Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho refuses to get down after missing out on the Chelsea star

Mourinho instead looked to the future and was happy to have secured the transfer of Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari from Portsmouth.

He told Sky Sports: "I am not the sort of manager who cries. I look forward and move on.

"I could have waited until August 31 to see what could happen, I am not that type of person.

"When we were sensing the situation was not going to happen, we made our decision and I am very happy to have Muntari.

"He is a good boy, a good player, I always like players who previously worked with good managers and he worked with one of the best in English football, so he will have learned a lot with Harry (Redknapp).

"I prefer to think about Sulley than about Frank Lampard.

"He will be in Chelsea, it is because he will be happy, and I have no more comment about it."

"Further to media reports, Chelsea Football Club can confirm we have made an offer to Real Madrid today for the transfer of Robinho," the London club said on their website.

Hoeness Blasts Abramovich - For Oil Prices

Hoeness launched an astonishing attack on the Chelsea Russian Billionaire owner blaming him for the ever increasing oil prices and even called the Russian, “mafia member”. The Bayern Chief had no clue what he was saying, declaring Chelsea the Bundesliga Champions' enemies for the high oil prices.

Hoeness claims Abramovich manages to sign players thanks to the money he ‘steals’ from people when he ‘fixes’ the price of petrol.

“I’m irritated when I have to tank up every week,” he told Spox. “Those petroleum mafias steal our money and use it to sign footballers.

“This stinks and Abramovich is part of this.

“No, he’s not my friend. Those mafias rule the entire world and manipulate petrol’s price.

“Our best revenge would be to beat teams such as Chelsea. It would be a huge satisfaction.”

Sahar Aiming High

Chelsea loaned the highly rated striker to Portsmouth to gain first team exeperience during the forth coming season giving Harry Redknapp an embarrassment of riches in the striking department.

Despite the intense competition for places, Sahar is determined to force himself into Redknapp's reckoning. The Israeli said, "Wembley would be great, especially on my birthday - and against United as well.

"Obviously I want to play every game but we have good strikers, which makes it difficult because I want to show people I can play and score a few goals.

"I'm happy to have the opportunity to fight for a place with such good players. It is not something I fear. I enjoy the competition and if I get my chance I want to make sure I take it.

"The longer pre-season has gone, the sharper I'm feeling and with big games coming up I want to be part of them as well."

Terry Ready To Face Mourinho

Mourinho became an idol during his 3 year stint in the West London winning several major trophies including two premier league titles and an F.A cup. Mourinho had an unbrakeable relationship with his untouchables which also included Terry and was respected by each n every corner of the Stamford Bridge. The charismatic Portuguese left the club during last season by 'mutual consent' following a reported brake-up with the club owner.

Terry said at the prospect of facing his former boss:

"All the lads are already saying we’ll get Inter in the Champions League and you just know we probably will meet them,"

"Jose was a top manager and someone I loved working with," he continued. "But it was a change the club made so we’ve moved on and moved forward.


When Asked on to tell the similarities and differences between Mourinho's and Scolari's coaching styles, the Blues captain said:

"Pre-season has been very different this year," he said. "Under Jose we never did any running but with Scolari we’ve had our trainers on and done 1,000 metres, which is similar to the Vialli and Ranieri style of thinking.

"Now we all feel really good and well prepared for our opener against Portsmouth.



Terry added: "Scolari understands football and the lads. I was really pleased when Peter Kenyon phoned to tell me they were going to announce his appointment.

"I first met him at a game he came to watch and chatted for 15 minutes. I was phoning people afterwards telling them that I’d met him and what a great guy he was. Then it turns out some time later that he’s our new boss."

Ranieri - I'm Still Bitter

Ranieri was infamously sacked by the Russian owner after he failed to deliver any silwerware during the 2003 season. The Stamford Bridge faithful didn't take it as a good omen and concerns were raised about the club's future in the Stanford Bridge stands.

however, Ranieri has spoken of his bitterness after 4 years. He said, "I am bitter. Before Roman Abramovich came to Chelsea, I was doing my job. I carried on doing it for him and wanted to continue. At the end I knew the players and supporters were with me even if the club was not."

On the prospect of being drawn with the Premier League and Champions League runners up, he said: "I would love to play Chelsea. I want to take Juventus to Stamford Bridge, not out of revenge or spite, but just to show the fans, players, and the club, that this is what I do now and this is the team I have built,"

Scolari - No More Cash Splash

Chelsea have been an untouchable spending force in the market when it comes to buying players for half a decade. Since the Russian oil tycoon Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003, Chelsea have forked out in excess of 500 million pounds on players, most remarkably on the acquisition of Andriy Shevchenko, slaming the British transfer record.




But the recently appointed Blues coach believes that the spending days are over as the Blues already have indispensable quality and a star studded squad. The Blues manager said: "Since I came to Chelsea we have only spent £8million on Deco. Jose Bosingwa arrived before I came."

"Now they don't need to spend as much because they already have a solid base. They need a coach to develop young players and I am that coach."
