Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed the reasons behing signing; Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas, Filipe Luis and Didier Drogba.

The Blues boss has now stated that his business in the transfer market is over and he insists that he is happy with what he has signed already, after securing the signing of former-striker, Didier Drogba, on a one-year deal.

Mourinho moved quickly in wrapping up deals for Costa and Fabregas, and he then moved to sign a new left-back to replace Ashley Cole, who joined AS Roma, and in Luis, he found his ideal replacement.

Talking in a recent press conference, Mourinho discussed each signing and the reasons behind them.

When discussing about Costa, Mourinho said: “During last season, in the January market everybody spoke about us buying a striker and trying to attack the title in the second part of the season.

“In that moment we didn’t make a move because our first target was Diego Costa.

“So if you ask me was Diego a target in May or in June, no – Diego was a target that we started smelling very, very early.”

The Blues boss added (when discussing the Fabregas signing): “We clearly needed a player for the midfield with a different profile and we had two or three options, but, my club were fantastic with the way they killed the situation with Fabregas.

“What I did was explain to the player what I want from him, explain to the player what was waiting for him, tried to make the player believe that the move was the perfect move for him.

“After that (Fabregas deal), we needed a pure left-back, a real left-back,” Mourinho continued.

“We always felt that Filipe was a very stable player and one which gave us multi-solutions because I can play Azpi right-back and Ivanovic centre-back because of Filipe.”

Finally, when mentioning the re-signing of Drogba, the Portuguese man said: “We want to win matches and win titles and Didier is one of the best strikers in Europe, still very adapted to the needs of the Premier League.

“I have brought him back because as a player he has certain qualities to make the team stronger. The team is not about the 11, it is about the different options.

“We went specifically to get these targets and this is what we need.”
