Falcao, Hulk, Mangala, Isco, Fellaini? Jose Mourinho draws up Chelsea wishlist to sign SIX players this summer

Go way Jose: Mourinho is leaving Real Madrid and expected to return to Stamford Bridge

Jose Mourinho has drawn up his summer wish list to turn Chelsea back into champions.

And Mourinho's rebuilding plans will not come cheap as he has insisted they will need a minimum of SIX players to reinforce the first team squad.

Mourinho, who will be free to join Chelsea on June 2, wants three defenders, two midfielders and a striker with Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao at the very top of his hit-list.

Real Madrid boss Mourinho has already agreed a three-year contract worth £12m-a-year - and has had guarantees about the investment in the club.

It is believed Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will make the biggest investment in the squad since Mourinho left Stamford Bridge six years ago.

That could see the Russian billionaire bankroll a staggering £100m spending spree this summer with Chelsea's £50m flop Fernando Torres likely to be sacrificed to try to help address the effects of Financial Fair Play.

Mourinho is desperate to make Chelsea more resolute in defence but wants a top class forward to help fire the club back to the Premier League title.

Mourinho believes he has a head start on Monaco and Manchester City in the battle to sign Colombian superstar Falcao from Atletico Madrid.

Falcao shares the same agent as Mourinho and is desperate to bring him to the Premier League even though he is the most sought after No 9 in Europe.

But if Mourinho misses out then he will most likely move for Zenit St Petersburg striker Hulk who nearly joined Chelsea before going to Russia.

Chelsea are also a long way forward in trying to tying up a deal for Bayer Leverkusen centre forward Andre Schurrle, 22.

Mourinho also rates Eliquim Mangala, 22, highly and wants Porto's French under-21 defender to move to Stamford Bridge this summer.

They also fancy Malaga's in-demand midfielder Isco who is set to leave this summer with Manchester City also keen. Everton's Marouane Fellaini has also been a target.

Safe hands: Mourinho wants to bring Courtois back from loan at Atletico

Mourinho has also recommended that Chelsea recall Belgian keeper Thibaut Courtois, 21, from his loan spell at Atletico Madrid.

Courtois is regarded as one of the best keeper prospects in Europe and Mourinho believes he can be a valuable back-up and eventual successor to first choice Petr Cech.

Mourinho has already championed Frank Lampard getting a new one year deal and John Terry - who still has 12 months

It leaves Chelsea with a huge target to rebuild the squad and strengthen their chances of helping Mourinho to make a successful return to Stamford Bridge.

Real Madrid have already confirmed that Mourinho is leaving the club and negotiations appear to have been resolved about his exit.

Mourinho will be free to go on June 2 which is 24 hours after their final game of the league campaign against Osasuna while an announcement is expected about his return to Chelsea is expected from June 3 onwards.

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

By
This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger  Eldar Murtazin  tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? If Goog
