Jose Mourinho to take back some Chelsea players?
June 19, 2008
Jose Mourinho is going to war with Chelsea. He wants to sign Lampard and Drogba and is ready to swoop for former playmaker Deco as well. Jose is going to spend big and has already agreed to sign Roma midfielder Mancini for £15m.
Mourinho said…
“I’m not a nostalgic person. However, I recognise the players who have helped me win and I would never say no to signing Deco, Lampard or Drogba. I’d like to work with them again but it’s not an obsession.”
This news comes at the wrong time for Chelsea after they have been rejected by three of their transfer targets. Kaka, David Villa and Torres have rejected the chance to join the Scolari revolution. Big Phil is running out of star players to buy and he has no hope of luring Ronaldo from United. He is telling Ronaldo to go but surely, he would not go to Chelsea. It should be interesting to see who else Chelsea are going to go for.
Simon says…
I think it’s about time someone told Romans millions NO. Last year he proved you could not buy leagues and Champions Leagues and having not won the league for two years Roman is desperately trying to invest in star players. It doesn’t look like its going to work though and Chelsea could struggle again next year.
Mourinho up against old club in fight for Deco
June 10, 2008
Jose Mourinho is set to go head to head with former club Chelsea over the signing of Barcelona playmaker Deco. Barca are ready to offload Deco as they look to rebuild a new squad and restart the glory days. Deco said…
“There are only two possibilities and they are Chelsea and Inter, but I have not decided my future yet. The decision of where I play is mine. I have to meet with my agent to decide what is best. But I won’t go to a club that does not interest me and does not allow me to win titles.”
Deco has a very good relationship with Jose Mourinho so that could persuade him towards Inter. However with Portuguese players like Carvalho, Ferreira and Hilario at Chelsea and Portuguese manager Phil Scolari big favourite to take over Chelsea he could be persuaded there.
With Deco a possible signing for Chelsea this could push out Frank Lampard and mean a possible reunion with former manager Jose Mourinho. Jose has had his eyes on a couple of Chelsea players and Chelsea targets and he looks set to fight his old club over more than one player.
Mourinho signs on for Inter Milan
June 3, 2008
Jose Mourinho has signed a three-year contract with Italian giant’s Inter Milan. The Portuguese miastro has also promised to keep the same style he did at Chelsea and FC Porto. So we can all except outburst’s from “the special one” and im sure everyone is looking forward to it.
What did Mourinho say after his appointment..?
“For me this is a very important challenge but I believe that it could be very enjoyable also for the media too. I am Mourinho - period. I have arrived to a special club and I believe I am a great coach but I don’t want to be special.
Mourinho’s transfer targets..?
This signing by Inter will worry Chelsea, the Blue’s are bracing themselves for Mourinho to take back some of his old players. Michael Essien leads the list along with Frank Lampard,Ricardo Carvalho and want away striker Didier Drogba. Inter Milan insist they are not excepting a completly knew squad but with Etoo and Deco also being tracked by Inter there is going to be a lot of movement in the Italian capital.
Avram blasts Mourinho
May 28, 2008
Avram Grant has amazingly told Jose Mourinho that Chelsea would have won the league if he had taken over sooner from the ”special one” .
The Israeli said..
“If Chelsea played at the start of the season like they did at the end of the season then they would have easily beaten Man Utd to the title and they would be Champions of England”. He continued by saying..”over the last three months of the season with me working as manager, we were never called boring Chelsea. No one expected Chelsea to win anything and when i took over we were in 5th position and had drew with Rosenborg in the Champions League”.
Earliar in the week Mourinho had branded Avram a loser and stated that he deserved to be sacked beacause 2nd place isnt good enough. It clearly angered Grant and he let off a bit of steam. He also said he would not sue Chelsea and that he was very good friends with Roman Abramovich.
