The trinity must always stay together!

I could see Mata somewhere in there too.

Tancredi Palmeri Confirmations on Chelsea requesting Sneijder to Galatasaray #cfc. So we could get both Sneijder and De Rossi according to this guy?

I haven't watched a lot of Schurrle, but hopefully he'll be a good rotational squad member at the very least, that's if we do indeed sign him. For those that have seen him preform regularly how does he compare with Jesus Navas? He's just signed with Manchester City, for around 20 million. He does of course suffer from chronic homesickness so that may (likely) be a serious problem.

To that Spurs fan on SSN who said Mourinho would fail...

Manchester please sit down, London will forever dominate. Spurs? Bale? No.

Treble 2013/14.

I can't find a meme or anything actually to successfully convey my feelings right now. I'm so happy. It's like we've won the Champions League again. Welcome home, Jose!

@Alex shall have to be banned from the forum, temporarily breaking the hearts of Chelsea supporters across the globe!

Oscar was my stand out performer on the night, it seems every Brazilian game I watch he's their most reliable player, even more so than the so-claimed glorious Neymar, who once again, having watched him live against Russia, disappointed me. Scolari's decision to substitute Oscar bemused me, even in a friendly, as I guess every fan in the whole stadium was shown by their reaction. I would love to see him play more centrally for Chelsea, by far his most efficient position, even if it means playing Mata out wide in the occasional game.

Thank you, I tried exceptionally hard to think of a post worthy of meeting your high standards. I'm glad you acknowledged the attempt.

He is currently occupied, he's already at Jose's press conference!

I'd have him because he's a good player. Simple.

Jose Mourinho arrives in the UK - More on #SSN

I can neither confirm nor deny.

The curse shall be broken!

Ouch...

I apologise for taking a while to respond to your post, been caught up in exams. As I said I was simply speculating (and adding) on what people have previously stated, Steve Clarke was a brilliant servant for the club in his playing days and later went on to manage under Jose's reign, so I see no reason why Zola couldn't replicate such.

Britt Robertson, my friend. Britt Robertson.

As a result of Falcao having been signed by Monaco, and Lewandowski pretty much set for Bayern Munich, we need to do everything possible in bringing (at least) one striker of world-class quality to Chelsea, be that someone like Cavani, Jovetić, Dzeko or even Wayne Rooney. Every successful club needs that special player up front capable of changing a game, which sadly (current) Torres and Demba Ba cannot provide. On a goal-to-game basis all players I included above have notably goal scoring records, seemingly fitting in with Chelsea's recent inability to finish chances, and as a simple as it sounds a game won't be won without goals. If we are to release the services of one of our front men, not including Lukaku who I expect will be kept out on loan, I could easily see two of the four join our squad – and with Jose, additional strikers could be bought to recreate his old 4-3-3 tactic.

It's all simply speculation, although I see no reason why Zola couldn't be our assistant coach. He fulfills the needed credentials, the main being involved within the club and loved by the fans (who'd certainly approve of the appointment if made) and as stated RDM followed a similar route with West Brom.

Seeing as Watford failed to gain qualification to the Premier League, Zola could may be our assist manager next season. I imagine Jose was mainly watching Chalobah, perhaps with a look at Vydra. There was a couple of his staff with him too, including Rui and Louro.
