Just watched a documentary of Mourinho Madrid. Very interesting to see. Two things that stand out for me after watching that and that I agree with the speakers was: 1. First time ever for Mourinho in not having a unit cohesion of a team. Done it at Porto, Chelsea and Inter. But could not form that in Real Madrid. and 2. That in all the teams that Mourinho left, it is hard for them to get back up. Takes some time.

I would take him, but I don't think chelsea nor Mourinho want to deal with that pr nightmare. We already suffer shit from terry and Cole, that we are finally moving on with the new type of player we are bringing in. Of course rooney won't be a saint but suarez is a bigger problem.

Tata Martinez is the new coach of Barcelona!!! They are going to be so fucked!

Damn that's insane. But I think it comes a bit too late for him.

Tata Martino looks like is going to be the new manager of Barcelona...... A very strange appointment.

Well you said it's all about work rate. So then we can use that same excuse for any league in the world then..... I don't doubt that Bundesliga is a decent league. But it is nowhere near close to playing a full season of PL and some CL. In CL Oscar was boss, especially against a veteran like Pirlo, PIRLO!!!!!!

Your job!

I think the PL still is the strongest league. Most leagues got 2 good teams. PL got like 6! Is very competitive league, and still the best in the world.

It's about work rate? Shit then, lets go to the Mexican league and look at the player with the most work rate and lets buy him!!!! Seriously, you lost the plot here when you compare Bundesliga to CL and PL.

Napoli 'agree £32m fee for Higuain'

It's not even debatable comparing Bundesliga to CL, PL and then EL.....well EL is shit, so you win that one!

Oscar work rate for one whole season in the PL, champions League, and europa League compare to a bundesliga? Yeah right!

Oscar is one of the players with the biggest work rate. The one that don't much of nothing when we are defensive is Mata. If anything kdb can take Mata spot, not Oscar.

The defensive thing about josh I remember when carlo said he wanted to put him in the mid as a dm type of player. Now I see why he wanted to do that, as josh has the ability to become some type of pirlo/alonso type of player. But he needs the right type of loan. Hopefully the club and Mourinho can find something interesting for him.

He seems like the new Gerrard.

The pre season hype ala Marín? I still think him and piazon need to go on a loan and prove they are good to start on the team like kdb, lukaku, and Kalas have done.

Well when he gets healed I think we can rest assured that he will be vital for the team. But depending how long he will be out cause he will need to get back into his game.

Damn that sucks, it was going all well and then this.

Tottenham agree deal for Chadli

Like Michael Jordon coming back many times. His first comeback was epic. He should have stayed retired after the Jazz games, but he came back again..... Likewise Drogba, needs to stay away. Sorry, but no matter how much we like him the way the left was epic. Leave it like that for the history books!

I'm excited to see Mark start! I always been a big fan of him. It's an honor to have him at the club, even if it's for a year. Just like it was when we had Hiddink, one of my favorite managers from when I was growing up.

I have to say, it seems like Hazard is one of the happiest guy in the squad at this moment. Of course that all changes when the clown Side Show Bob comes into the team!

I do like the Godfather nickname. The happy one sounded so gay....pardon the homo reference, but I been watching too much Family Guy and TED! And the Special One, always sounded like a mentally retarded tag you give to someone "Special" So the Godfather got a better sound to it. A more mature nickname for a more mature manager.

Yeah pre-season can make a team look too bad like City, and too good like Arsenal!

Pretty much like I thought. City favorites to win the PL this season. We don't really got a chance, as we still yet to solve the midfield and offense problem. Van Ginkel might become good, but will not happen in his first season. And unless we get Rooney, we are stuck with Torres..... Which to be fair, all this is okay. I did not expect for Chelsea to challenge big in this season either. It will be another season like with the one we had with Benitez. Next season is when we need to challenge big. If we are still a "work in progress" by next season, then it will be safe to say we are becoming the new Arsenal!
