Mourinho Prefers Koke, Pogba Over F

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Wed Jun 4, 2014 12:58 am

José Mourinho doesn't have the same enthusiasm to acquire Cesc Fàbregas as the Chelsea board seems to possess.

Chelsea sold Juan Mata to Manchester United in January, indicating that Mourinho does not always value players in the small, playmaking role. Mourinho feels Oscar already meets that requirement in midfield and prefers a move for Koke of Atlético Madrid or Paul Pogba of Juventus.

Fàbregas and Mourinho have had issues in the past.

Mourinho is a very "interesting" manager, I feel as if Chelsea is moving backwards with some of these moves he is making.

He probably wants a stud defender at the CM position. Oscar is also way above average defensively forthe AM position. No surprise that he wants to rebuild the strong defensive culture Madrid didn't allow him to do. I'm not exactly sold on Matic, though.

Matic is amazing. Size, strength, technique, doesn't panic on the ball. He's got it all for a defensive midfielder. Of course it takes more than half a season to be fully integrated in a team, though.
Not as good as Yaya Toure but still he is damn good.
