The Mourinho Thread

[Blue Gino 377]

In his interview about the hiring of Lailin, Jose also put to bed rumors of Chelsea trying to hijack Khedira saying he's not interested in any Real players and no more to be discussed about it.

You can never trust what he says. We were supposed to have a 'quiet' window! Do you have a link to the interview by any chance?

by "quiet" he dint mean a spurs like window!!!

any and every chelsea fan knew what we needed - a ST, a DLP and a LB. 15 days into the windiw and we have got all 3 of those. selling luiz, ba while letting go off etoo, cole, lamps was obvious. now we will be selling a lot of deadwood in mikel, kakuta, marin, ryan, pva and maybe even moses. these players are hardly first team players and no where in jose's plans. this is the bare minimum that would be expected off us.

an "unquiet" or a hustle bustle window will be like RM's where after winning a cop del ray and CL, they are selling off their best player last season (maria), a WC winner in khedira and buying players that hardly fit their system, kroos.

................................ Jose Mourinho

I feel like this is the first time in a long time we can go up against Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Bayer Munich, and they will be afraid of us as much as we will be afraid of them. What a project the board is building!

Jose:

"I have to say my club did a fantastic job, and not just because of what we bought, but because we did it in almost record time.

The transfer market closes 31 August and we close our market on July 19. We finished the market today"

You haven't learned anything from all of these years watching Jose, if you believe in that lol.

[The Skipper 20,593]

He's lying lol.

[Daniel1980 1,425]

He's not necessarily lying and is unlikely to mean it literally. He might just mean that we successfully made the most important signings that he asked for at the beginning of the summer. I don't doubt that we'll be selling and buying minor players--and maybe someone pretty big if the price is right. But the major weak areas have been strengthened with WC players, and even if we don't buy anyone else(which I doubt), this transfer market can be declared a success already. Anything else would be a nice bonus.

3 or 4 U21 players in the group.

[Pizy 18,544]

If we are done buying then at least for the first time in years we can say that we aren't starting the season thinking "all we need now in the next window is this."

We've addressed all of our needs. We don't NEED any other starting XI players.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Jose completely and expertly trolling Arsenal with the part about Cesc in that BT interview!

[Special Juan 27,616]

We still need Varane, Khedira, Pogba, Falcao and Di Maria.

Then we are done.

I don't see us buying anyone major besides those three unless we sell some players. I don't believe the rumours for Khedira, Pogba and Varane at all tbh.

Will be great if Lukaku stays with us this season, but if not, we are still short at ST. May be there is some truth in Drogba rumours. Last season Jose use all three strikers a lot, so having only two isn't sounds good.

Overall happy with Jose words, hope he will find real place in squad for some youngsters.

This seasons transfer window..

I think he'll stay, who would we buy to replace him?

[Jase 43,479]

Our midfield options are not quite enough just yet it has to be said. It's still lacking the killer punch, that bit of extra quality. Take out Matic and Fabregas (and even Ramires) and we're left with the likes of Mikel, Romeu, Chalobah, Van Ginkel etc. It's not really enough.
