The Mourinho Thread

I would love suarez here, .00001% of it happening though. We should have broke the bank for Lewa when we had the chance.

I know isn't attainable, but he's still the guy I'd want.

God I can't wait for the new season.

Agreed, there was a time we could have had Tevez as well, and Ruud as well come to that. Hindsight is wonderful

With the sales we have made this year we might finally be getting our hands on the elusive balance sheet trophy

Jose Mourinho says he doesn't know if Chelsea will finish first or sixth next season and hints at more signings as he looks to 'rebuild' trophyless Blues

What the heck?

Last season he was saying we will be title challengers from the go, and now he's changing his tune?

Hmmmmm

[Pizy 18,878]

Hopefully he's just waiting until we've made all of our signings before he starts talking about a title challenge.

Not exactly what you want to hear as a supporter, is it?

Knowing Mourinho, you shouldn't trust what he says in the public. Behind doors, am sure he's thinking of the opposite when it comes to things like this.

[Special Juan 28,134]

Sack him.

Yep.

I completely agree with his point about the league being even tougher this season but in my opinion finishing any lower than 2nd and by any more than 3-4 points behind the champion is a failure.

He knows we are still , even with the potential signing of Costa,Luis and Fabregas, below Man city in terms of quality. when people say things like "things will make Chelsea title favourites for next season now" I can't help but just laugh hysterically.

If Mancity buys one or two top quality defenders it wouldn't even be up for debate at all. It's their rather shaky defence owing to Kompany's decline and Nastasic injury record and Aguero's injury problems that makes the gap look closer than it should be in reality.

Toure,Silva,Fernandinho,Aguero,Zabaletta, Nasri and kompany (when on form, he's one of best defenders in Europe) are as good as it gets in terms of starting 11 quality goes and they still have players like Dzeko,Negredo,Sagna,Milner on the bench. I still have city down as fabourites for next season and barring another injury ravaged season for aguero, Kompany having another subpar season and Yaya Toure possibly leaving or causing dressing room unrest, they should walk the league.

However football isn't played on paper and that's why we have a chance to win the league next season.

If you don't win the title, does it really matter if you finish 2nd?

[Pizy 18,878]

If you don't win the title, does it really matter if you finish 2nd?

Well yeah, it sort of does in my opinion. Finishing 3rd for 3 consecutive seasons would show stagnation. That we have enough to compete for the title but don't have enough to win it.

To finish 2nd, at least psychologically, you could reason that we made improvement. If we don't win the title but finish 2nd, win the FA Cup and make it at least as far as we did in the CL last season then I wouldn't be THAT upset.

[Fernando 6,585]

If you don't win the title, does it really matter if you finish 2nd?

I think what matters is improvement.

So finishing 6th is not acceptable!
