The Mourinho Thread

[LAB 1,030]

I think we have to show some trust to our manager for a change to pull off the things he is talking about and be patient even if that means next season we win nothing and finish 2nd/3rd again (but showed that we've improved to the right direction).

After all titles are not decided only by how good you are, but it matters also how good the rivals are. That definitely wasn't the case this season because we let it slip out of our own hands, but we don't know how good the others will be next season compared to us. The important thing is that we fix this season's weakness to be able to get the team playing close to how exactly Jose has in mind, and then success will arrive in time.

If we can't trust and give time Jose, who is considered one of the most legendary managers of CFC, then who else?

If he would give a chance to the young players ,, I could forgive a lot

Sign him up. Does he play in the pivot?

Stick him upfront. Can't be worse that Torres!

Thanks for reminding me that we still have Torres

We've been dreaming about Costa and Fabregas all week. It's good to get back to earth

Here's a question, how many people here feel our signings are actually Jose's? I'm a bit skeptical I feel the board is pulling the strings and forcing Jose to play a certain way...

His recent comment about Cesc is what got me thinking that way

It is clear to me that they are trying to force a more creative midfield on to Mourinho. If we get Fabregas next year I am expecting a lineup of Matic+Fabregas in central midfield. If Mourinho tries something goofy like Matic+Ramires I think they'll just trade Ramires. They might even do it before the season starts.

If that was the case then Mata, DL and KDB would have still been here.

No one is pulling the strings, but everyone is on board and working together.

You think so? You think the club is in a position to turn down 37m for Mata and 50m for Luiz? I'm sure they ask him what he thinks but I'm wondering if they're just building the squad they want(this profile/project that's being bandied about) and just telling him to make it work?

Excuse me? Are Chelsea poor?

No we sold them because they was not favorite of Mourinho. Is best to get money for someone you don't fancy.

We was doing good before those sells.

The sell help us push us further into profit.

But we was no way in risk of failing before.

borderline. We have complied but not with flying colours. Anyways even without that its a shit ton of money to turn down for 3-4 choice CB and 3-4 choice AM... You don't see those deals everyday.

You said it, 3rd choice.

He was not value by Mourinho so makes sense to sell him.

Sell them and buy players Mourinho value. Weather we can get his main target that's different.

Like he might want koke, but the price is high and the player doesn't want to come.

I understand that I'm not saying Jose wasn't consulted, just not sure these acquisitions are up to him entirely. He did say that Mata's sale was left up to Juan and he chose to go, not Jose... Luiz, honestly for that sort of money we would be retards not to take it.
