The Mourinho Thread

[bushman 2,043]

Chelsea will likely be getting rid of KDB, Ba, Eto and Torres. Add to that the likelihood of Mata and David Luiz being sold too.

Mourinho can get the squad he wants and not only will Abramovich not have to spend a single penny, perhaps he'll even be making a profit.

Building =/= Rebuilding.

Joke's on you troll.

I see, you have not learned anything for the past week or so.

Mumbo jumbo.

Jose: I want to be like old foe Wenger and stay at Chelsea for 12 years

Would answer the 'stability' problems we've had

But, Buck said the same thing about AVB being our 'long-term' manager, so we can't really speculate. Would prefer someone like Jose at the helm of the club for the long term then, say, David Moyes

[Rmpr 8,977]

Agree with him on the latter.

Most people on here believe that our team is very unbalanced but I disagree. Said it at the start of the season that we're probably 2 or 3 signings away from a complete squad which isn't as bad as people are trying to make it out to be.

Our team is not unbalanced? WTF?

Having no good enough midfielders nor strikers, but having 6 AMs is considered what now?

Also, our defence is already bad enough even with our starters, imagine if JT and/or Dave get injured...

Sorry, but our squad is very badly built and that is not from this season!

He will, as long as he keeps on winning at least 1 trophy each year and eventually we play good football. But a trophy less season and we all know what is going to happen.

Not so sure about that ,this time .

I doubt much have changed unless Roman's expectations have lowered. Remember this is the guy that sacked King Carlo, RDM after guiding us to one of greatest season in history. The day his expectations lowered is probably also the day he stopped buying top players for us, but then again that is gonna soon happen with FFP. I think he will allow Jose to be trophy less this season, but it will be the only one for the rest of the contract.

Read it again, I never said our team wasn't unbalanced, I said people are over exaggerating it.

Like I said, we're 2/3 ('clinical' as Jose said) signings away from having a complete squad.

Why would Roman expectations be lowered ?

There is no need for it. More like patience is required. Perhaps, Jose may not win any trophy in this season, but certainly he will make needed changes for next year. His leadership, loaned players brought in, stability achieved, I think that´s fantastic.

Finally, just maybe Jose gets to do his job in a calm way.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure AVB was actually the long term option but because he screwed up do badly he had to be sacked.

We are not 2 or 3 clinical signings away from a complete squad. More like 4 or 5!

Our last transfer window (which Mourinho was in charge, btw) was completely useless. Not only we didnt fix our long going pivot and striker problems, but we created one (despite being a good problem to have) in the AM department!

Sorry, but we have already spent too much to still have to buy 3 top players (another 60-70mi?) in order to be successful (and I dont mean trophies)...

4 or 5? Elaborate please...

I personally believe that we need another CB, another CM and another ST, but they have to be the right signings. If we had done these correctly in the summer the squad would be fine right now.

You're right in saying that we've spent too much to buy 3 more top players but what's happened has happened. It's why I was against the Willian signing; even though he's a great player - £30m on an area that didn't need investment whatsoever was pretty pointless.

4 signings - CB, CM, ST and LB to fill the void of Ashley Cole.

Fair enough.
