Completely exhausted. by their three big Premier League rivals this summer. The Londoners have spent huge sums of money on transfer fees and wages to attract some of the top players, but Mourinho expects Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal to all spend more than them in the summer transfer market. He hopes that will force the media to put as much pressure on those teams to challenge for domestic and European honours as Mourinho feels they do on Chelsea. He said: "People ask Chelsea, 'Last season you won two trophies; why did you not win four?' But not many journalists ask Rafael Benitez and Arsene Wenger, 'Why zero?' And not many people ask Manchester United, 'Why only the Premiership?' "Is it about money? If it is, I hope that next season the media put pressure on the big spenders because the big spenders for sure will not be Chelsea." |
