The Mourinho Thread

[bushman 2,043]

U dn want him spending 60 mill to boost his squad..although he says all he needs r those few additions to have a complete team...whos being stupid mate

I see, you might be one of those difficult splinters here.

Let me simplify it for you. Either you post something worth to respond to or say bye bye.

Your choice.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Yeah, but we've spent around 300M pounds net since we last won the league. The fact that we still need a few signings (and probably another 50M+ pounds) is ridiculous because we've spent what, about 10X the net league average in that period. We should have been easily able to build a complete team and then some. I was hoping for a new sort of model that can build a squad in a better way but we seem to be doing the same thing we've always done under Roman which is just throw money at a wall and see what sticks. Eventually we will get the winning formula (buy enough players) and win, but winning like this is a little hollow.

The new thing is that now, mourinho will be the one ordering for which players to buy. He knows exactly the type of team he wants. So now we will buy exactly what our coach wants for the future of our club and not tiny attacking midfielders all over again

A physical striker and defender are what the manger wants and will get.

Agreed. We've spent an absolute fortune and still have an unbalanced, underperforming squad that mostly plays rubbish football.

Well, 2 or 3 signings in the summer, represents around 60 or more millions.

Well, what´s there to add here ? Not much. Roman & more money. Hoping for the best again. LOL.

Chelsea will likely be getting rid of KDB, Ba, Eto and Torres. Add to that the likelihood of Mata and David Luiz being sold too.

Mourinho can get the squad he wants and not only will Abramovich not have to spend a single penny, perhaps he'll even be making a profit.

Building =/= Rebuilding.

Joke's on you troll.

It is bad, and some signings like the Torres one are going to just have to be written off to a large extent. There are some bright spots though. A fair few signings will have increased in value like KDB, Courtois, Luiz, Mata, possibly Ba and Azpi. If we actually cashed in on the likes of Mata and Luiz then we could probably strengthen the areas we need to.

That to me is the difference - the signings we've made have value after we're 'done with them'.

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

So long as we get a central midfielder in January I won't mind whether we get a striker or a centre half. Our CM is the weakest link in the team and it's costing us offensively and defensively.

[Tomo 21,733]

Agreed. We've spent an absolute fortune and still have an unbalanced, underperforming squad that mostly plays rubbish football.

That is mainly down to different managers, different direction's, focusing on certain position's while neglecting others. It's not an excuse, but that's what happens when we have kept changing tact. I hope in the future we focus on position's that need strengthening, knowing us we will go and collect every centre midfield in the market now

But on the flip side young players off the quality and potential off Hazard and Oscar aren't available every year, and sometimes you just need to snap them up. If we didn't get them they would be at a rival ripping us apart for the next 10 years.

[Tomo 21,733]

Southampton away on 1st as well...Arsenal, Swansea, Liverpool, Southampton, that could easily be 4 loses on the trot.

When was the last time any team near the top lost 4 on the trot? not even Liverpool under Roy did.

Also Swansea have been bang average since they have won the Carling Cup, even i would get seriously concerned if we lost that one.

I see, you have not learned anything for the past week or so.

Mumbo jumbo.

Jose: I want to be like old foe Wenger and stay at Chelsea for 12 years

Would answer the 'stability' problems we've had

But, Buck said the same thing about AVB being our 'long-term' manager, so we can't really speculate. Would prefer someone like Jose at the helm of the club for the long term then, say, David Moyes

[Rmpr 8,977]

Agree with him on the latter.

Most people on here believe that our team is very unbalanced but I disagree. Said it at the start of the season that we're probably 2 or 3 signings away from a complete squad which isn't as bad as people are trying to make it out to be.

Our team is not unbalanced? WTF?

Having no good enough midfielders nor strikers, but having 6 AMs is considered what now?

Also, our defence is already bad enough even with our starters, imagine if JT and/or Dave get injured...

Sorry, but our squad is very badly built and that is not from this season!

He will, as long as he keeps on winning at least 1 trophy each year and eventually we play good football. But a trophy less season and we all know what is going to happen.

Not so sure about that ,this time .

I doubt much have changed unless Roman's expectations have lowered. Remember this is the guy that sacked King Carlo, RDM after guiding us to one of greatest season in history. The day his expectations lowered is probably also the day he stopped buying top players for us, but then again that is gonna soon happen with FFP. I think he will allow Jose to be trophy less this season, but it will be the only one for the rest of the contract.

Read it again, I never said our team wasn't unbalanced, I said people are over exaggerating it.

Like I said, we're 2/3 ('clinical' as Jose said) signings away from having a complete squad.
