The Mourinho Thread

[The_Flash 1,144]

I don't think it would be appropriate. I mean he can't be kicking or screaming to stay or he would be ?? I would love him to stay but can't see it

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Can't wait until he gets us playing his typical clinical counter-attack. We have the attacking mids to do so, hopefully Matic and a fresh Lampard give us a better defense-to-attack connenction we've missed at times. It'll be a thing of beauty.

[Strike 7,265]

Out: Mata, De Bruyne, Bertrand, Essien (?), Ba (?)

In: Matic, Salah, new defender (?), new CF (?)

Some of these have already happened and some are heavily rumoured. Mourinho turned this January window into real life Football Manager, players coming and going like crazy.

Yeah. But was such a drastic change needed in January? I would have been fine with Matic in for Kdb being the only January switch before getting in the 'clinical' signings in the summer to complete the team. With all these changes, it is somewhat of a new start at the club from February and, I don't think it was needed at all. Since Jose has always maintained low expectations for his first season, why are Chelsea suddenly very active in the January market?

KdB was going out and there's no problem with Essien moving on but the others - Bertrand, Ba(?) and Mata (to United)? There will be a nice profit in next year's books but one that was going to be there whether they were sold in January or the summer. Reshaping the squad in January was certainly not the initial plan but for some reason, Jose is making more changes to the team now than in the summer. Maybe he's been unimpressed by those players but I don't like the 'chop and change' mentality that seems to be at the club at every transfer window. In the summer, there will be more money spent on left back and striker

We've relied on Mata really on the last few seasons. In a way, we relied on Mata as much as Liverpool did Suarez and Bale to Spurs. Where would we have been last season without Juan Mata? Not in third spot anyway. Probably fifth. Wouldn't have won the Europe League last season either.

But Jose comes in and fixes all that. We're a well oiled machine. Jose deserves enormous credit for doing this. We're challenging on all fronts now, Looking like we can win the league, FA Cup and really challenge for the Champions League, which I have no doubt we will be for challenging next season and beyond.

Juan has fallen out of favour. Why? He doesn't fit Jose's system. He isn't changing his game to adapt and to be honest he's probably right not too, But unfortunately for us that will mean his departure. I will still love watching Juan, as I do every player who plays the game with such beauty, Its a shame, but Chelsea F.C comes first in this instance, and so does Jose's philosophy.

£35-40m pounds for a player who sits on our bench week in, week out? For Jose, who must have his mind made up that Mata won't fit into his plans, Is a no brainier.

Will I miss Mata? Yes, of course I will.

Does it feel good to have Jose back, Calling the transfer shots, having some balls and making us a superpower again? Of course I do.

Unbeaten against the top teams, and challenging for honours. This is the Chelsea I missed. This is Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, that won back to back titles and was robbed of a Champions League, when Juan Mata was merely a kid.

The name of the front is more important then the name on the back. Thanks for the memories Juan, but we were Chelsea before you and we'll be Chelsea after you.

In Jose we trust.

I'm really starting to HATE Mourinho now.

He deliberately plays mind games with rivals and always seems to end up on the winning side.

You think it was a coincidence that he loaned

Bertand to Aston Villa ONE DAY before our game against them? And you could say it worked for him, because Villa took points off us.

Look at the Willian transfer? We were blown away and ended up losing out to them and he looks a hell of a player. He loans us Victor Moses instead and now, we spend a month fannying around and once again Mourinho and his team gazump us and will now take Salah, leaving us with probably no back-up plan so late in the window.

It's all calculated, he's probably been planning to do this for weeks and weeks. He keeps pissing on our chips and I really want to see him get his comeuppance. angry.gif

Mourinho trolling their minds

That fella might be right. Mourinho, after all, has been poking fun at them recently with pundits being biased and Rodgers crying on decisions etc talk, even though he has a point.

[ZOS 580]

with all the yapping about how great Jose is (yeah, tell me something I don't know) and how the club should come before any single person (I could say the same thing to you, wtf!) .. none of the geniuses in here could make sense out of

• selling a great player to Manchester fucking United to help them get European football next season
• replacing him with yet an other attacking midfielder
• all these after the mancs blatantly refused to sell us Rooney

ask yourselves, would the manures have done the same if the situation was the other way around?

still expecting some idiot to tell me how great JM is ....

Lol. It won't be far from mourinho to do that you know. Getting at the scousers is fun

This press conference will be something. Ofcourse, Mata is the elephant in the room but Essien and Ba's future should also be cleared

Then we better hope that the PC will not start with saying - 'only questions regarding Stoke and the FA Cup'. We've seen that before.
