Special Juan

Delighted, the best manager and we have him.

Relaxed Jose arrives. Said he doesn't know if Diego is training, training at 5pm.

Starting to lose it old Martinez.

Madrid bound then.

What do I expect? Well, a really tough game actually. Swansea ain't no mugs and despite us smashing them at The Liberty last season this is very different. We have looked sluggish to say the least in pre season. I can honestly see us conceding first and us needing to chase the game and it ending up in a 1-1 draw. If Costa isn't fit I want to see Falcao, but not only see Falcao but also see him receive service from the likes of Oscar and Hazard. Nice fast and efficient start please, both to the season and the match. KTBFFH

Sounds like Martinez maybe getting dizzy from the Chelsea tranquilliser.

The problem being is we bought a guy last January who has done very little, now we have a dilemma with Moses back here. We have the jury still out on Oscar as our 10, and we are also hoping one of Cuadrado, Willian or Moses can do it wide right. Should of sold Cuadrado to anyone who was willing to take him and used that money for Pedro, that then would allow Willian and Oscar to fight out the 10 role.

I appreciate what Mikel has done and achieved here, but fucking hell he's stealing a living now. At one point last night he kicked the ball out of play and looked around as if to say "That's all I could of done"

I agree, and the sounds, or lack of them, suggest we aren't. I'm just hoping, in my heart of hearts that something is happening nobody knows about. Probably more hope than expectation.

Tibo Brana Cahill Terry Azpi Matic Fabregas Willian Oscar Hazard Falcao That's the team Jose will select.

Looking likely that United will be all over him when Di Maria to PSG is announced. Would of been an absolute hand in glove fit for our right side, but instead we will probably continue with Willian there who shouldn't be there and hope Oscar can come good as the #10.

Changed his profile on Twitter and Tweeted "Done" https://twitter.com/22mosalah

Needs the service before he can actually get chances lads.

Hard to draw any positives at all from what was a very poor pre-season from start to finish. That last night was as drab as it gets really- No cutting edge and despite all the changes everybody looked jaded and void of ideas. I'm not sure I am looking forward to this weekend now, and listening to Jose fills me zero confidence, and it's a long time since I said that. If he doesn't know when Costa will be ready, then who knows? I have a feeling all this silence in this transfer window will lead to more rushed and panic buys come January.

Stop being so down beat man.

Happy with that, come on Chels.

Not sure what's more worrying...those words or the fact it was never dealt with over summer.

48M...Fucking hell.

I hope that both Everton and Stones have spoken, and both parties agreed that if 'That' bid comes in it's all systems go. There has to be some mutual discussions in all this between the club, player and agent as the next bid is potential make or break in all this.

If 30M bid goes in I wonder who crumbles first, Everton or Stones.

'For me, the transfer window is over 'I know it is open and my club is able to buy or sell 'What happens happens Just wait and see is my advice to everyone on this.

When asked if the pursuit of Stones is dead on talkSPORT on Wednesday morning, Mourinho replied: 'I repeat the same thing every season. For me, the transfer window is over. I don’t like the transfer window when competition starts.' 'I know it is open and my club is able to buy or sell, but I don’t like that feeling. As a football coach I am now thinking about my players, about my squad and I don’t want to think about the transfer window. 'What happens happens, but I’m not going to lose one minute of my time thinking about the transfer window and I’ll try to get the best out of my players. 'These are the rules and I have to adapt but I don't think about it.'

Really looking forward to this and seeing how we react and play after Sunday.
