LONDON. — For Jose Mourinho, it does not matter if his team summon a thrilling response in Paris in the Champions League or finish the Barclays English Premier League soccer campaign with a flourish. His mind is made up. Some of this Chelsea squad do not have the “personality” required to perform at Stoke, West Bromwich Albion or Crystal Palace, according to a manager who promised to perform “surgery” in the transfer market.
After his strikers failed to score in the defeat at Palace on Saturday, Mourinho warned them that a new centre forward would arrive in the summer — Atletico Madrid’s Diego Costa is thought to be the top target — and those not ready to compete can go.
In fact, Mourinho has hinted at a major overhaul of his forward line this summer.
Mourinho ruled his side out of this season’s Premier League title race after the 1-0 defeat by Crystal Palace on Saturday despite them only losing top spot to Liverpool 24 hours later. — Mailonline.
