If it's for pre-season then I see no problem. If its beyond the time when the new season starts for NYCFC then I will take it as bad.

Come back to me when the MLS season starts and he's not with the team. Pre-season could not cared much. It's better he stays here to continue to be in shape so when he goes back hes in the best form from the go.

Knee jerk reaction there. So I see what are your arguments. Someone who has better control of their emotions would wait to see what's the real deal. Not be like @Term-X, who called Mourinho a traitor because he jumped the gun on thinking he was going to United....

I rather wait till the new MLS season start and see what happens. At the moment the new season has not started and is not required.

When does the mls season starts and when does it finished? I would think it be messed up if he stays for his full contract at city. Like if he signed 4 years with nycfc and never did any of those at the mls team. Then that would be shady.

Do you see nycfc playing in the mls yet?

No I can't see the distinction because Lampard joined an mls team. He didn't join directly to City.

If it was purposely he would have directly join city. He joined an mls team that hasn't even started their season.

But he never did join a direct rival he joined an mls team. It was city that got him to come over from his sister club.

If mourinho loved us he would have never beaten us with inter. Just like Lampard should not score goals for City.... But hey they can't do that because they are professional.

Yeah but he talked thrash about us and beat us in the CL. By that logic then Lampard should not score any goals for City.....

And when we played inter he talked thrash about us. Lampard has never done that. He's thrash talking is in the field. Mourinho is a big mouth, and Lampard is a fútbol player. But they each got to do what they have to do because they are professional.

Well that's your view, mourinho is an icon just like these two. And he was a "traitor" just like Lampard. But it's all good because he's a professional....

Wasn't mourinho the same for Chelsea? And when he joined inter and we had to play against them he talked thrash about us. But that's what mourinho must do because he's a professional, likewise Lampard.

That's not surprising. We don't do youth no matter what Mourinho said. It's better for us to stock pile them and sell them. Then buy ready made players.

I think Atletico can beat them. Barcelona, in the middle with them. But definitely they have high chances of making it to quarterfinals this season if they avoid those two tough one.

I bet he has lost a lot of money! I remember he said he bet against City when playing with Bayern in their last game. He must be on a losing streak!

^That's messed up men. You've gone too far!

I think bar Atletico, Barcelona and Real for pot 1, City can beat anyone from the rest. So let's see who they get. But I assume either City or Arsenal will get one of them.

Roma are such a low club. How can you let yourself beat at home like that? They got what they deserve really. Well at least Liverpool ain't in the next round!

Hey that's nothing to the future captain some said David Luiz would be.... Yeah I think that was obvious from September. Just that many people don't focus on that stuff because we was winning. This is why If wonder the whole Pique to Chelsea was a rumor or something on real facts. Pique and Terry might be good to be fair. Pique was good with a rock like Puyol, so I wonder if it can be the same here for a season or two with Terry by his side.

Yeah me too. That's why I was surprised we didn't sign a CB in the summer when we got rid of David Luiz. Unless Mourinho moves Ivan at CB and uses Azpi and Luis on each side, something we thought at the beginning of the season could happen. But who you think would be a good buy? Do you buy into those Pique rumors?

Well I guess this was just Mourinho admitting he was wrong. Because I never really seen LB for LB from Mourinho at Chelsea. Those was Carlo tactic and they where ugly at times. This time it wasn't that bad. And I think this (hopefully) is the start of Felipe at LB.

Out of the team is more then likely. People didn't wanted to accept this when we was in good form September and October and now they finally seeing it..... Zouma isn't at the level yet to take over Cahill neither, it would be a big gamble that can be a disaster or pay of good in the long run. So I think this is the time where Mourinho must put his mouth where his talk is. If he is truly serious about youth development then he will gamble on them now that we need freshness. If not we go into the January transfer window to buy. I expect buy, as I'm a pessimist when it comes to our youth no matter who is our coach. We don't do youth.

You never said downfall? lol but I understand your point. Just pulling your leg.
