OhForAGreavsie 6,091 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Maybe. Maybe not.Think it was the right thing to happen when Mourinho left the time he did in 2007. It allowed him to gain experience in different leagues and even he wanted to win the 3 main leagues. If he hadn't been sacked then, he would have probably left at some point and the timeline of events may have turned out differently to the one we've experienced.I completely agree with this.We undermined Jose first time around by filling his squad with substandard players and then demanded that he produce successful, stylish football. It was frankly immature leadership by the club but I hope we've grown up a bit since then. (In that regard Cuadrado worries me. I do not believe he was Jose's signing as he has the hallmark of the kind of player we burdened JM with before. Let's hope that those of us who have this feeling are wrong and that Juan finds a way to contribute in future.)Having a great manager improves a side's prospects no end but, in the end, to sustain great success requires players who are up to the task.

Think he mentioned somewhere about getting 1-2 new players, although I suspect there might be slightly more than that.i think he meant 1-2 new "additions". while others would be replacements for the ones that leave (green for cech, bamford for DD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Sheva really was not an outstanding player at the time of his purchase by Chelsea. Anyone who watched him at the world cup of 2006, during which he was frankly useless, would have seen that he was finished. This just reinforces your point that we did not build on success back then. We had the biggest budget in world football but made appallingly bad use of it. We must do better this time and with a, relatively, smaller budget too.Fair and good points. Must admit i didn't take any notice of Sheva in the World Cup. Suppose his reputation was bigger then his actual talent. He was always a yard off the pace.

Get the heck out of here. Only the good buy we say is him and the bad not him, your ridiculous. No one can ever be perfect and bound to screw up here and there.

We might get confirmation of the truth at some point, or we might not. Until then speculation is legitimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special 59 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 8th league title of his career. Or maybe he meant his 8th trophy at Chelsea? I remember after the 2007 FA Cup Final he kept showing number six, his 6th trophy at the Bridge.Both can be true.He showed 6 when he won FA Cup and he showed 7 when he won La Liga.

Term-X 7,891 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Shame he refused to touch the trophy during the celebrations.

OhForAGreavsie 6,091 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Fabregas is also not a "Jose type player"....Seriously ridicules excuse. He screwed up end of fact. Can't make all your transfer be an ace. The cases are different. Cuadrado may very well have been a Jose signing but, although you are reluctant to accept it, the evidence does admit the interpretation I've put on it. Consider not just what Jose has said about why he wanted Matic, Cesc & Costa but consider also how and when he said it. If there is any equivalent interview about Cuadrado I'm not aware of it.I say again, I do not believe that Cuadrado was bought on Jose's recommendation and that opinion has nothing to do with whether the player is or isn't a good signing.

He was the boss and always maintained that relation with his players. Jose is more than that to players. In the last stint he was more or less the same age as the players so he wanted to celebrate like them, now they're like his kids and he's rather let them have their fun while he enjoys from a distance.Does that make him a tiny bit less motivated to win trophies, maybe, but he's obviously still incredibly good at just that. didierforever and Viper22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
