Marco Van Ginkel

Chelsea have also confirmed that they gave completed the signing of Netherlands U21 superstar, Marco Van Ginkel from Vitesse on a fee for around £8 million, Ginkel has shined over the past few seasons, and being Chelsea's parent club, it was not hard for them to be able to obtain this wonder-kid on such a little fee.

Willian

And finally and certainly not least, Chelsea have also completed the signing of Anzhis Brazilian winger, Willian. Willian impressed a lot last season when he was at Shakhtar where he was able to destroy Chelsea's defence in the Champions League, and now he has part of that squad, he was signed for a un - disclosed fee, but was said to be around £30 million. Anzhi was forced to sell Willian and all their other players due to a financial crisis, so could there be anyone else from Anzhi?, well rumours are that Samuel Eto'o, one of Jose's best players, will be flying to London tomorrow to complete a medical with the blues.

CHELSEA COMPLETE THE SINGING OF SALAH



Chelsea's new singing of Salah

Chelsea have completed the signing of Egyptian winger ,Mohamed Salah. He has been on the radar of a lot of teams, including Liverpool and United, but Chelsea were able to snap him up for a fee around £13 million. He has been labelled as the Egyptian Messi, as he is able to dribble past defences with ease, and leave them for dead with his speed.

Salah has already made a few appearances for his national team, and last season in the Europa League completely wrecked Chelsea's defence, with his pace. He will have a lot of competition with places, with people like Andre, Hazard and Willian. Plus players on loan like Lucas Piazon, but only being 21, he has a lot of poeintal and could be a lethal force to be dealt with.
Zivkovic looks a great signing and I think this is an amazing story

Jason: Thank you much, Im looking forward to be using him, and Im glad you like it, only my first story :P
Joe: Thank you, you're story is great also!
Nice deal with Salah, wonder how you managed to get him :P

http://www.chelseafc.com/javaImages/7e/e7/0,,10268~12183422,00.jpg
Samuel Eto'o

Chelsea have completed the deal for the Cameroon striker, Samuel Eto'o on a supposed free transfer from the Russian team, Anzhi Makhachkala, Jose is very happy with this deal, as he quoted '' I am very happy that Eto'o has come to us, he did very well for me at Inter, I like players who win my trophies'', he has only signed a one year contract, but possible automatic extension for certain landmarks he hits this season.

http://www.chelseafc.com/javaImages/ac/4/0,,10268~12190892,00.jpg
Christian Atsu

Chelsea have also completed the signing, of Porto winger, Christian Atsu for a un - disclosed fee, the African has not really hit the mark off at Porto, as he mainly been benched this season, but Jose said ''He is a great player, and I think he can do wonders here''. He has been loaned to Vitesse until the rest of the season. Atsu did very well at the african cup of nations, for his nation, so could this be a kick start for his new career? Or has Jose lost the plot, signing off form players.

CHELSEA FINISH THEIR SPENDING ON EXPERINCE



http://worldsoccertalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/nemanja-matic.jpg
Nemanja Matic

Chelsea complete the signing of Serbian defensive midfielder, Nemanja Matic for a fee of £20 million from Benfica. Matic was once at Chelsea, but then sold to Benfica for a part exchange for David Luiz, but since then, he has improved a lot, and Jose feels that he at the level that he needs for his squad, Jorge Jesus, the current Benfica manager, describes him as 'the best defensive midfielder in the world'. But will he flop like last time, or will he prove him self to the fans and the manager.

http://www.chelseafc.com/javaImages/c6/5/0,,10268~12060102,00.jpg
Mark Schwarzer

And a surprise signing, which no one was expecting, was the signing of experienced Australian free agent Mark Schwarzer, on a free transfer, after being released Fulham, he is brought in as backup for Peter Cech, as Ross Turn-bull left the club for Doncaster, and is a very solid keeper and should be able to fill in for Cech when needed.

Jose informing the press about the end of their spending

Shortly after Jose had made his two signings of Mark and Matic, he hosted a press conference with the press about his vast amount of spending, and his informed them telling them that he is buying no more.

' I think we have spent our money wisely, we have a lot of depth in the squad and a combination of youth and experince, I can assure you to everyone, that there will be no more activity for Chelsea for transfers coming in, I am not sure about people leaving, that can happen at any time, but I am happy with my current squad, and we are ready for the pre - season'

'This is not because we are lacking the money in the budget, infact, we have a lot of money to spend, but there is no need to dis balance the squad, you need a perfect balance in every position, and I think we have obtained that, thank you very much, that will be a wrap.'

What a fantastic start to the story. One of the best I have seen for a while! It has inspired me to get back involved in my story writing and unemployment challenge. Keep it up!

James: Thank you so much, it really means alot, and you should get back to writing! i really enjoyed it!

EXCLUSIVE: JOSE'S TACTICAL MINDSET



Jose discussing his style of football

Jose and his squad, are just about to head out to Mexico, for their first pre - season game against Santos Laguna, but before a exclusive ChelseaTV interview involved Jose talking about how he wanted his game to be played, and how he expects his players to play, and by the sound of things, it does sound very exciting.

''I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve on how I want Chelsea to play, but the most important thing, is to be hard working, if you loose the ball, I dont want them just to sit there and wait for the defence to pick it up for them, they are to track back like everyone else. My team will produce very possession based football but with some creative elements to it, some players like Hazard can be very creative on the ball, and they will be able to express their skills, as long as they able to keep the flow of the game going, I would rather you pass the ball, then dribble past five players and then get tackled by the last defender and lose possession, my players wont be lazy, they will all be hardworking, if they are not, then they will be punished. At Real Madrid, my team was known for counter attacks, the way we played out of defence and were able to get the ball to their final third and most times were able to put the ball in the back of the net, you cant just move a certain tactic to another team, because every player has different skills, but I will work my hardest to add those elements into the game. So In conclusion, Chelsea's way of playing will be dominate and exciting.''
Nice update mate, good to see it will be realistic :)
