League Two side Wycombe Wanderers secured a memorable 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final. The depleted Premiership champions went in front on 36 minutes through Wayne Bridge, playing as an emergency striker. But The Chairboys got their just deserts for a spirited second half display as Jermaine Easter slid home the leveller 13 minutes from time.
no sheva

yeah i bought draw n Wycombe win cum eat 1 half..haha
so its cfm its the end of Sheva in CFC.. -
JOSE MOURINHO cast further doubt on his Chelsea future when he claimed he cannot buy new players.
Mourinho saw his side struggle to a Carling Cup semi-final draw at Wycombe courtesy of Wayne Bridge — who was badly cut while scoring. But he said he has been denied cash by Roman Abramovich to strengthen.
Angry Mourinho said: “I’ve identified players that I want but they will not come. “It’s club reasons and I don’t have to tell you why. “I have asked for players and it’s not my choice that no one is coming. It’s not my club. I am just a manager.
“I expect my squad to be the same at the end of the transfer window as it was at the start. No one out and no one in. This is our situation at the moment. “The information I have is that nobody is coming and if that’s the case then nobody is leaving.
“I cannot let a player go, even if he’s a player who should go, because we are very short on options and numbers. No chance.” The Blues boss would not be drawn on his own destiny. He said: “My future is not important. Chelsea is important.”
MourinhoÂ’s public admission will further damage his relationship with the clubÂ’s Russian billionaire owner Abramovich, which has been strained by recent results. Jermaine EasterÂ’s 77th-minute equaliser for League Two Wycombe leaves the semi-final wide open with the second leg in 12 days.
Wycombe chief Paul Lambert said: “We wanted to keep the tie alive. Chelsea are a world-class team but we matched them through sheer effort.
“I am very proud of my players and now we will go to win the match at Chelsea.” -
Wycombe will get routed in the return leg.

I don't understand why is he complaining so much... He just spent $80 over million just 6 months ago only and still wants more money...
2006 Shevchenko - $30.8m, Mikel John Obi $16m - Salomon Kalou $8-10m - Khalid Boulahrouz $8.5m - A Cole $20m = 83.3m
I don't see Wenger, An Ben or Fergie complaining even when they don't have such a good budget from their clubs... He is behaving like a kid not getting the money for the sweets he wants to buy...
Its time he learn how to run a club like Wenger...
-
RB and wenger did complain too.
-
Yeah they did after not spending a lot but he has just spent more than $80m?Originally posted by iLuVpOrKyPiG:RB and wenger did complain too.
Benitez has spent £78million in the two and- a-half years he has been at the club. Mour blew all $80m in just one window barely 6 months ago only... -
sheva is leaving soon
-
i highly doubt the purchase of sheva and ballack was his own.
and the sale of gallas definitely wasnt his choice. -
Don't doubt... Any manager in the Premiership would have wanted them before they came to chelsea... And Abramovich also came out to give an interview saying "he insisted that boss Jose Mourinho has the final say. I am not involved in team selection," he said. "I cannot say I am completely not involved in buying players but my role would be significantly lower than that of the manager's."Originally posted by stellazio:i highly doubt the purchase of sheva and ballack was his own.
and the sale of gallas definitely wasnt his choice.
As for Gallas, if they didn't chase A cole in the first place, maybe they wouldn't have lose Gallas to Arsenal... But anyway, they had A Cole in exchange so wouldn't make a difference as Gallas also didn't want to play for them and was prepared to sit and wait till his contrach was over this june... and mourinho did bring in another defender as well in Boulahrouz
Anyway to quote mour on the day shev signed:
"Today is a day when the dream became reality. Andriy has always been my first choice for Chelsea since I arrived. Before it was not possible, now it is for real. He has great qualities, ambition, discipline, tactical awareness and of course he is a great goalscorer. I did not need to meet with him to convince him about Chelsea, in the same way we did not need to talk a lot about why I wanted him. Everybody knows him as a player, tactically he can play in the Chelsea system no doubt" -
he did not want to sell gallasOriginally posted by stellazio:i highly doubt the purchase of sheva and ballack was his own.

huth maybe was club/manager or both
And morever Essien Was his 1st signing not sheva so Zocoss source seems to have error in it
Jose did not want to sign Sheva
but for ballack i am unsure -
Well, your first line is probably right but that could also be because he wanted to punish him for asking to leave chelsea and join AC Milan... He intended to let him rot in the reserved for the balance of his 1 year contract for going against him. Moreover he got A cole right or he would never have got him this season. And like i said, mourinho did bring in another defender as well in Boulahrouz so that area should have been covered already.Originally posted by ghimpheng:he did not want to sell gallas

but for ballack i am unsure
And where did i say shev was his 1st signing?
Lastly, i belief many clubs would still be happy to take shev or ballack anytime. It just a matter of the style they play that may not be working with mour's tactics... -
And another thing, i seriously doubt Essien was his first signing since he joint them in 2005.Originally posted by ghimpheng:

Players like Drogba, Tiago Mendes, JarošÃk, Ricardo Carvalho & Paulo Ferreira all arrived around 2004 when mour first took charge. So i probably would say Essien was not his first.

The dealmakers
Roman Abramovich owner
"I cannot say I'm completely not involved in buying players, but my role would be significantly lower than that of the manager's. You cannot compare them. To give an example, this would be an impossible situation when a manager does not want a player to be bought and I try to impose ideas. It would not work."
Peter Kenyon chief executive
"Jose, Roman and I discuss things together. I can't imagine any reason why people would think it was any different. We want to build a foundation for many years to come and that foundation can only be built from success on the field."
Frank Arnesen director of youth development
"My job is 20-25% administration and the rest of the time I'm out looking for players. That is what I like - getting players to the club, seeing their development, watching them break into the first team."
Jose Mourinho manager
"It is I who makes decisions in terms of the quality and profile of a player." -
