Дано успеем с Джон Стоунс. Млад, перспективен, национал, англичанин..... Определено има потенциала и качествата за Челси, които при една евентуална съвместна работа с Жозе, може само да доразвие. Отделно от това вече е и с достатъчно опит във ВЛ.
Доста интересни неща е казал вчера Жозе, слагайки край на спекулациите относно Погба (сравнявайки го с Айфеловата Кула
).
Montreal: Jose Mourinho is refusing to back down in his bid to sign Everton’s John Stones.
The England defender’s manager, Roberto Martinez, reacted angrily to news of Chelsea’s initial £20m (Dh114.5 million) bid, stressing that the 21-year-old is not for sale.
Martinez maintains Stones will remain at Goodison Park, but Mourinho has quickly countered, insisting the current Premier League champions have not been deterred from registering their interest.
“If tomorrow Everton comes and says ‘at the moment they say we don’t accept this bid’, they don’t say: ‘We don’t accept bids; any bids.’ While they say we don’t accept this bid, until 31 August we can improve the bid — one pound more, 10 pounds more, we can improve the bid,” said Mourinho.
“If one day Roberto or the chairman come and say he’s not for sale, we don’t accept any bid, game over. So during this process, it’s clear, we don’t deny we made a bid for Stones. It means we are trying to buy. But he’s an Everton player and I don’t like to speak.
“I don’t have to say why I like him and I don’t like to speak about players from other clubs. He is an Everton player and I don’t like to speak about players.
“We made a bid, we can make it — it’s an open market until 1 September. We didn’t make an offer on 2 September or in March, or two days before we play against Everton. We are making the bid in the period we have to make it, which is the open market.
“So until 1 September, every single one of our players can get a bid and we can make bids for players from other clubs.”
Mourinho has also defended the decision to sell Petr Cech to Arsenal. The Portuguese fully endorsed the stance of Roman Abramovich, with the Czech keeper unwilling to unroot his family from London, thus ensuring a move outside of the capital was not an option.
“I’ve said before how I feel — and this is the last time I speak about this because he is an Arsenal player now. I am lucky that I have two of the best four keepers in the Premier League. I don’t care,” said Mourinho.
“But the reality is that I understood the good thing about the decision the club made. I understand. I think it brings the club into a different dimension. It makes every player understand what this club is.
“It puts our own into a position where he is saying to everybody that man and human relation and loyalty is more important than football.
“I don’t care if he goes to Arsenal. I don’t care if he helps Arsenal win titles. I don’t care if Arsenal are title opponents to Chelsea. I don’t care.
“What I care is that this guy did everything for the club, was here 10 years; this guy last year was the second keeper and was fantastic for the team. I gave him my word. I go with my word.
“I understood his position. I was proud to be part of this culture. How many examples do we have of the opposite in football? A player who wants to leave and a club that wants to keep him, and a club that doesn’t want to let him go to another rival club?
“But what did Petr do wrong for Chelsea to say ‘In England, you don’t play’?
“I love to live in England... but sorry, in England you don’t live. I want to stay in my house in London and the kids are happy in their school... I don’t care about your kids. You go to France, go to Madrid, go wherever you want to go, but, here, you don’t stay.
“What did he do wrong for Chelsea to want to change even his personal life? Chelsea was fantastic. Without this owner I think I would’ve gone to a different perspective.
“And clearly I would say ‘no, you don’t go here’, or ‘yes, OK, you go here, but I want to negotiate with that club. But with this owner I went to the different perspective and I am more than happy.
“After that, I told the club at that time goalkeepers is not a position you can have fun with, you cannot gamble with, you can win or lose things because in one specific moment you don’t have your first keeper, and your second keeper is not good enough, and the club asked me ‘what keeper do you want?’ and I said ‘[Asmir] Begovic’, and they said ‘OK, you can have Begovic’.
“So end of story. Petr is happy. I am happy with what we have.”
He said: "Pogba is one of the top players in the world. Pogba goes to any team and improves that team automatically.
"If he stays at Juventus, Juventus will be very strong again. If he goes somewhere else he will improve immediately a team.
"This is not our case. We are changing Cech for Begovic, we are changing Didier for Falcao and we are changing kids by other kids."I think everybody has an interest in Pogba. But there are things you can do and things you cannot do.
