Mourinho looks for more signings despite being happy with Pedro and

“I am not happy with Ivanovic’s form, Cahill’s, Terry’s, Azpilicueta’s, Fabregas’s, Matic’s – but the first thing is I am not happy with my own form”. I’m not happy with the results. This is the start of everything.

“It is common knowledge that Manchester were in the bidding for Pedro, but Chelsea were faster; in 24 hours they reached an agreement with the club”, Sanz told Radio Club Tenerife, cited by Catalan daily Sport.

“I wouldn’t mind to go to the superstitious side of the game“, Mourinho said. “Maybe I need more action on the touchline, so I need to be fitter”. Pedro could make his debut at the Hawthorns.

Liverpool still want to sign Asier Illarramendi but the midfielder is happy to stay at Real Madrid.

The 28-year-old on Thursday signed a four-year deal after the Blues agreed a £21.4million (30 million euros) fee with Barcelona, with £2.1million of the payment being performance-related add-ons.

“For me, it was one minute”, said Mourinho, before recalling the conversation. I love it here.

“I have the idea you want to separate Ed Woodward with me. I think (it) is an evident sign of ambition”.

Further signings could follow, if the chance arises before the September 1 deadline.

Whether De Gea is reinstated to the Red Devils’ first-team squad after the transfer window closes remains to be seen.

“While the window is open there is always an opportunity”.

Chelsea’s move for Juventus star Paul Pogba hotted up as they had an opening £60million players plus cash bid rejected. Again, Mourinho refused to comment.

And Mourinho says his bid for self-improvement is now extending to the gym.

Thibaut Courtois is back from suspension and the Belgian is likely to replace Asmir Begovic in goal. Another winger, Victor Moses, could also be on the way out after failing to settle in his three years at Chelsea and spending most of the time on loan away from Stamford Bridge.

But Mourinho said Terry was withdrawn due to his lack of pace and on Friday the manager said that he may utilise quicker defenders and different formations more often. “This week we got a very good young left-back and we got one of the best attacking players in the world”.

“When the players are not free you cannot buy them because it’s the club who decides, the person who owns the contract who decides”.
