I am so fucking happy, people here know how much I hate Barcelona!

Pique you cunt!

GOLAZO ROBBEN, GAME OVER! :woo:

This! It is one thing to put faith in the kid (which I do, I think him and KDB are the best players from our loanees), but a whole other to make him a world beater because he is currently impressing everyone. In his mind, Chalobah must be English captain and our first option DM without even being having one single cap for England or professional game under Chelsea. Chalobah is a great player for his age, but we don't know how good he will be. He has no Premier League experience (which for some cases he makes it so important and in others it seems irrelevant to him) and he was never tested under great pressure (an UCL Semi-final or whatever). On top of that, we can't tell if he is an early bloomer but will not improve much from here. Those are all big question marks which will take time for him to answer... Youth players come and go and we cant ever tell what their true potential are. There are uncountable examples of young promising players who emerge with 17-18 yo but fade away. Nothing is a certainty!In my personal opinion, we should keep him next season and give him playing time. I have high expectations. However, they are sill only expectations...

Alright!

They will both use it...

He is definitely not staying dude!

I have two concerns about Mourinho... One is the fact I am not so sure he will indeed use our youth as many blindly believe he will and the other is the preference he gives for transfers of players whom have the same agent as his. I am not saying he is not our best option or that I dont want him here, I am just saying that this worries me at some point!

I agree, but sending it publicly he makes whole England put pressure on Roman... I know Mourinho is very good at deviating the focus and making everyone talk about him and not about the results or performance. However, I personally think that wasnt particularly the case. Anyways, lets agree to disagree!

I bet even the Saudi Arabian media is talking about it, I just said that it isnt bigger than the game headlines... I get what you are saying, but I dont think he meant it in that way (we all knew they were going out). I think this was a clear message to Roman, somewhat in the lines of "please, come and get me, I will say yes"!

You are only talking about English media, because if you go to Spanish, Italian and German sports site, they are all giving the headlines to the game and a small portion of the publicity to Jose's interview! It is only natural that English media (with no English team in the UCL) puts all the spot light on his interview. However, it is not like everybody is talking about it; actually, most of the world is talking about the game and not that he is probably coming to Chelsea...

Mata wearing Brazilian shirt makes me so happy!

Just like Moyes!

People already giving up on him? LOL! He is not anywhere near ready, but typical Chelsea impatience in this thread...

That is because we are in a Chelsea forum...

I would love for it to be Chelsea vs BVB...

I can't decide between the two...

Real lost because they missed many chances, but people forget about last week's game, where if they hadn't been so abysmal, 2-0 would have been enough.

Exactly how I feel, but you cant deny that is a big statement still...

Now onto the rumored transfers... Pepe: I dont like him at all. I think he is a bad defender and uses violence not because he is violent (which he is), but because he cant stop other players with clean tackles. Him at CB would be risky due to the fact EPL refs love to fuck with Chelsea. For me, a big no. I prefer someone like Subotic. However, he has the same agent as Mourinho, so this is why he will probably come. As far as price, he was bought for 30 mi euros and Real is not a great seller, so I think it will be something around 20-23mi euros. Moutinho: I fucking love this guy and he is the perfect DLP for us. He will do absolutely great, specially with José as the head coach. The 20mi pounds that is being speculated is spot on in my view. Di Maria: He is everything we need to complement Hazard and Mata, wow, would be a dream. Strong, fast, work horse, can cross, dribble, etc. However, he is fucking expensive, I am guessing around 40mi, ouch! Falcao: I have been through this before. He is no Cavani, but he is no scrub. People love to make him bad just because of his price tag, but he isn't bad and he wont be a flop (Mourinho wont let that happen). Still, he is fucking dam expensive, 53mi? Jesus! Although, whatever happens, don't deny you would all love for Torres not be our all time most expensive player.... Loanees: More than these 4 great signings, I want to see Chalobah and KDB back. I really, really do. They have deserved it, lets not waist those two excellent prospects. The rest (Courtois, Wallace, Ake, Josh, Piazon and Lukaku) should be loaned and carefully watched. Outs: I see no more space for Torres, Marin, Malouda, Benayoun, Kakuta and Turnbull. They should all go. With Jose, I see a hope for Essien, Lampard, Cole, Terry and Cech though... EDIT: We dont really know if Mourinho will come and if these will be the potential transfer targets. I am just playing with the rumors!

Alright, because he always says that he will never coach in a country where he doesnt know the language...

Because each year is a different story and to be quite fair, he got very very close the last two years (comming down to CR7, Kaka and Ramos missing penalties or Ozil and Higuain missing 2-3 huge opportunities)... We can't tell if he will do any better of if he will lose 3 straight SFs again. However, he is our best shot!

@Leif, does Jose know how to speak French though?

I honestly think it has absolutely nothing to do with that, it has do to with whether he will give Mourinho full power in the transfer window or not... I bet you that the only thing holding Jose´s rerturn is Roman´s unwillingness to let him have all the decisions that now belongs to him and Emenalo.
