With Chelsea’s summer signings they are already regarded as the best premier league side this season but manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that that Blues could’ve been more
fearsome if he had exploited the option of signing Manchester United duo of Radamel Falcao and Angel Di Maria in the summer.
Both players and the Portuguese are managed by the same agent, Jorge Mendes who asked the former Real Madrid gaffer to sign the players which he was keen to do but for the Uefa financial fair play rule.
“Jorge told me Di Maria and Falcao are his players and he has to find solutions for them,” Mourinho is quoted by The Sun as having said in the book “The Key to Mendes.”
“But if Chelsea doesn’t have the financial capacity to pay eight, nine or ten million euros a year, because of [financial] fair play, of course Mendes has to think about his players.
“We couldn’t bring Falcao or Di Maria because I didn’t want to, either. I can’t have a player earning 10 million when others earn three, four or five. That would have caused an explosion.”
Without the players though, Chelsea are top of the premier league log after 22 matches and two of the summer signings Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas runs the show with 17goals and 15 assists respectively to top each of their categories.
