That's based on the premise that everything that comes out of Mourinho's gob isn't self serving bullshit! Might be true, equally could be absolute crap. I suspect the £30m fee probably put him off more (or more accurately, put Chelsea's owners off) but he didn't want to say something like "we've not got as much money to spend as I'd like" so blamed the wages.

The Shaw wage looked a little low to me too, I thought I remembered the figure of £100,000 being mentioned last summer. However, given Jones and Smalling are "only" on £50,000 and £60,000 respectively then £50,000 for Shaw would fit.
I'm sure there was a slanging match between Mourinho and the turtle because mourinho said he pulled out of a deal to sign shaw because of his £120k a week wage demands...no?
