Apparently Mourinho wants to leave Real Madrid after bust-ups with the players etc.... Return to Stamford Bridge perhaps?

Wishful thinking yes I know :( :(

As much as it would be epic it would be a step back if you get what i mean. We have been there done that and it seems as if Roman is actually giving this lad time so lets persist with it. Jose for England manager though lets get on the bandwaggon!!!
 
Really don't see the point in loaning De Bruyne back to Genk. I have been calling out for us to sign a left winger for ages now so that we can push Mata in the middle behind Torres and with Sturridge out wide right. I know he can't play in the CL etc but still surely playing 5 months of PL games will stand him in good stead for next season rather than staying in Belgium.

Well he is behind Torres and Drogba so its not that easy for him at the moment. Im sure we will see a little more of him in the next month or so because of Drogba being away at the African nations. I think people need to stop sometimes and remember.... HE IS STILL ONLY 18 LOL.

He played in our last game... o.O

As Jacko says, he's only 18 and he was used as a pure battering ram in Belgium; it's gonna take a year or two for us to get his all round game up to scratch so can start filling the Drogba role.

He is not ready for Chelsea First-Team yet and if we keep him at the club like we are doing with Lukaku, he will not be getting any game time, best option is to loan him back to Genk where at least he wont be wasting his next 6 months playing for our reserves

Lukaku situation was different in the sense that he wanted to stay at Chelsea and learn from Drogba, now you can see his frustration at his lack of game time and with him asking for a loan next season etc.

he will be better than Harry 'MOTD' Redknapp, that goes without saying

If you had asked me last season I would've agreed without hesitation. Today, I can say that José is by far the better manager, but while he needs certain resources to work with (Essentially, money), Redknapp works well on limited resources.

thats a pretty narrow statement, Jose did an excellent Job with Leira which provided the platform for his step up to the managerial role at Porto

At Porto, he did not have many resources but went on to win the Champions League

Just because every team after that has provided him immense resources to work with does not mean you can suddenyl classify as him a manager who only does well with lots of money

Plus even having lots of money does not mean easy success, just look at Mancini...

I said essentially, not exclusively. He has made extensive use of foreign players wherever he's been (The rules regarding foreign players in Portugal are extremely lax) as well, something that you just can't do while managing a national team.

I am really excited about his potential. He also speaks very good English already so I have heard which is encouraging as he is only 18 when you see some foreign players go their whole careers in England without learning to speak the language. Also Lucas lives with David Luiz I believe so he must get alot of entertainment when at home :P.

Yes, very good English. Though, he seems to think it's not that good, but he speaks better English than some people from England that I have spoke with!

Like i say he can't be worse than Kalou or Malouda. Even if he got 10 appearences for us that would be more beneficial than playing for Genk for another 6 months when next season he will need another 6-12months bedding in.
