Wouldn't surprise me at all. He's been an embarrassment at times.

I think he will start next season. But he will have to win something i think or he might go next summer.

It still is not beyond possibility he is angling for rags job and that is why they haven't signed up van Gaal.

No chance in my opinion. Chelsea are running out of managers to turn to.

Hazard would be a brilliant signing but that would surely mean selling Nasri. I don't think we'll get him to be honest.

We have been short one creative player & one (quality) centre mid all season imo.

It's led to us regularly having to play players who aren't 100% fit. Nasri is often rocking from side to side when he's running in the 2nd half of games because he's so tired. Silva & Aguero keep being sent out unfit as was Negredo & even Dzeko at one point.

Of course Jovetic would have made a difference there but it's still 4 or 5 attacking players who are regularly playing when they shouldn't be, so both Jovetic plus 1 other could share that workload.

Imagine having a fully fit Silva & Aguero in every game they are picked to play ?

With regard to Hazard and Oscar, its interesting that Mourinio has identified individuals who may be match winners but who lack the willingness to "sacrifice themselves for the team" Many of us have probably had the feeling there is a similar weakness at the heart of City, that for example allows us to get done twice by Wigan, lose on several occasions v Blunderland, etc.However the fact that Mourinio is using it as a stick to beat his best players indicates to me that, like a previous manager well known to us, the craving for control has come to be more important than the end result and certainly more important than the damage inflicted in the process of making the team controllable. IMO that's what happened at Real Madrid under Mourinio. And it leaves the question of where one finds these gifted but controllable players. Terry, Lampard, Cole fitted that category but are at the end of their careers. Azpillicueta and Cahil are well regarded but are not world beaters. Is Diego Costa controllable? I doubt it.IMO it is possible Mourinio will destroy Chelsea with his own megalomania. Lets hope so, lol.

Amazingly has gone for Dzeko as player of the year ahead of Suarez.

I'm sure there's a hidden agenda here. I.e potential bud for him in the summer? Sweeten him up in the press? Why he'd want to leave however is another issue entirely.
