Mourinho being a *** to the media. Rather stupid considering the pressure he is under to alienate journo's
Predictably, Dan Levene has backtracked on his earlier story of Mourinho getting the sack
From what I gathered, Jose's main targets were Stones, Griezzmann and Pogba. Only Pogba is really a fanciful notion out of those 3. Griezmann didn't want to move and board completely ****** up chase for Stones and Pogba
If anything, this season should be a lesson to other clubs. No matter how many trophies you win last season, you have to continuously improve and cannot afford to rest on your laurels
Griezmann wasn't going to move before the Euros. Everton managed to have the balls to say no to Stones tbf. Not helped by Chelsea ******* off the club. Pogba was an 80m deal and the club never got close.
The extent of the Chelsea manager’s anger is revealed in Moss’s report, which the FA reproduced on Friday.
“When myself and my colleagues left the field of play at half-time, as we entered the tunnel area to get to our dressing room, Mr Mourinho, the Chelsea manager, was waiting for us clearly agitated and began aggressively asking about first-half decisions,” Moss says.
“Rather than publicly speak to him I asked him to step into the entrance of my dressing room escorted by Simon Sutton, the West Ham United security manager. Mr Mourinho asked me about a tackle, an offside and a goal-line clearance. I gave him brief answers to his questions.
“After this I asked him to leave the dressing room area. He refused. I asked him again. After he refused again I asked Mr Sutton to escort him from the room. At this point Mr Mourinho became very aggressive and animated. He shouted that ‘You f------ referees are weak... [Arsenal manager Arsène] Wenger is right about you … you are f------ weak’.
“I advised Mr Mourinho not to take his position in the technical area for the second half due to his actions.”
The problem was that even when he decided to go in for Pogba, we went so late into the window that any slim chance we had of concluding the deal was completely extinguished
At least if we went in early for him, we could have tried to negotiate and if the money was too much, still have plenty of time to secure other targets like City did. Instead we dithered and then tried to go all in last week of the window for Stones and Pogba and ended up with the superstar that is Papy Djilobodji
Poor Baba has been run ragged this evening.Both Baba and Azpilicueta are starting. There is a god
I hate Chelsea but I really feel sorry for them right now...
Why? They sure as heck wouldn't if this were Arsenal. Or anyone else for that matter.

Couldn't have happen to a nicer club.
