Which teams are interested in Jovetic? Pure class. {Ed002's Note - Jovetic was very clearly the primary target for Manchester City next summer and until recent comments from the player and his agent that he does not want to leave Italy, I could certainly see that happening. However, Manchester City will continue to look to the player. The clear alternatives are Arsenal, PSG, Inter Milan and Juventus who have very clear targets and a significant budget to buy a player to play off their main striker. Juventus have identified three possible players - and Jovetic is one, but Fiorentina would rather not sell to Juventus.}

Hi Ed, I hope you are well, it seems that the Jose rumour mill is in overdrive today, my question is about Jose situation, but also a a more general question, so it could be about any manager in this day and age.
You stated before that Jose was not being sacked by Real Madrid, and so I gather his contract has a few years left (or maybe it is up at the end of the season?) if he and chelsea had agreed a provisional contract (or any manager in this case) would this not be a breach of contract, as Madrid had not given him permission to talk to a club! With players his would be "tapping up" and chelsea would be in trouble (I. e. Ashley cole) so my question is does the same apply for managers as for players.
Terence {Ed002's Note - There is no "provisional contract" - Mourinho is employed by someone else. If Chelsea had a contract with him, then the club owe compensation to Real Madrid. How would it be if Mata today agreed a "provisional contract" with Barcelona?}
Mata's going to Barcelona? Great, he's been our best player for two seasons now.
Ed002, is it possible to reach an agreement in verbal form rather than the written form with an other party, in this case being José Mourinho. Could Chelsea have reached a "provisional" verbal agreement with Mourinho or, as suspected, there is absolutely nothing to the latest rumours but a case of teasing on the behalf of Mourinho?Thanks Ed. {Ed002's Note - Give me a break from this.}
Lol I knew that question was next. Nice one ED. Some folks just have nothing between the ears.

After watching Brazil last night, and the only reason I did watch was to watch Neymar, and he couldn't have been more disappointing if i'm honest, Yes i'm guilty of just watching him on internet and his highlights, but I just think he is over rated and after watching him last night I think he could stay in Brazil his whole career being a big fish in a little pond and I don't think he has what it takes to play in Europe's top leagues.
One Bomb Tom
Spot on mate. I watched it to and neymar was disappointing. on the other hand oscar was fantastic.
So this is based on 1 match?
Even Ronaldo and Messi have off days, Neymar is a talent no doubt, but 60bar is too much 4 him IMO.
I remember how awful he was against mexico in the final of the olympics and he was far from impressive against us. still not sure about him.

ED can you tell us if chelsea will more than likely move fast to get the players they are interested in at the end of the season, or are we in for a long drawn out summer? {Ed002's Note - No, it is not possible to do that.}

From what I read Mourinho has been saying the same thing about Inter as he has been with Cheslea, even saying Inter is where he loved the most as part of the Nerazzuri (spelling) family. He is batting his eyelids at every club because he knows Real are sacking him at the end of the season. Who knows where he'll end up, apparrently there is another "preliminary deal" with PSG. He could go anywhere people. {Ed002's Note - Real Madrid are not sacking Mourinho. There is no "preliminary deal" with PSG.}
Just out of interest. Would any club wanting Mourinho have to negotiate compensation with Real, despite the fact he himself looks set on leaving and the club seem to have lost patience with him? {Ed002's Note - Not if he is free from his contract with them. So if he were to leave by whatever agreement he does on June 4, on June 5 he could agree to join Arsenal or whoever.}
Arsenal. Lol.
Sacking was a strong word but it appears they want him to leave. That's not wrong is it Ed? {Ed002's Note - Inasmuchas you appear to be simply making stuff up.}

Ed, is the reported "provisional deal" between Chelsea and Mourinho true? {Ed002's Note - See previous answers.}
Were I can't find any answere to this question ed? {Ed002's Note - There is no "provisional deal" - he is contracted to another club.}

Ed 002, in your opinion who is favourite to sign falcao? {Ed002's Note - I really don't want to get in to suggesting who might be "favourite" - I can tell you who is interested.}
Who's interested then? {Ed002's Note - Most notably Chelsea and Bayern Munich.}

Has Chelsea's non interest in Cabaye maybe changed? He'd be perfect for our pivot. {Ed002's Note - No.}
