Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho
hinted David Moyes of possible risks that could disrupt Manchester
United’s season if he delays Wayne Rooney’s exit.
The
Blues had an opening offer for the striker immediately rejected last
Tuesday and are expected to return with an improved bid.
Mourinho
suggested a long transfer saga could affect the “balance” of a team
very close to the start of the season, or even after the new campaign
has begun.
“It depends on the
philosophy of each one,” Mourinho told reporters at a press conference
in Jakarta. “The sooner you have the players the better. You know the
squad you have, you know what you have to work with, you have time for
that.
“But, yes, he (Moyes) is
right. The market is open until September 2 and many clubs are waiting
to the last moment to make their decisions, and those decisions affect a
number of other clubs. The one who sells has to go and buy, then they
have to buy to replace, so no club is safe. Until the last minute, a
club can go there and ‘steal’ a player. I don’t mean steal a player, but
steal the balance that a manager has when he’s working with a team.”
