Jose Mourinho still not tempted to spend

Jose Mourinho insists that Chelsea's shock defeat to Bradford will not lure him into the transfer market.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that Saturday's shock defeat to Bradford City has not forced him to reconsider bolstering his squad this month.

The Blues were victims of arguably the biggest FA Cup upset in recent years after losing 4-2 to the League One outfit at Stamford Bridge.

Despite being linked with Juan Cuadrado and Douglas Costa, Mourinho has been adamant throughout January that he will not utilise the mid-season window.

"I trust my squad. And it's not because of this disappointment and this really bad performance that I'm going to change," he told BT Sport.

"I'm happy to go [until the end of the season with the same squad]."

Mourinho's side boast a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League and host Liverpool in the second leg of their League Cup semi-final on Tuesday, with the aggregate score at 1-1.
