The Mourinho Thread

[LAM09 6,814]

When Mourinho joined the club the first time, there weren't many top players in the team. What else is there to spend on now? We have 2 of the best top 5 goal keepers in the world, we have the most solid defense in the PL, a world class midfield and one of the very best strikers in the world.

Your speculation is foolish.

It not at all. If Costa gets injured, what happens then?

If we sell Cech, what happens then?

You have to be prepared for the worst scenario. You clearly aren't!

I think we are waiting to have a place for a foreign player to buy someone, that's the feeling I got watching this press conference.

Exactly.

I think mou is looking for who is available. If Dimaria/reus/benatia is available, why not?

Every manager wants to improve his side if the option is available.

There is so much talk about us being this year title winners, ruling for next 10 years said by Mourinho etc...I just hope this comments and predictions wont counter us in the end...

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

While I hope we buy another striker, I don't know how we can. We need to sell one non-HG just to make the numbers. So if someone has to come in, either it'll have to be a HG striker or we'll have to sell someone else too.

Thats why we question why they had to bring Drogba in.

[Shakez 755]

The possibility of further transfer business, either incoming or outgoing, cannot be ruled out until the closure of the window at the end of the month, but Mourinho is pleased with the players he currently has at his disposal.

‘The market is open and experience tells us all you can never say what’s going to happen,’ he stated.

^^ One last signing boys and gals ?

Neither Cech's potential sale nor Costa's injury would trigger a "spending spree" like you are suggesting. Costa's injury would probably force us to spend at max 30m on another top striker but Cech's sale will open no room for another goal keeper. Chelsea has had Schwarzer as backup for Cech for years, we can have him as backup for Courtois too.

Sign 1 more player ( CB/CM/ST ).

I am not talking about a massive spree, but improvements. If Mourinho could do what he wanted; I am sure he would be after another world class CF, CM, and CB.

Cavani, Pogba & Benatia come to mind. Certain players we have in our squad wouldn't have been present in his first spell.

We only had Schwarzer for one year...

[Heisenberg 1,824]

We only had Schwarzer for one year...

Lets say he meant Hilario.

[Korea 734]

Micah Richards?

[The Chels 2,502]

Good backup striker or bust!

[Toli 977]

Just hope we'll sign another decent striker. If Costa gets tired/injured, which happened last season with him, we'll be without a reasonable striker. And the false 9 isnt working for us at all, so please get someone in. Should have never resigned Didier in the first place, so that he would take a foreigner spot in our squad...
