Sometimes I ask myself about the future, continued Mourinho, considering what is important in the game these days.

Maybe the future of football is a beautiful green grass carpet, without goals. On that beautiful grass pitch the team with more ball possession wins the game.

People say my team played fantastically well, we had great ball possession. Good.

But it looks like the goals are not there. Its a big contradiction. Sometimes you speak about a team like us who have scored so many goals being boring, but you dont consider a team that has 70 per cent of the ball possession but cannot win the game boring.

I ask myself in the future, when I am a granddad at home with my grandsons, maybe football will be played without goals, and we will just enjoy seeing people passing the ball. Maybe to put the ball into the net wont be an objective, and maybe stopping the ball going into your own goal wont matter.

For me, Im simple in my analysis: football is about putting the ball in the net of your opponent and stopping the other team putting the ball in your net.

Spot on (As always ) by Jose.

Exactly, I don't understand why people think it's their God given right to watch beautiful football. It's all about winning games and trophies and Mourinho makes it happen year after year. We done our good stuff up until Janaury, then sustained some injuries and are now just getting across the finish line. People act like we're the only club to do this when winning the title, well we aren't. The arsenal Bpl invincibles had 12 draws in their season including something like 5 0-0 draws and 6 1-1 draws I don't think that's very entertaining.

Senate wrote Can't wait for the transfer window this year. Got a feeling one of the top 4 teams will pull of a spectacular signing.

Let me guess , Thats manchester united right?

Certainly cant see us getting a big player , We might get a cuadrado / just above cuadrado type of player but dont see us going for a pogba / bale kind of signing.

Apperently Oscar is leaving , If he is should expect around 35-40M for him and i think someone like Koke would be a good signing , Though id prefer Oscar stay.

Jose said the other day "Will 100M be enough for Hazard?" "And one of (Reals) 3 best players , 100M for each leg" honestly cant see him leaving and dont see where we need to improve really , Unless we can get a signing like Varane , Khederia maybe on a free.

He wants 200m+Bale/Ronaldo for Hazard. I think our biggest signing of the summer will be Hummels, not expecting anything bigger. Would love Bale + Depay but don't see us doing anything spectacular. Was thinking more along the lines of City/Chelsea.
