Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho suggests that the Blues aren’t looking to bring in any more signings to follow Radamel Falcao and Asmir Begovic this summer.
The Portuguese manager is certainly confident ahead of the Premier League champions’ title-defending campaign, believing that his senior side has no ‘fragilities’ that need addressing:
“You are speaking with the manager of the best team in England. We don’t have fragilities – we are a top team, we have top players,” as quoted by the Daily Star.
“We started training six days ago – we did 11 training sessions in six days.
“We don’t need other players – we trust these players, these players are good.”

There has been minimal gossip on the Blues’ transfer grapevine since the end of their title-winning season, with Everton’s John Stones having recently emerged as perhaps the club’s only significant target.
However, 22-year-old centre-back Tomas Kalas put pen-to-paper on a new three-year contract with the west London giants earlier today – suggesting that Mourinho may have conceded defeat in his chase for the England international.
Chelsea succumbed to a shock defeat to Major League Soccer outfit New York Red Bulls on Thursday morning – a performance in which John Terry and new signing Begovic faced heavy criticism for their role in the 4-2 loss.
Falcao was in attendance for the defeat, but watched on from the sidelines – having only just met with his new team-mates earlier that day following an extended break due to his Copa America participation.
