I was very impressed by him.

He also mentioned that he will wait for a few days yet to get to know the strength of the squad before he decides where he needs to add.

I laughed when asked if he reguarded himself as a "special one" as Jose described himself when he first took charge.

Scolari looked the guy straight in the eye and said......."YES"..There was a few laughs, but he continued he was special to his family and friends, nothing more.

Also mentioned that JT came to his office and knocked on the door and said...."Hello I'm John Terry", Scolari I know who you are, come on in :lol:

All in all, He put himself across very well and spoke quite clear considering he was thought not to be able to speak English.

Read the transcript on the CFC website, but looking forward to seeing the full thing when i get home tonight. He comes across very well. It is no suprise that we will be waiting a while for more transfers while Scolari asseses the squad, it is likely that most activity will now happen after the Pre Season tour in early August.

Great news that Lamps wants to stay and that Scolari wants to keep Drogba too.....

All in all very positive.

The club website probably just posted up the important stuff, this remark he made was more off the cuff.

He was talking about his first day at the training ground, getting to know the players, JT came to introduce himself.

I havent seen the website content yet, but Scolari also said that a few years back he voted for JT as his player of the year, and a also Drogba 2 seasons ago and he is happy that he has both of them now as his players.

I think everyone will come away from the first interview and conference feeling very very positive. We have 2 weeks now till the first pre season game. Not sure when they actually fly out but i am sure it will be soon, possibly next week. Will anymore players be added before then? I am sure they will try, but it will be very hard. Scolari thinks that 95% to 99% of his final squad will be flying out to China/malaysia....

I dont think well add any more strikers to the squad. Drogba being named by Scolari himself as a man he wants to keep at the club and Sheva not being allowed to leave.

Defence wise were sorted, so I cant really see anything other than a bit of width being brought into the team

Dunno where Robinho would fit into the current squad if we're to go with his favoured 4-2-3-1?

Just watched the important bits on sky sports news.

I'm really pleased with what i've seen and his English is good.. even the portugese press didnt know he could speak english that well.

He says Frank Lampard stays but his agent has said his future is far from resolved
