José Mourinho, 31 January, 2014:

"We did other things this month, not the striker. I've said that for a couple of months. Nothing in January [for a forward]. Many people don't understand why we didn't do anything but, in the summer, you will understand why we didn't do anything [with the striker in January]".

He gambled and it's fucking paying off.

I remember last year people kept saying why didn't we get the midfielders and strikers we needed in, now it's clear why.

There was no top class players in our price range in that position avalible last summer, so he waited and now we have Matic, Cesc and Costa instead of Guarin and some second rate forward.

What, like Guarin and Torres?

The match vs City is the big test. Him vs Kompany. Can't wait to see how he does against one of the best CBs in the world.

His final test imo. If he performs well, he'll have no problems eventually becoming a future Chelsea legend.

it's Kompany who's shitting bricks at the prospect

[TheOneChan95 225]

I hope we don't set unrealistic expectations for him given his flying start. I doubt he can continue scoring at such a rate but obviously I'd be delighted if he proves me wrong.

[Namika 922]

It's not a test for him against Kompany, he already played against better than him...

Should be an amazing duel. Both are absolutely outstanding physically.

[Mechromancer 262]

Yeah, because Kompany is sooooooooooo gooooood.

[Barbara 15,149]

Well, I think we should be realistic. Unfortunately he won't score every single match and like even the best strikers in the history of the sport, he will have bad days or days when the ball just won't get in.

I'm not going to look at the City game as a final test. It's yet another match. He's already proved his value, I just hope he continues to score... but we all know he won't score in every single match he plays.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

We are probably gonna play much more like last season away so best he will get is 1 goal if he takes his chance. Maybe 2 if we are 1 up and at the end they go all out attack, which leaves spaces for us to go counter.

Kompany is the most overrated defender in the world. He's played against genuinely great center backs in training, I'm sure he can handle Kompany

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Even Mata has made Kompany look like a proper mug.
