Counting down to Chelsea Lost? Mourinho checks his watch as he snatching Barcelona's Pedro for £21million from under Manchester United's noses training for the first time since £21m swoop for Barca star
Chelsea's players and managerial staff took part in training on Wednesday as their club's upper echelons pulled off the shock transfer of the summer, snatching Barcelona's Pedro for £21million from under Manchester United's noses. Yet manager Jose Mourinho looked pensive at the club's practice base in Cobham as he juggles keeping his first team players' spirits up after their 3-0 loss to title rivals Manchester City on Sunday, preparations for the side's next fixture away to West Bromwich Albion on Sunday coming, and continued negotiations with Everton over bringing in defender John Stones. John Terry, who was sensationally substituted against City for the first time in 177 league starts under Mourinho's management, was also photographed on the training pitch alongside left back Cesar Azpilicueta.
