So mou wants to buy a new striker because torres,etoo and ba are shit? didn't know that

Dan Levene is an utter cunt. I apologise for linking to that cunt's shit twitter page and won't do it again, mainly because he's a cunt.

An absolute non-story. No wonder he writes for such a shit paper. Even the crap he makes up is unimaginative.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I wonder how much money he got from so much people clicking on that link....

I really dont want Mourinho to go crazy in the transfer window!

I would prefer to wait until the summer, have guys like Lukaku and Chalobah back and sign the right players at the right time...

If this means no title this season, whatever, I prefer to look long term.

We where supposed to go long term with KDB, Kalas and Van Ginkel this season.

One got injured, another nowhere to be seen and the other marginalized as we spend more money for players that play in the same position.

If Mourinho continues like that (spending on players instead of giving time to the younger players), there will be no long term but short term gain. No manager in the Roman era has had the balls to gamble on youth.

If you tell me Aguero has scored already 10 or 12 goals, Negredo 10 or 12 goals, Dzeko four or five, Rooney eight or 10, Giroud eight or 10, ­Sturridge eight or 10, Suarez 10 or 12,”

“If you ask me would I like my strikers to score eight, 10 or 12 goals? Yes.

“If we had eight, 10 or 12 goals, we would be top of the league. That’s a reality, but my strikers give everything and the team works hard.

I think he's leaving one name out of that list. I swear there's another striker who is amongst the top scorers in the league, but for the life of me I can't remember his name.

Can u explain your post?

He meant Lukaku.

The guy he let go on loan.

Scoring more then our strikers.

He did it last time with Huth when we had the three best centre back around, and Huth was shit.

They are playing City before the end of the year, dude.

yeah. at the etihad. so i don't think they'll gain a 7 pt gap by the end of the year

[The_Flash 1,144]

Wow someone has noticed our strikers are s***, thanks Sherlock :/

If we had a decent striker or say still had Didier we would be top of the league

[OneMoSalah 8,797]

So pissed at why he picks the same underperforming players each week. Ivanovic and Cahill have cost us points in the CL and Premier League the last month or two. Its an utter shambles, he has our best RB playing at LB, our best CB not in the team and our best #10 playing RW... I don't know anymore. The fact we struggled to get up and going for 2 games against Basel as well is very very disappointing.

I've noticed since Oscar has come out of the team due to his injury in the last few games we seem to steadily create more chances with Mata in there, I don't know if its just me or if its true or whatever but it shows what Jose and Chelsea has been missing this season, a spark in the team. We cannot defend to save our lives right now though wow holy shit.

[Strike 7,265]

i think the left-backs should come back into the team. switch azpilicueta to right back

You could look at that way, but its also possible he was only mentioning the forwards from the teams he considers to be title-challengers.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Jose would've loved Sturridge.

[Strike 7,265]

Granted we haven't looked great so far but i think We'll be a lot better in the 2nd half of the season and will challenge in the Premier League. a little optimistic it maybe but the team is taking shape. Some of Jose's ideals are getting across to the players. we're creating enough chances. apart from the basel game, we've done well recently in attack. the defence hasn't been great though and needs some changes. think having luiz back and rotating ivanovic with azpi at right-back will help.

If United and Liverpool are title-challengers, so are Everton. Jose seems embarrassed by this whole Lukaku thing which is why he acted in such a petulant manner towards Romelu in those press conferences.

We deify Jose at times, and he's an excellent coach but he's also the person who gouged an opposing coach's eye.
