappointment. We already know what we are lacking, so do the right transfer this window and we have a big chance of taking that last step to PL glory. Cause City with FFP on their back, they will have to tread lightly. Liverpool, ain't worry much about them till they improve their defense. But then again, we always have those one season teams. Maybe it's the same for Liverpool? A great season this one, and maybe a mediocre season next. Arsenal, don't care. United is the wild card for next season and we will have to see how things go for them this summer. But bar any catalyst, I think Chelsea should be number 1 for the tittle next season.

Why some people are on the bony train? He seems like a very slow guy to me. He might have brute strength but at best to me he seems like a minimal upgrade to Ba. Nothing amazing really.

I think it won't be a success if they lose the cl final. I hope Atlético takes it as it might be hard for them to get there in quite some time.

Not sure about Costa being the same, but I feel Falcao would fall under that bracket after his injury.

Does it also include a salary cap right? They can't increase their wages more then what they currently have?

I know right, I get sick and tired of this bullshit. People say they don't like Mourinho cause he talks shit, but then people go with feeding him shit. It's like feeding the troll! And even in the press conference is the same shenanigans! I want to know about the team, what he's development for the pivot? Ramires and Matic? He changed the system half way through to qualify for CL, will he continue the same approach next season or go back to original plan? etc etc.

Here's more of some of the questions he answered: https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/mourinho-d-stay-chelsea-10-years-long-time-183001122.html

Can someone ask him why does he insist on using Ramires in the mid? If because he was the best option available, does he expect to buy a better CM to partner Matic? Edit: I send the question, but think I might be too late.

Yes true but that was in the winter after that whole youth thing experiment went to shit. We was in panic mode and that cost us dearly.

Yeah that's true el is not something amazing but whatever it's something then nothing. We started to go down in performance the second season of Carlo because we wanted to spend less and rely on youth. Big mistake that because non of the managers we went for had a track of implementing youth. We since long gave up that idea and started to spend again after rdm cl final.

See there's a difference. I'm not talking about spending 20 million here and there but we are talking about spending on a whole squad. Now we all know it will be very hard to do good at the beginning because the players have to gel and such. But when your out spending your rival by 10 to 1 then your expectations goes up. It's the same in other sports. Miami Heat spend a lot with LeBron James and such. Yankees being one of the richest teams. So yes me being 30 and well traveled have noticed that. That on teams that spend big, expectancy goes up exponentially.

Scolari fired and we win a trophy with hiddink. Avb fired and we win trophies with rdm. Ancelotti one good season and one bad season. We still do good regardless who we had.

City two titles in 3 years. Money helps a lot. Hence for me, a club with abundant resources can give themselves the luxury to have anybody coach them and still do good.

Still it was based of building a team with a lot of money. For me you won't get big props for that as say to what mourinho did at Porto, simeone at Atlético, klopp at dortmund and such. It's expected to do good with that amount of resources as its expected for pelle to win 5 titles in such an amount of time.

Didn't see him bringing the best out of Mata, David Luiz, torres and such? For me he brings the best out of players that fit his style of play. He can't do it for everyone. But out of all this it's clear one thing, money helps a lot. The biggest credit to mourinho will always be Porto. But after that what he did in Chelsea.... Men even a city with a mediocre manager in Mancini did it. A better manager like pelle has improved the system. So in all that, Chelsea a rich club we can have the luxury of getting almost anyone and still succeed.

Hehe this is so funny. Next thing we will hear is that what mourinho says on the camera is not true. It's all been manipulated to think he said that. Mourinho has no power or say at all but the man behind the curtain! :-D

Well he is right, Mourinho was a fool for that comment, that's why Mourinho was mad at the french media. He would have never said that in public, so that it came of record it made him look like a fool.

I saw this documentary call blood brother in which an American goes to India and lives in a community that is for people that have aids. I was kinda shock how certain people would treat those with aids in discontent. Especially how they was marginalized from society. Are you aware of such situations? If so what's your general attitude towards it? And how much has the female equality change in your surroundings?

Good stuff I also liked the almost quotes. Reminds me of Apocalipto almost character. I wonder if hazard had that in mind when he was saying that this season is a season of almost. :-)

I think is both parties fault, mourinho and lukaku. Because when Ba wanted to go to arsenal on loan he was going to go but mourinho stopped it. Here is a clear example of the managers ability to allow a loan to happen. Then lukaku as well because he didn't had enough faith in himself to get over 3 not so good strikers. But in the end it worked well for lukaku the best as he has set up a case for himself.

Yeah I feel the same otherwise we would have stayed with kdb and Mata.

Yeah he's good, can be a good piece of business like it was with azpi.

I don't think mourinho is even after him. Will rather wait and see what he wants.

Why 2 for CB? Because it was needed like with Ramires on the RW right? That shows flexibility then. Anyhow I don't take into account injuries, but surely ban. A player that gets ban stupidly is on him. That's a difference then being injured or being ineligible like Matic in CL.

Seems like about even to me.
