Is that...Zouma as a sweeper? I didn't realise we traveled back in time to the early 90s.

Everybody knows I'm not a big fan of Mourinho, but this KDB thing is getting pretty ridiculous.
Yesterday I just realized there were 150 members reading his thread, and I thought he just scored 5 goals, then went to see the result and realized he just scored a winner against Sevilla ...I just read something on DM saying he is the man of english football this season. He is not worth City paid for him.
Thats so fucking ridiculous. The fact KDB was discarded after 3 or 4 games, speaks loud about Jose Mourinho (the club was investing in rising star, and now is getting Barcelona rejects) but to be honest KDB left the club almost 2 seasons ago.
I'm looking forward West Ham and waiting to see what Mourinho will bring in that game.
Crying for KDB at this moment doesn't make any sense, he is not even a Chelsea player so I don't understand why everyone is talking about him in this forum.

please god bring back kalas....
i can't take it anymore...

Mikel performance was still OK last Sunday, at least he is still dependable in that kind of situation.

Or just check the squad number.

He's back

Scored big goals for us last year when he was needed but he has been dropped for a has been. I suppose we should of seen it coming though, Drogba going was always going to require us signing another striker... getting Falcao and using him more than Remy though, hmm.

Funny thing is if he scores that, people are suddenly saying he had a great game and should be in the team. His actual performance was good. A shame that the miss has made everyone forget about the way he set that counter attack up for Costa's goal. Fantastic running and picked out Pedro with a fantastic pass who set up Costa for the goal. That was a counter attack at it's best. He bad a bad miss, like I said, not a bad game. I hope he starts against Palace and I reckon Mourinho will go with the same trio again. No reason, not too. First signs of the trio were very promising. Let's see how they fare up against Palace.

it is very different.
i support chelsea. not mourinho. if i see someone not doing their best for the club, i will point it out. and this is not a "small thing"... putting favouritism over the club from the manager can NEVER EVER be seen as a "small thing".

Nobody believes that Mata could be a good option for US?

I do not think we need to describe Juan because all of US know him.

I think we have different attacking players with different characteristics:

1. physically strong players. Matic (perfect in all), Mikel, Ramires.

2. physically strong players with overflow capacity. Willian, Cuadrado.

3. unknowns. Oscar.

4. Players with ability to organize the team. Fabregas.

5. Strikers. Didier Drogba, Diego Costa, Remy and Hazard.

6. Young players (Physically strong and skilful). Nathan Ake and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
In all positions we have several players except players with ability to organize the team where we just have to Fabregas.

When our opponents makes a personal marking to put pressure on Fabregas us suffer a lot.

For me should be paramount sign players with the ability to make quick passes and increase the speed of circulation of our ball. We can not let Fabregas abandoned alone in the pitch.

Looking at the market there are very few options:

Koke. We have to sign him Yes or Yes.
Mata. A player who would be adapted quickly to the club and the city.

Ozil. He did well at Real Madrid, but it has been a disaster at Arsenal. Bad option.

Sneijder. Too old. Bad option.

De Bruyne. Maybe it is a very expensive option. I think Mata is more technical.
Isco. Real Madrid will never sell him. But it could be an option if Real Madrid sign Pogba. They are used to make all kinds of strange things with the signings. They are sometimes unpredictable. Isco has improved spectacularly in collective work with Ancelotti.
I don`t find more players like Fabregas in the market (players there are real possibilities of signing). If anyone knows any more, please put it. But I think these are the main ones options.

For me we are going to sign a Koke this summer. It is a hope that I have. But I think maybe we need more players like that. The season is very long, perhaps with a single signing like Fabregas might not be enough.
Mata could be a good option.
Regards to ALL.

He also said this about Chalobah in 2013.

"He is a very, very good player. I like him very much - very, very much. I am very impressed. For sure, a Chelsea player (in future), for sure. We think he is there".
I'm just saying Jose isn't neccessarily a man of his words and I will only believe it when I see it.

Hilarious, especially Willian who thinks dropping a bit whatever he's using to cover his mouth will suddenly reveal who he is

We need someone decent for Matic backup.

Already confirmed via e-mail that Jose will hold it. But would be nice if he ignored it and bunch of journos will sit in conference room like idiots.

Time for revenge, we are ready! See in wembley!

Jose Mourinho’s second coming may not have produced instant success that everyone connected with Chelsea was hoping for, but bringing back ‘The Special One’ could reap considerable dividends. Coming so close to winning the Premier League and falling agonisingly short of Champions League glory at the semi-final stage still represents a step in the right direction, but Mourinho was openly adamant that foundations were being built to be much stronger in his second season. Moulding a squad to suit his style of play and meet the quality that a club of Chelsea’s considerable calibre demands was the challenge put forward to a manager who worked closely with Roman Abramovich to target top quality signings. A summer packed with incomings and outgoings have put Chelsea in a wonderful position to mount a serious challenge on every domestic and European front to enjoy the success that fans and Abramovich expects.
Summer transfers
A major factor behind Chelsea’s potential development was how Mourinho would utilise the summer transfer window to put the club in a much stronger position to challenge for major honours. Although it was always likely that the club could flex its considerable financial muscle in bringing in big name players, there was a case for negotiation to let players who Mourinho wanted to move on leave Chelsea for pastures new.
Selling David Luiz and Romelu Lukaku for a combined total of £78 million should be considered a masterstroke, despite an underlying feeling that letting a highly-talented forward leave may come back to haunt Mourinho. The arrival of Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa not only represent wonderful deals for Chelsea, but also resulted in the club moving ahead of Manchester City as the bookies’ favourites to win the 2014/2015 Barclays Premier League. Atletico Madrid left-back Felipe and Queens Park Rangers striker Loic Remy have also arrived through the doors at Stamford Bridge, while Didier Drogba has made an emotional return to the club; the Ivorian remains a firm fans’ favourite, with the striker providing an invaluable option upfront with his considerable strength and power. It would be stupid not to back them with the wealth of quality at Mourinho’s disposal, with the squad stronger than ever in every department.
Statement of intent
Enjoying a strong start to the season was essential for the Blues to make a real statement of intent and lay down a marker for their closest Premier League rivals to match. Three consecutive victories represent a wonderful start for Chelsea who swept aside Burnley, Leicester and Everton to record maximum points. Although Leicester gave Chelsea a real scare at Stamford Bridge before Diego Costa and Eden Hazard sealed a 2-0 victory, Mourinho’s men have been in ominous form from the get-go. The supreme quality of play in all departments has been a joy to behold, with Fabregas and Diego Costa instantly repaying their transfer fees with superb performances. They have both made an immediate difference in areas where Chelsea arguably fell short last season; Fabregas has the vision and range of passing to dissect defences and create chances at will, while Costa brings considerable physicality, strength and deadly eye for goal which should make amends for Chelsea’s lack of goals from the forward line. There is no question that Chelsea are well equipped to be a dominant force in the Premier League, but also have enough in the tank to be a major threat in the domestic cup competitions and Champions League.

They've lost their last 5....
I swear to god...if we can't beat them.....

If we get a new manager, then Ryan's career could be affected. I remember Scott Sinclair given fair bit of run by Mourinho. Mourinho was sacked and Scott was later loaned for game time. Ryan is getting similar runs from Di Matteo but a new manager will want another left back.
FOR ANY YOUNGSTER TO FLOURISH, MANAGER STABILITY IS IMPORTANT!!

Agree. The likes of Mceachran, Lukaku, Kakuta, De Bruyne should play more in next season too.
