He also said he wants to start next season like how they started this season, with dominant and attractive football. The thing is, he was in quick adapting to the situation and was not so stubborn to keep on playing the same style without the right players. (Cesc and Diego injured/suspended) If you're a chef in a kitchen during a cooking competition of 30 minutes, and you see the salt (Cesc) and pepper (Diego) are overdue , would you be stubborn and continue to make that salt and pepper chicken dish, (Rodgers, Wenger) or would you adapt to the situation and make other dishes with the ingedrients you have left? (Mourinho) That's for me, the difference between a normal manager and a brilliant manager.

Top player, would have liked him here. Bah, too bad to see him at united
-
I like your ultimate bus, will try it on FIFA against legendary Barca.Maybe they could try a new cheat for two goalkeepers: Courtois Cech Azpi iva gary jt zouma luis Rambo Mikel matic
-
how often have you seen Koke play? In your opinion Oscar is world class and Koke bang on average right?
-
Yups and don't forget the huge praise from Henry recently.

When was your tipping point regarding Torres?

Season 4 with Mou, if Mou can't turn him into the old one, no one can. -
Yeah I agree with you, that our best line up should also be our standard line up against any team. So adding Koke only would see us playing: Matic-Koke Wil Cesc Hazard Costa Which for me, is already fantastic but if we're able to add Koke+Isco/Reus, we'll have a dream team: Matic-Koke Isco/Reus/Willian Cesc Hazard Costa

This summer will be interesting to see how the staff and Mourinho will further evolve our squad and I'm suddenly so excited because of all your posts about potential signings. IMO this season we've suffered because of the lack of rotation, and why didn't we rotate enough? I think because Mourinho doesn't trust the bench players enough. Mou often had great bench options at his former clubs which he trusted and those guys also rewarded his trust. I remember he had bench options like Higuain, Kaka, Carvalho, Albiol, Coentrao, Callejon, Lassana Diarra, Granero, and later Modric at Madrid. When Di Maria wasn't playing well, ''ok Callejon go warm up'', when Benzema wasn't playing well he said:''Ok my cat isn't playing well, Higuain(dog) go warm up.'', when Ozil wasn't performing, Kaka was already ready to come on. He always had options he could trust, and that's what is missing here I think. So next year, I hope we finally have some bench players he could really trust, so we can finally rotate well. He obviously did not trust Salah, and it's the same with Cuadrado. Schurrle was one he trusted but he was sick this season and left. He only uses Ramires in certain tough games, Mikel is only trusted in the final minutes and we've no adequate replacement for Cesc. So this summer I hope and think we will fix this. So for me the priorities are at least one good CM with defending abilities and one good CAM who could play the 3 spots behind the striker in our 4-2-3-1. Mentioned by people from this forum and rumored: CM/CDM: Khedira(free), Witsel, Scheiderlin, Pogba, Gundogan, Gomes, Koke* CAM: Isco, Reus, Bale, Koke*, Douglas Costa, Felipe Anderson I have not watched the likes of Gomes (Valencia), Douglas Costa, Felipe Anderson (Lazio) enough to have an opinion on them, but I do agree we should go all out for elite level players to move us to the level of Bayern, Barca and Real. For me, Koke/Gundogan(30-40M) and Isco/Reus(30-40M) would be a dream. But I'd be satisfied with something like Scheiderlin/Khedira + Isco/Reus/Koke. CM/CDM: I agree with supporter, Pogba is impossible/very difficult, Real, PSG, Barca, City will go all in for him, and Raiola is one of the most frustrating agents to do business with. Without 100+ Million Euro's, he won't let the deal come through. Koke is easier, he will never go to the direct rival Real, our only rival is Barca but they have the ban till Jan 2016 and it's not common to sell key players in January, so basically a ban till summer 2016. Gundogan was a star in their CL final season, if he replicates 90% of that form he would be the perfect signing. Khedira as a warrior and free squad option for us who covers B2B, CM and CDM, one squad player Mourinho really can trust. Schneiderlin would also be good if he's cheap but I doubt that. CAM: Our most important piece is the CAM, who can help Eden out with attacking the defenders? Isco has tricks and vision, him interchanging with Eden and Willian would be a joy to watch. Reus would be another great signing, he scores goals from distance. is fast and direct, he would release pressure from Eden as the only attacking mid who could change games. Bale is good too but way too expensive, he was bought for 100m Euro's can't see Madrid decreasing the price heavily since Bale is still young. GK+Defence: For other options, the GK we clearly have to replace Cech with an experienced keeper and our defense is still good for the next year. Adding a great young CB like Varane, Stones with Terry coaching him would be great. If we have two faster CB's our game could improve as a whole, but can't see Mourinho dropping Terry yet.
-
Mou has played Oscar, Matic and Cesc a lot together this year. And Isco has showed he could also do the defensive duties when needed, so I think he can easily replace Oscar in the starting line up as our 10. For big games, Mou probably will play Cesc more advanced with a defensive partner for Matic, which could move Isco out wide or just on the bench as an attacking option. For the reported 30M he would be a bargain. If we add him to our squad, as many other said, we finally have someone who can attack opponents together with Eden, which will benefit our whole team.
-
I saw him at 10 for us, and he was good. Everton and Stoke as examples for this season. He didn't play there a lot this year because Cesc plays there too.
-
Most underrated player here. Give him a run in the #10 position and you guys will change your opinion about him. He's like Azpi, played out of position, so you can't expect him to shine there. But he's very vital for the system Mou plays.
-
Simeone had a short traineeship of one week at Mou's Inter. His Atletico does looks like Mou's Inter.
-
Ligue 1 is no challenge for Eden, he said that already. There is no "project", he was the best player there before he came here, why would he return?
-
Barca to win it, can't stand Pep or nasty Real Madrid. Juve has no chance.
-
Yeah playing for Real Or Barca is often considered as the biggest step/final step by many players and managers. Even Mou said he didn't regret coaching Real, despite the bad experiences in his finals year. He just wanted to feel what it was to coach them.But as long Ronaldo is there, I don't think it's attractive for any star to go there. To play with such a selfish player is frustrating, he wants all the penalties, freekicks and shoots 50 times per game. Just check how unlucky Bale is there. Hopefully Mou can convince him, La Liga is just a boring league and he can win the champions league with us.
-
Yeah they always want to buy stars (galaticos), Eden would suit that perfectly. A good looking young man with fantastic skills. The good thing is, he just signed a new contract with us and we're safe for at least 3 years.
-
Zidane to be the next Real Madrid manager. Eden a big fan of Zidane. Not this summer, but it could happen in 2-3 years if Eden forces a move himself.
-
Happy Bday Mikel, 9 years here already. With Zouma being able to fill in the "Mikel role", I can see him leaving this summer. Hopefully with a EPL medal.

Courtois Iva Gary JT Azpi Zouma/Rami Matic Willian Cesc Eden Remy

Zidane: 'Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are spectacular, but I like Eden Hazard' http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/4/22/8464547/zidane-messi-cristiano-ronaldo-hazard-hands-off-buddy

Think Mou saved Remy for this game, Remy was probably on 60-70% but Mou didn't want to reinjure him.
-
After next game, both Arsenal and us will still have 5 games to play. Here are the possible scenarios after the game: If we draw- we'll need 5 more points + better gd or 6 points. If we win-we'll need just 2 more points + better gd or 1 win. If we lose- we'll need 8 points + better gd or 9 points. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
