Mourinho Watch

It was over for Watford when he and Vydra went off. I still think Chalobah will go on another season long loan.

 

He warrants game time, and there's no certainty he'll get it with Lampard, Ramires and Mikel in there, and maybe Luiz as well.

Be interesting to see how he sets the team up...I've got a sneaky he'll get Romelu back in the fold, and will **** Torres off.

 

I've just been reading about some of the issues that have been dogging the contractural negotiations and they focus on Michael Emanelo, Romans spy in the camp and the one who has to endorse player movements! Jose as we know likes to have a big steer on signings and there has to be a set rules of engagement if he's going to sign on the dotted line!

 

And Ake, and Essien and Romeu!!

Chalobah looks a talent but like many of our youth products, think they maybe need another season at a higher level. Would like Chalobah and Josh perhaps to go to midtable premier league clubs next year to cut their teeth further. As I see it, Lampard and Essien are both out of contract in a years time and these 2 could maybe be the ready made replacements with a bit more expereince.

 

Agreed. Maybe a midtable club like Liverpool could help develop him for us.

 

Forgot about them!

I'll give you Romeu, not sure about Ake and reckon Essien may have had it in the Prem...I stand to be proven wrong of course

 

Torres has no future under Jose. He will want to stamp his authority on his side and that will no doubt be one of the conditions in the contract.

When (ex) players start publicly praising incoming managers it means

1) They are in contact with them and trying to speed up negotiations I.e Lampard, Drogba, Cech etc

2) They are fearing for their future I.e Torres

It won't be easy but Torres will go, wages will be the stumbling block unless Monaco, PSG or Anzhi come in.

He's signed

 

Swansea would be my preference.

 

What I said was tongue in cheek hence the 'lol' , I don't read any newspapers, so not a clue who the journalists are. I'm like a kid at Christmas atm, 99% sure I'll get my present but just need the confirmation on the day to actually believe it.

 

Just re-read my post. Didn't mean to come across as aggressive if I did

 

Karanka - Jose's assistant manager - has confirmed he is joining us on Sunday/Monday. That's pretty much all the confirmation we can get until the club announce it over the weekend.

 

Nah you didn't come across as aggressive to me, its difficult in text, emails etc as sometimes can be read wrong so I understand what you mean. I tend to over use emoticons because of this, but some posters hate them.
It was also some good info you gave re journalists as well.

Story embargoed til mañana

 

stick sky sports news on if you can guys, madrid president has told them Mourinho is returning to Chelsea.

 

the club has to give us a yes or no answer today this is becoming a circus

 

Can't see it being announced till tomorrow.

 

DAVID LUIZ moved a step closer to the Chelsea exit door last night.

The Brazilian star repeatedly refused to speak about his Stamford Bridge future and whether he will be at the club next season.

Versatile Luiz, set to face England tonight, is a £35million target for Barcelona and Napoli.

He said: “I really don’t want to talk about my future. At the moment I am only thinking about the national team.”

And he bristled when asked if he was looking forward to working with new Chelsea chief Jose Mourinho, adding: “I don’t want to answer that question.”

After tonight’s game, Luiz has another friendly against France before the Confederations Cup

Luiz really is leaving, isn't he?

 

No chance. Just the media trying to divide the fanbase and turn the fans against Mourinho, which won't happen. We aren't a selling club, never have been.

 

He's in the UK and Perez has stated he's on his way to Chelsea.

Prem league put up the article earlier with tomorrow's date on...Monday announcement for sure.
