PLEASE JOSE MAKE THIS HAPPEN! PLEASE!

[Tomo 21,685]

Regarding the formation talk for this season i am thinking Jose won't be using 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3.

He always like's to be one step ahead off the opposition, which is why he introduced 4-3-3 the last time while every one else was still stuck in their 4-4-2 ways.

Mourinho will try something to get a step ahead of the opposition again, the question is, what?

True but the thing now is, managers, coaches, football staffs, players are much more adaptable in England in regards to tactics and formations as compared to last time when people stuck rigidly to 4-4-2 and allowed Mourinho to cash in on that. The issue now is about introducting a new formation to surprise people or be one step ahead of the the opposition but establish a system(or systems) that can bring out the best in our players in an attempt to be a dominant force in England, like we were last time under Mourinho.

i think it will still be a 4-2-3-1 with slight variations. It will be interesting to see what roles he has pegged for Mata, de Bruyne and Oscar.

No. I think it won't end well if Drogba comes back

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

Aitor Karanka was released from Real Madrid today, according to AS. Wonder, if he'll end up with Mourinho at Chelsea. At least, Jose wanted to take him to Chelsea before.

Mourinho is set to be joined at Chelsea by assistant Aitor Karanka, who departed Real Madrid on Monday with a year left on his contract.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Interesting.

[Barbara 15,149]

I really like Aitor and I didn't understand why he stayed in RM when Mou left... which is why I'm not sure he'll join Mou.

Rui and Aitor were like the guys he trusted the most in the past few years, so if when he left Aitor stayed - unless it was RM call - I don't see why he'd join us now

I hope he does though

Karanka was the inside man at Real Madrid like Steve Clarke at Chelsea and Baresi at Inter. Not one of Mourinho's loyal coaches. Not sure about this.

Seems like that's a pure speculation by media, as always.

Mirror reports Aitor Karanka will join Mourinho at Stamford Bridge.

[xPetrCechx 13,548]

Jose Mourinho will reportedly make a decision on whether to keep Hilario at Chelsea for another season this week.

[iceboy 992]

As a third keeper.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Just the media putting 2 and 2 together.

Taking swipes at Benitez's 'achievement'?

He's absolutely right but it has nothing to do with the FSW, he's talking about what our ambitions should be.
