Don't get why he would know what Abramovic said in regards to mourinho.

If Madrid do lose the tie, then Mourinho can't blame any conspiracies, refereeing decisions, ghost goal and all that. That is unless something extraordinary happens in the second leg next Tuesday.

IIRC jose wanted falcao at real madrid but atletico were not prepared to sell him to their local rivals so it wont be surprising to see jose wanting falcao again.

I dont understand why people are so against Falcao.

1) You compare him with Torres because his pricetag would be in that area and Torres failed bigtime. - It's not even a comparable situation. Torres was almost forced to join Chelsea, mostly due to the money we offered Liverpool. Plus Falcao is in a totally different mental and physical state than Torres was/is.

2) You think he is too expensive. - Why do you even care about this? Its not your money and people just replying with "FFP": You honestly dont think there are people in Chelsea FC who know the situation 10 times better than you? Plus, you guys are seriousley overrestimating the effect of FFP.

There is that but the thing is, why spend 50m for Falcao when you can probably get a good quality ST for a much lower price and then spend the remaining money on someone else to improve other areas that we need to fix. It's a case of probably of wanting to see the club spend wiser than they are right now.

I can understand people wanting Lewa or Cavani over Falcao, but not wanting the Colombian full stop?

Can we tho? Lewa is most likely going to Bayern and Cavani will cost just as much if not more. Those 3 and RVP (we missed the boat big time there) are the best four forwards in world football right now, if were serious about getting back with the big boys, one of these is what's going to get us there.

I read an article days ago where someone who worked in Rafa's staff said in english football people make you look bigger than you really are.

In his first interview (or one of the first) as a Chelsea manager, Mourinho said he just won a UCL, so he was a special one, he wasnt one of the bottle...well, thats was just a defiant manager saying the obvious, he wasnt an average manager at all, but his words got out of proportion, 10 years later people in England call him "The Special One", I think its the same about him as a manager.

Mourinho is special, is very good manager, but he is not this kind of messiah that won everything he decide to. 3 years with Real Madrid, and won 1 La Liga with the spanish side, well, not that special. Mourinho is not the best manager in the world anymore, but perhaps he is the best option for Chelsea at the moment.

About the Bild article, I thought it was really short, and there was no informations at all, it just says: "Mourinho's return to Chelsea is almost certain", and "Abramovich is planning a special gift: Falcao".

Well, thats not different from the kind of articles we see in Daily Mail, in fact its not different from those things we see in random twitter accounts...

Don't think Lewandowski heading to Bayern is as simple as it look. There seems to be some contradiction of reports saying he will leave for Bayern, he will stay at Dortmund till 2014, could end up in PL etc. Nothing is certain yet. And heck, even Gomez (not that I want him here) is available for only 25m!

Most likely using 'Bild' as their source.

Bild is the biggest BS newspaper in the German speaking area. It's probably even worse than DailyFail level.

Both say in the article that their source is Bild.

A very nice in depth statistics of top managers and candidates for Chelsea's next manager, including Mourinho. I think it will change alot of the opinion about Mourinho and young players.
