The Chelsea F.C. Thread IV

Original post by Isometrix

I'm with you mate. It's almost like a "too good to be true" situation.

Its the excitement of him coming back and I think there's an immense amount of pressure for him to do well, with people saying he's going to be challenging for the premier league and other titles this season. Of course if it's anyone who can live up to a hype its Jose but I hope people just understand that even if he doesn't, he'll need a bit of time to mold his team and get back in to English football again.

I think Carvalho said he's going to train Essien in July, which says he's going but yeah its a matter of when not if imo.

Rumours floating around twitter that Mourinho flew into RAF Northolt tonight, to be announced as Chelsea manager tomorrow or Monday.

Also the Premier League seem to be getting ahead of themselves...?

starting to be less believable in these rumours , the day when he's supposed to get announced was originally Friday , then it was today now its tomorrow . next thing we will see will be a article in The Sun going " Source was misinformed " or something like that :frown:

I think it's more of the case of the report being leaked too early before an official statement is made. Still holding out for that moment when it's guaranteed that Mourinho will lead us out of the tunnel for the new season.

yeah that makes sense tbh - yeah haha i'll believe it 100% when i see him lead us out ! I don't think though that he will have the impact that everyone expects him to have , it will definitely be an improvement for sure but not the " surefire trophy-winning " one that people expect him to have.

Guys its essentially a done deal. Mourinho himself says he'll be named by the end of the week. Welcome home Special One!

^ That is the best thing ever. PRSOM.

It's official :cry:

Jose has returned home like the prodigal son :h:

We have to wait and see, won't be naive as the premier league has changed significantly and we haven't been near the title in 2 years!
Good for Chelsea and premier league!

Best news I've heard from Chelsea in a while. Been begging for him to return for the past few seasons and it feels like a dream to have him back. Stamford Bridge will become a fortress once again.

Pretty stoked about his return to The Bridge. I wonder now whether he'll take any of our loanee's back, Kalas, Piazon, Kakuta, PvA, Chalobah and McEachran to name a few.
