I'll make Real Madrid the new Chelsea, claims Jose Mourinho
QUOTE Jose Mourinho makes his competitive debut as Real Madrid coach today in Mallorca, promising to leave a Chelsea-style legacy. The former Stamford Bridge manager said: 'I want to install a philosophy in Madrid that future coaches will only ever have to upgrade. 'I'm very proud to see Chelsea still winning. I like to leave my mark at the clubs where I work. Ancelotti has found everything in place - good working conditions, the right working mentality, a squad that is good for 10 years. He just needs to add a new player here and there and his own ideas.' Food for thought. |

In Mourinho's era, on a good day, the max we will score is 4. After that we will shut up shop. At one point when we were having a decent run of goal-scoring form, the fans chanted 'We only ever win 4-0'.

Of course he will be impartial towards the team that he supports. met shebby singh last friday while i was walking in a mall in sg.. approached him and then ask him what he thinks of our good start to the season.. as usual with his anti chels antics he said though we started well eventually we'll lose steam n bla bla bla.. then he started talking bout how good his tottenham was winning 4-0 against those young boys... see see last nite they lose 1-0 against the team we hammered 6-0 at HOME... i believe this is KARMA!!!!! |

It's a pity Di Santo has to bid farewell to us eventually. I think it's inevitable given the limited time for him to impress. Seasoned Chelsea supporters will know time is surely not a luxury that we can afford to have since year 2004.

Football players and sex. They just go hand in hand isn't it? It's a shame that when you have so much money, you think you can just do anything and get away with it.
Be it JT or Rooney, there's nothing new there. I will just stick to the football side of things. We pay good money to watch them play good football and whatever happens off the pitch, it's their business. This post has been edited by plokoon: Sep 5 2010, 10:02 PM |

Lampard will sit out tonight's match and JT will slot back right into the squad after a full rest on his hammy.
Carlo won last month's Barclays Manager of the Month Award by the way. With two back 2 back 6-0, it's a no brainer really. Congrats Carlo! This post has been edited by plokoon: Sep 11 2010, 05:51 PM |

Not our usual best today. I think you can see that the boys slowed down a gear or two after netting the 2 goals. West Ham had the better possession with the ball and we were left to chase the ball around. I'm thankful we got the 3rd before we conceded our 1st goal this season, it could be a different ball game if the score was 1-2. What a way to concede a goal by the way! Ex-Chelsea player, Scott Parker. Quite a cheeky lob that.

Chelsea feeling the pinch: Big-spending days are over, admits Abramovich
QUOTE Champions Chelsea have been told that the club's big-spending days are over and that billionaire owner Roman Abramovich will no longer bankroll multi-million-pound transfers or bumper contracts. Some players have had bonus payments reduced - effectively a pay cut - and been told that there will be no major signings in the future unless the club generate the money to pay for them. The players were called to a meeting at the club's Cobham training ground where they were addressed by chief executive Ron Gourlay and chairman Bruce Buck.The executives spelled out the message from Abramovich that the club have to live within their means and that cutbacks are necessary. Players who signed contracts before 2009 still have win bonuses guaranteed but most contracts signed since last year have them guaranteed only on a season-by-season basis and bonuses have been cut back this year.Coaching staff and catering costs at Cobham have also been slashed.It is a far cry from Abramovich's early days in English football when he spent £230million in two years after taking over Chelsea in 2003. That spree included the capture of £24m Michael Essien, £23m Didier Drogba and £20m Ricardo Carvalho as well as less successful signings, such as £17m Hernan Crespo, £17m Damien Duff, £16m Adrian Mutu and £15m Juan Sebastian Veron.Under the new, strict regime, indulgences such as the decision by Abramovich himself to spend £31m on Andriy Shevchenko in 2006, even though then manager Jose Mourinho did not want him, will not be repeated. Chelsea have been relatively frugal in the transfer market, with major signings now limited to one per season, including the £16m capture of Ramires last month. The 23-year-old Brazil midfielder is understood to be on wages of approximately £1m a year, which will help to drive down Chelsea's wage bill. The policy is consistent with the rhetoric of Chelsea's owners and former chief executive Peter Kenyon, who had claimed the club would be self-sufficient by 2010, although he subsequently revised the deadline to 2012. Despite a well-publicised move to convert Chelsea's debts to Abramovich into stock, the Russian oligarch is still owed £726m by the club's holding company, Fordstam. Chelsea have made a staggering £493m of losses since the Russian took over the club, including a record loss of £140.2m in 2005.Since then they have steadily reduced spending, the 2009 accounts showing losses down to £44.5m. |

QUOTE(krk24 @ Sep 19 2010, 06:12 PM) from chelsea soccer schools...some parents (foreign) send their kids to soccer school there where it started...or maybe they scout with UK schools who are active in soccer. But that's only part of the puzzle. Most of the time you need to look beyond your own backyard in order to compete effectively. Roman only said 'big-spending' days are over. He doesn't mean 'spending' days are over. Transfers will go on as usual but it's just that there will not be Shevchenko-ish signing in the future anymore. |

I think the decision to retain the 'spine' of the team and adding 1-2 new players per season is certainly reaping its benefits. Bear in mind, this is the team where the majority of the players have been playing with each other since 2007. The chemistry and understanding between the players which was built throughout season 07/10 has culminated with us winning 2 FA Cups and the Premier League in the past 2 years.
The boys are certainly hitting peak form since last year and this could well be the final season where we can really challenge for the Champions League. I share the same sentiment as JT in which he said he wouldn't die happy if Chelsea did not win UCL when he is still in the team. |
