We may never know for sure but it certainly fits with Jose's comments last season when he talked about wanting to stay and not asking for a pay rise to do so.

This guy is probably the biggest retard in twitter.

I'm expecting some moves in market. We can't rely in a back 4 with Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill and Azpilicueta for another season. Full-backs must be a priority.

Surely you mean a Center Back.

I can't see Jose dropping any of Ivanovic/Azpi. Someone will replace Filipe eventually if he asked to leave but the coach is most definitely satisfied with the current set of FBs whereas he doesn't have the same kind of faith in Cahill. There are currently no real critical position where we need strengthening unlike last summer, but a top ball playing CB would be the closest thing to it. I think the club is waiting for a good opportunity similar to Benatia with Bayern.

That's a bit harsh.

We have a first 11 that walked the league pretty much last season. The only way to strengthen that is with absolute worldies. Name me one worldie who is available and not at a ridiculous price. It isn't as simple as going out and buying this player and that player. Cut him some slack.

Looking beyond the bitter verbal exchanges, its clear that Mourinho is the most flexible and capable tactician in the Premier League. When the pitches are in decent shape and his squad isnt heavily affected by suspensions and injuries, he sets his teams out to play dynamic, attacking football.

When conditions are against the players or his side are failing to conjure their best form, he simplifies things. He doesnt mind appearing unfashionable in order to cope with the unique challenge of a wet, windy Tuesday night in Stoke.

That is one of the key differences between Jose and the self-excusing purists he jousts with domestically; he builds his teams around an infectious battling ideology rather than handing players a manual detailing the trajectories of passes they can and cannot play. As a result, they fight for him and for the cause

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nail and head is an understatement.

Now Chelsea, City and Arsenal all had excellent spells last season were everything was going good and we were playing great stuff, we all also had spells were things weren't going so great.

When things are not going good THAT is when the quality of the man in the dugout comes in, that is when he really has to earn his money, that is when even a minor mistake in the tactics can be the difference between a crucial draw or a costly defeat, or a vital win and unnecessary draw, and most importantly off all, that is where Mourinho showed he was not only miles better than Pellegrino and Wenger, but on a completely different planet. The latter two looked clueless last season when things were going shit, whereas Mou knuckled down and made sure we still found a way to win.

It's not that hard to bask in the Sun of your team's good form, even we looked irrestiable under Scolari for a while, its who can stand up and be counted when things aren't going great, that's when the true test of a manager comes to the fore, Mourinho past the test, Greenie, Arsene and Brendan failed.

Barca won everything yet they are strengthening. Man_utd, city, Arsenal are all strengthening or looking to do so. We shouldn't make the same mistake as in 2011. Had we signed half the AMs we've now after loosing Deco and Ballack back then, we wouldn't have declined for the next two/three years. Only a miracle saved us in 2012. Imagine what would've happened had we not won the CL . All our English competition were hoping for our failure that year, it'd have been such a blow. CHELSE SHOULD NEVER EVER LET SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

It is all well and good talking the talk like that but in reality it isn't as simple. I asked you to name me a world class talent who is available at a decent price. You couldn't. Proves my point

There are no decent prices. Monaco just paid Lille 14m for Adama Traore, age 20, who was MVP of world cup U20, but has only ONE! professional season in his career so far.

All decent players get sold for at least 20m. There will be no world class talent available for decent price, unless that guy is on last year contract or sth. And you cant wait 5 years to catch such player.

Im sure there are players Mourinho likes alot. We should go all the way to get them.

Doesn't have to necessarily be a world class player, just players that add to us and give us more tactical flexibility and strengthen us, take for example United in 2007, they just won the title and brought in Hargreavs, not exactly world class but improved the team, gave them a new dynamic defensively and was a vital part in them retaining the title, am I expected to believe that profile off player isn't out in the market somewhere?

Ultimately we ourselves are living proof off the danger off getting to comfortable, the way to stay on top is to keep evolving when on top, if we win the treble next season including the league with over 100 point's I will still want us to enter the market and strengthen/evolve the squad with 2-3 player's.
