Lucky Guus?

And that's why the sub was good for him I would have loved someone different then Kennedy because the game is tight....but if we are to bring younger players into the team then this is good.

Kevin De Bruyne agreed to join Bayern Munich before Manchester City move, says agent http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11679/10128154/kevin-de-bruyne-agreed-to-join-bayern-munich-before-manchester-city-move-says-agent

Yeah I know, AVB came too early. We pulled the trigger too fast on that, especially after only one season. There's a lot of one season wonder managers, we should have waited to see how they do in the next season and just kept Carlo. That was an appointment too early as we wasn't ready for that, but today I will favor such an approach. True this is a valid point. I don't watch much of Chile game to give you a good breakdown of all this. But if I'm not mistaken at times when they played against Brazil and Argentina they took a more counter attacking approach. Can't be sure about this but that's the way it seemed to me....

Loic is the reason why I believe we should not waste our time with players like vardy. If Loic can't get much time going what's to say that someone like vardy might do it? Heck I think if Loic went to Leicester they would be set.

I doubt anyone would get sack for anything less then what Mourinho was. If we finish top 4 the board would be okay. What is not okay is to be 1 point above relegation in December.

Pep, Simeone Mourinho and such was never big shots when they started. We need to gamble. And Sampoli sounds like an interesting gamble.

I think it's the guy from Shaktar, Teixera.

Disappointed is the word. This is why I hope in the summer we get a young manager like pochetino.

This has been a surprised to be seeing la liga not having its winter break. It's great for the fans as we see in the pl but not so good for the players as they get depleted. Oh well it's great to have Fútbol during this period of time.

Yeah I agree, who knows we can see if Lukaku wants to come back? 150 million on those 3......

Well last time we got a Valencia player he was good. Here hoping for more of the same.

Yes you are right, Mourinho mark 1 was good. I guess from now on I should refer to Mourinho mark 2. Because this Mourinho is a very average manager. This Mourinho has been living of past history from the mourinho mark 1.

Well Scolari and AVB where around the same length of time as interim managers time. So nope that rule doesn't apply here.

Only Scolari, AVB and Mourinho. Other then that nope. Pochetino is a much easier guy to work with then all these mentioned.

Pellegrini is an okay manager as well. I think Pochetino is in that same bracket. If we get him we would do good.

Manuel Pellegrini: I’d rather win title and be sacked than fail and stay http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jan/05/manchester-city-manuel-pellegrini-title-sack hehehe Pelle with another dig at Mourinho. But after all is said and done with Pellegrini having funds in a big team in the same scenario as Mourinho they have proven to be similar. Okay manager that can win things here and there but nothing so amazing. This is proof enough for me that as long as we spend good and have an okay manager we will be good.

In fact, the rush of fixtures since Hiddink took over has left little time to develop intricate new tactics. But there has been one significant change of note: Chelsea attackers aren't bogged down with the many defensive responsibilities they had under Mourinho. http://www.espnfc.us/club/chelsea/363/blog/post/2781132/chelsea-making-positive-changes-under-guus-hiddink

Does that means we can bid for stones and Barkley? Are people still interested in Barkley?

Yeah this is true. Out of all the club in the PL Arsenal seems like the best fit for him. No one will bother him, no debts and they make good money. It might be if Wenger decides to step down.

You got this right out of my brain. Anyways I did found that quote interesting. And just like you it gives me a little hope he might consider London, so that leaves us and Arsenal.......

I think our unwillingness to spend was more to see what this whole FFP was all about. Would it be taken serious or buckled under pressure?' And we saw how they had to change the rules, so I do suspect we will start spending again without placing too much of an emphasis on selling first.

Over United? I don't think so. United has the biggest money coming in then any other club, he will have all the funds he wants at United. But his ex-compatriots might be a good reason as you mentioned.

United, he will go to United if they want him. Which more then likely it will be with van Gaal leaving at the end of the season or so.
