The Mourinho Thread

Mourinho shunned any pay rise and has agreed to sign again for the SAME money!!!!

I'm sure that's rubbish.

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.

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.

so many areas we could strengthen, come on Jose, wake up!!

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.

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.

Fabregas at 27 mill and Costa at 32 mill. That is buying serious talent at decent prices. It doesn't have to be under £20 mill for example to be a decent price. I see all the names fly about. Maybe the clubs don't want to sell. And if they would sell it would be ridiculous money. Oh we should buy this player or that player. It just isn't that simple is the point I am trying to make and I think some people should cut Jose and the club some slack.

You have totally misunderstood the point of my post. I have not said don't buy players. As I mentioned in my reply to BlueLyon. I'm simply making the point it isn't as easy as grabbing this player and that player as some people seem to make out when slating Jose and the club for not having brought anyone in. (Bar Falcao of course)

The thing is not easy to improve our team other than paying crazy money to get a world class winger. Can't Think of reasonable target

I don't mind getting cabaye, we need backup for Cesc but cabaye was a backup in psg there is now way he want to move to chelsea just to be another backup

People seriously have to calm down, we're only 11 days into the transfer season and people are already whining about not improving our squad. Please start the whining after the transfer season.

We're probably addicted to rumours.
