Jose Mourinho has announced that
Chelsea will wait until after Monday's Premier League match with
Manchester United to make a third approach for Wayne Rooney. Chelsea
have identified Rooney as their primary transfer target of the summer
but have so far had two offers for the striker rebuffed.
United remain adamant that the
England international is not for sale
and he made an appearance as a substitute in Saturday's 4-1 victory over
Swansea City. The Blues are expected to test United's resolve yet
again, but
Mourinho insists it would not be appropriate to make a move before
Monday's meeting between the sides at Old Trafford. "I think this
period, by the ethical point of view, is a period where we're going to
be quiet."
"I don't want Chelsea to do it
before we go there," said Mourinho, following Chelsea's 2-1 defeat of
Aston Villa on Wednesday. "Everybody in the club, in the board, they
agree with me. They share that opinion. "I think this period, by the
ethical point of view, is a period where we're going to be quiet." Tembelea http://jambotz8.blogspot.com/ kila siku.
Trust
Mourinho admitted earlier in the week that he respected United's right to turn down any bid, and revealed he did have other targets if Chelsea's pursuit of Rooney was ultimately unsuccessful.
"We trust a lot in our project for the future because the team is
very, very young," he said on Tuesday. "But we have conditions to try
and improve our team by bringing in one more player and we are going to
try that until the end. "When you think that you'd like to have one player and the market is
open, then official bids are not forbidden. Official bids are always
accepted in an ethical way.
"You try because nobody forbids
you to try and, of course, the
player's owners can do exactly what we did in relation to David Luiz and
Barcelona." "We have a plan B and a plan C! Don't ask me names, because
it's difficult to speak about players from other clubs."
