Watching Guarín vs Fiorentina. So far: organises himself & players around him when pressing high/defending low block, always aware of...

Martin Lewis ‏@martinlewis941m

Players around him defensively (looks ever few seconds), attacks space on right hand side/middle well, always looking to receive in tight...

Martin Lewis ‏@martinlewis94now

Spaces, sometimes a little slow getting back(but there's usually 5-6 players behind him anyway) & always looks to offer passing option.

What amazes me the most. Most of folks here, trust Jose. No matter what he does or what he did, he knows it all ?

I assume that's a dig aimed at me and what I said in the post above yours.

No, Mourinho is not the perfect man nor is he the perfect manager. However, he is our manager and I trust him to do what he believes is best for the future of this football club. If Mourinho wants a player, let's say Guarin because it's his topic we're discussing here, but the fans and the upper management want to see someone else what do you think is the best way to go forward? To buy the player our manager wants to work with or buy the flavour of the month player our fans and Abramovich have fallen in love with by playing fucking Football Manager of FIFA?

No... He's made a lot more head scrathing decisions than I expected

To me, Jose made plenty of boo-boos in the summer. However, that is just my view.

Guarin is a necessary addition for squad depth. Willian wasn't necessary but any top manager knows you don't say no to quality. Both transfer subjects where/are a target of hate. Alot of members on these forums need to learn that you can't snap you're fingers and buy a top quality player at each position at will (certainly not in the january transfer period).

First of all, it was aimed in general. However,since you are here, let me respond.

Jose to me is not infallible, as I posted here on several occasions. He may try to make correct decisions & I am certain he wants the best for the club. No doubt here. However, sometimes his aim misses the target, William, Eto´o, Lukaku loan, just to name a few.

As for Roman, we know very little about him. Somehow, I feel he knows much more about this football team,than most of us think.

90% of this forum was also against the Schürrle transfer. Just saying...

What's wrong with Willian? Now that he's been getting games he's starting to prove his worth. He's still not where he's capable of being but I'm glad he's a Chelsea player. Eto'o/Lukaku situation is puzzling though.

Perhaps, he will get better. So far, what I can gather, not worth 30m, in my view.

I don't think anyone was questioning the quality of Willian, though. That is the main issue here with Guarin: He's just not good enough. When the fans of a mid-table Italian team are happy to see him gone, then that tells you all you need to know about him.

[Blue Warrior 109]

Pogba and Vidal are loving the Europa league I bet. I believe Pogba is yet to sign an extension and is holding out for a wage bump. Chelsea fans want to see English players, that will never change. I would rather see Chalobah or Mchechran get a go than another untested foreign player. Inter are very poor defensively so he is not setting the world on fire. Got to look long term, the only January signing that makes sense is to get a striker.

May I ask for a favor here ? Do you have any link to the Italian thread where those fans are happy to see him go ? In English please.

In Jose I trust, I'm sick if seeing lamps struggle in that role

Thanks. Plenty of jokers there too.

I tell the truth here. I would rather see Chelsea to pip Manures for Mangala in January. I know, he is a bit more money, but much more needed on Chelsea´s defense.

[yuvala 2,167]

is he any good ?

[Pacquiao 1,834]

With this transfer i 100% trust Jose as his knowledge of Porto and Inter/Serie A is as good as anyone's! if he wants this player then he must have something about him! i am pretty sure he will improve our team!

I was not sure on Schurrle and was never really impressed with him before we signed him but now having seen him up close for us, i think he is a great signing! and a top talent!

bottom line - Jose Knows!

[Sheva. 5,373]

I like him, from watching some of his games at Porto - have rarely seen him since moving to the Serie A.

Anyway if he does sign, i think he's a better option (than what we got) to play alongside Ramires 70% of the time.

I've directed some stick towards Lampard lately, but he does do well sometimes, his problem is when he has to play multiple times a week. With another midfielder coming in, he won't have to play so much, and we can have a fresher Lampard when we need him.

A much better option than poor Essien. And he's better than Mikel; also more aggressive, decent long range shot, can get amongst the goals if needed, and creates chances.

I'd much rather we get a decent player like Guarin, than getting no one and rotating Lampard, Mikel, Ramires in the crucial parts of the season.

[Strike 7,212]

As Sheva pointed out, not the solution to the midfield but a strong combative player like Guarin is a good option to have + Inter looking to sell makes the deal easy.

with Essien and Lampard winding down, we would need cover in this position for the next year. A kick in the guts for the young midfielders at the club if this is true though.
