Mourinho to raid Chelsea Twice?




Earlier this week, Inter Milan signalled their intention to make Frank Lampard their number one target this summer. They also intimated that they would not be chasing any potential strikers in the close season.

It would appear that may not be the case!

Jose Mourinho, now firmly encamped in the Milan hot-seat, has been weaving those mystical threads he can be so good at. With the media hanging on to his every word, the 'Special One' has once again given us hacks some ammunition to get all hot under the collar over.

Only last week, we latched on to some comments from Didier Drogba, spending time in his homeland promoting his autobiography, that suggested, to us, that he'd be staying at Stamford Bridge next season.

Now, we're not so sure, especially as Mourinho's words resemble a web prepared to snag its prey!

Speaking about life at Milan, Jose couldn't help but, with that obvious twinkle in his eye, muddy the waters even further by remarking,

'I cannot forget Deco, Lampard and Drogba. These are players who I could never say no to.'

'I would love to work with them again in the future, but I am not too obsessed with this idea.'

Now normally, those last few words would offer us all a few crumbs of comfort, unfortunately the next two comments seem to suggest that Mourinho is hatching plans to achieve his goals when he remarks,

'I don't know which of these three will leave their clubs but we will see.'

'I want to start a cycle with the same team from last year, plus one, or two, maximum three new players.'


So shall we take it those three players will be Lampard, Deco and Drogba?
