The press love Jose Mourinho. He always has some thing to say. And whatever he says, he says it without adjectives to reduce the effect of his remarks. He says them point blank. And the fact that Mourinho has had a superb record and is the manager of current English Premiership Champions Chelsea means that Mourinho will always have a lot of newsprint dedicated to him.

Yahoo Sports quotes Mourinho:

To be fair I think we are the best team in history, because we beat the record (number of points in a Premier League season).

Can Chelsea say they are the best side in the world even currently with Barcelona, making rapid sides last season(and now aquiring Van Bommel), Juventus and AC Milan playing wonderful football? After Chelsea win a few more titles we may think of going into the best in history debate. Thank got Roger Federer doesnt speak like Mourinho for that could lead to a scary scenario.

Mourinho doesnt stop obviously:

Chelsea in the future won’t need this kind of budget. I have a five-year contract and I’ll bet that in my last year we won’t buy a single player. Next season, we’ll buy maybe two or three; the season after, one or two; and the next season we’ll buy one and after that we won’t need any new players.

And what will after your contract runs out Mr. Mourinho or in the 6 th. 7th and 8th year even if you dont leave? Will the team not require shuffling considering players are merely mortals and even the best fade out some time and new players need to be aquired? Why should we care. We have the purse and the short 5 year term in mind. Lets keep shopping till then.
