I can't believe anyone takes all of Jose's statements as serious ... He is the master of handling the Media .. Tell the truth just a sufficiently large enough % of the time,

Then lie convincingly through your teeth when you need to ,, But keep the players on your side ,,,

I like the way Jose has dealt with the attacking midfield situation on the pitch.

Most standard-good manager would have probably stuck to the Mazacar, with De Bruyne immediate back up filling in when one needed a rest, with Moses and Schurrle (who was coming in regardless of who our manager was) playing the squad role. Willian would be a Tottenham.

I like that Jose pretty much sussed straight away that the Mazacar leaves us unbalanced, exposed and well to narrow, and it seems like the way forward is Willian and Schurrle in one spot, with Mazacar fighting in the other two, and the AM has a lot more of a balanced look for it.

Pro-activeness like that, is what separates the good from the great.

Also i like that he seems to have sussed that Cahill-Luiz partnership is not a good one, hench the fact it hasn't been used since Basle at home, outside of domestic cups.

The Utd job was Mourinho's to turn down, he informed Fergie over a vey nice glass of red that Chelsea was his club and London was his City after Mourinho dumped Utd out of the Champions League last season. And you will not read that in Fergie's book ,but maybe in Mourinho's after 12 years at Chelsea .

People still won't believe that.

They will say that United turned him down.

It would have been awesome if SAF had said what he thought.

Either way even with the best scenario for them is they did not seek out Mourinho and the great Man Utd gave the job to Gollum ,they were either turned down by Mourinho or let Fergie choose his mate as manager ,Fergies long term legacy could end up being he left the club with a massive debt,very dubious owners and a second rate manager.

But you remember the time when they were saying that Jose was touting for the job ,well he was not ,he was stringing Fergie along ,just as he did when he slipped on Modric in the Champions League game while Fergie was in the fourth officials ear and waving his arms around furiously failing to react, still arguing when Modric scored.

Take Jose on his word here and that is "He is where he wants to be" and he is "One of us" all the fans had to do was convince Roman who the new manager should be and the thought of him going to Utd was enough to get Roman to seal the return,Mourinho used Utd and Fergie to get the job he really wanted and last time I checked that was manager of Chelsea,he had outmanouvered Fergie for the last time.

Fergie still thinks Mourinho is his mate :D:D:D . Dictators like Fergie always meet their match and everything they had built comes crashing down very quickly,once they have been outsmarted.

And in Mourinho Fergie met his master. :dance:

Even sentiments aside, Jose is not stupid enough to have taken the united job now the state they are currently at. If anything, I was worried he would take the CIty job which would have been much easier for him. But luckily he chose the tougher job that is possibly more rewarding in the long that is building a new team here at Chelsea.

I love how the team is shaping up. His work is really starting to show!

There is only one doubt I still have and that is how he will behave in the upcoming transfer windows. I think it well tell us a lot of what his plans are...

I think he's dropped some hints that he wants to make 2 "clinical" signings - I'm assuming that's at the ST & CM positions, which is correct - it's what we need the most. If we get the right players in those positions the foundations can be set for years.

We can then start looking for a new LB and CB to replace Ashley and John.

Oh, I was talking more about the style and age of the players he wants to sign! :P

But I agree...
