A different time where the club was spending like crazy. They are being more conservative. So if torres, ba and lukaku in the team then I don't see this happening.

I don't see us having torres and cavani at the same time.

“The budget for the transfer market will be based in relation to the Financial Fair Play rules,” said De Laurentiis. “If Cavani is sold then I’ll reinvest all of the 63 million euros of his rescission clause. “There is interest from Chelsea in Cavani, they’ll call me in the next few hours. “I’ll be delighted if he stays, but if he leaves then he will be adequately replaced.” De Laurentiis also considered Napoli’s plans for players to bring in over the summer. “At the moment the priorities are in defence given the departure of Hugo Campagnaro [free transfer to Inter] and the change in system. “Benitez’s formation will also require a midfielder, so we are looking for an important figure in the middle. “We also require another right sided second striker. We are closing in on someone in this area, but I can’t say anything more in order to avoid the asking price going up. “We’ll also consider a goalkeeper, but not to replace Morgan De Sanctis. We’re in talks with a youngster to be our second choice.” Juan Zuniga has been linked with Inter and Juventus recently, but the President was clear. “Zuniga will stay at Napoli. I won’t sell him – not even for 25m.” Discussion recently has been on De Laurentiis’ plans to buy a second club, perhaps in England. “My idea for the English club is to start from a lower league, I want to export the Napoli model in four nations – Italy, USA, England and Brazil. “I want to do that in the next six years.” ---------- So far nothing on Benitez wanting Torres.

Vote for Skipper. He is very articulate in his response. Always gives great opinions to back up his argument and counter argument.

Well Mourinho talked about young players in his interview. So I think he wants to build something for long term like saf did. The you don't win nothing with kids quote comes to my mind. Saf did it and I think Mourinho wants that challenge as well. This is why he said he was not going to go crazy spending on players.

Well you guys who worship Mourinho so much, he gave the go to get him. So what happens to in Mourinho we trust? Only when it's convenient?

Can you guys please stop complaining about the price? Damn, it was the same shit when Ramires was bought. Give it a break. He is mad young and has a lot of potential. Who with Mourinho will help to get the best out of him.

According to reports it was 22. 34 is the with the contract he signed...massive wages. It's kinda dumb to put it like that, cause if we go by that then Chelsea payed 100 million for Torres. 50 mill to buy and another 50 million for his contract and wages.....

Does anybody feels like Schurrle is a Kuyt? Brought here to be Torres donkey?

Very bad case. Cause in CL sometimes lucks helps you a lot. When Mourinho was at Chelsea, we had a better team and we got beaten by a lesser team in Liverpool. They got their luck in those games, and we got our luck in last season. But in a league format, luck does not cut it. Why you think Liverpool never won the PL? Or we finish 6th last season?

Juventus getting Tevez, Llorente and Higuain? Damn, Juventus are also building a great team.

Well if it's 22 million then that is much much better. Wages, well we also pay over the odd wages. Malouda, Kalou, Mikel. That is the new norm in today's top team.

I guess you might be surprised. If we go by TMO analysis, then he will do some damage. I don't watch much La Liga, so I will take the word of a Liga fan over any other for now.

Yes but buys like Torres, and Kaka inflate the market price. Cause if you pay that much for piece of shit like them, then average to good players increase higher.

Wow Shaktar got an amazing deal! Maybe we can sell City Torres for 75 mill.

Well it is thought to be Pellegrini. Anyways, just read this: Man City 'agree £34m fee' for Fernandinho........... Wow really? those guys are idiot. 34 for such a player? But then again, can't say much since we payed 50 mill for Torres!

Similar to the Torres FC fan that worship him and make any excuse to validate anything. I have no doubt that Mourinho is probably the best manager in the world, but even then he still is dispensable like any player. The only one that matter for me is Roman. As he is the club. He has the power to destroy or make prosper this club.

Yeah let's just think for a second. To all the teams he has come he has stuck with the person that had the best personality to be leaders, and got rid of the troublemakers. Mata is the nicest guy you will ever get. So Mourinho is not stupid to do such a thing. If he does, then something wrong with the guy. But I don't believe it. The only reason I will see the club selling someone like David Luiz and such is because they want to go, like Robben did to Madrid. But after that, Mourinho and the club are not stupid. So entertaining such ideas is just ludicrous. It is just to get you all mad against the new coach. Not worth the time.

Mourinho said that players like Lampard, and Terry are the soul of the club. Great point. But I wonder, with Lampard getting to the end of his career, will he want to keep Lampard as an assistant? Lampard is one smart guy, and if coach correctly by Mourinho be can become a top coach. Who knows, he can even take over after Mourinho. But Lampard always made me think that he can have a life after the game in a managerial role. Heck Brendan, AVB, and Clark have not done that bad after learning a thing or two from Mourinho.

Selling Mata? Blasphemy! Not even Mourinho is that stupid enough. But Torres, yes please! :blue scalf:

Was that real? If so epic!

He is 22, cost 20 mill and is better then Torres? So that way we say fuck it. Anything is an upgrade to Torres from here on!

Wow in Brazil they are even more crazy about football then anywhere else. Hopefully I can make it to the World Cup next year and meet some Brazilian blues! :blue scalf:

Got a question for people from England. With Mourinho back, do you guys think they will bring back ITV Mourinho Specials. The one with the little puppet that acts like Mourinho?

So Mourinho does want schurrle then. I guess people can stop pointing at emanolo for trying to get him.
