I dun feel like putting my usual start lines so I'll go straight to the blog.
The EPL has hotted up due to Mourinho's usual stupidity, the poor performances of players who should not have gone to Chelsea and the resulting pressure exerted on themselves. Mourinho is a great manager. He has the best tactics and man managements skills among the EPL managers if not 1 of the best. His weakness lies in the fact that he doesnt understand the English game. Arrogance by the way is typical in the EPL. Fergie and Wenger possessed it.
Chelsea's greatness now is due to the purcheases of Raneiri and Vialli. Both bought the current backbone of Chelsea. Terry, Lampard, Joe Cole, Robben, Cech, Gallas, Makelele, Gudjohnsen and Duff. All these players where there when Mourinho came. What did he buy? Ferreria, Tiago, Carvalho, Kezman, Drogba, Essien, Del Horno, SWP and Diarra. Only Paulo F. and Carvaho are good enough to play for Chelsea. Diarra is still young and so is Essien. Kez and Tiago decided that they should play elsewhere and now are performing above average. That leaves SWP, Drogba and Del Horno. Del Horno is not bad but for the amount paid they probably could have bought a better English player.
The infamous Didier Drogba, costing Abramovic 26million pounds (78 million Sing dollars). For nearly four times less, they could have bought Peter Crouch. With that amount, they could buy Andy Johnson and have some cash left to buy an upcoming English youngster. One would expect a player costing the nett worth of a small company to play like Ronaldo or Eto'o. Alas, he plays like Peter Crouch, gets into the headlines for imitating Cristiano Ronaldo or Van Nistelrroy and says the team has not character. Since he dislikes playing for Chelsea so much, he should go back to France and play there. Maybe with the transfer fee they get from selling him, they can buy a good striker from the D1 clubs. 10 million for a striker who can top the scorers list in the EPL is money well spent. Yes, Andy Johnson comes to mind. If Pool, is gonna get rid of Fowler, Chelsea could sign him. At least, he can score and keeps his head down when trouble comes a knocking.
SWP. A great English player. Pity, he was a great player, last year. This year, he is like Drogba. Diver, Cheater, Flop and Money Wasted. I feel that for the good of England, he should either return to Man City or go to Boro. He is still a fantastic young man and should not waste his future in Chelsea.
Finally, comes Maniche. Not yet a Chelsea player because he is there on loan. If Mourinho thinks he is good, he should think of the Chelsea - West Ham match. Maniche got sent off after Chelsea went 1 goal down. After he left and had his shower, Chelsea scored 2 in 2 minutes thanks to Drogba and Crespo. In simple terms, Maniche is a jinx. he should go back to Portugal where he can be hailed a great player.
One player I have yet to mention: Hernan Jorge Crespo. A great goal poacher much the opposite of Maniche. He leaves the picth and Pool score 3 against Milan. I wouldnt say he is lousy. He has proven to be a great player for a long time. My belief is that he should return to Serie A and end his career there. That would be a fairy tale ending to his career. Chelsea should sell him to get some cash and buy a decent youngster for the future.
An important person Chelsea should now buy is Claudio Raneiri. No, he is too old to play but he has an eye for talent. Make him the transfer consutlant cum chief scout. that would solve Chelsea's transfer problems. Saves money and makes Chelsea a world class team.
