Mourinho has always been as technical and logical as ever. Any time he speaks, he speaks with precision and in good english.
Listen:
We made a bid, we can make it - it's an open market until September 1. At the moment they say we don't accept this bid – they don't say: 'We don't accept bids; any bids'. While they say we don't accept this bid, until September 1 we can improve the bid, one pound more, ten pounds more we can improve the bid.
If one day Roberto Martinez or the chairman come and say he's not for sale, we don't accept any bid, it's game over. So during this process, it's clear, we don't deny we made a bid for Stones. It means we are trying to buy.
