Santiago.

imagine if it does actually work, the most feared strikers in the PL over the past 5 years along one another

From a neutral perspective, viewing the fact the majority of the players who get paid ridiculous amounts and don't perform, the fact the veterans are standing against the manager, the fact youth rarely comes into play, the fact we spent around 200million euros on our squad and were losing against 15million squads, all honestly, i would view us pretty pathetically in how the garbage of the media is run

Didn't Dortmund turn down 40mill from Arsenal?

True that, zombrotta, van bommel, on the side

Oh man is right, the fuck is Torres still doing here next season?

had a dream we lost 2-3 Prove me wrong

the first comments on the first page, they had no clue what was to come...

If we do actually pay for his and he actually does flop, i will have no choice but to kill myself

Malouda scored in international duty, a clear and logical reason for avb to start him

BLASPHEMY!!!!

Yes, they were apart of the academy Which i said, countless times over and over again, he was tactically brilliant which i praised him for, how he outsmarted fergie with the quality of players he had, my only negative is how he never continued to stay at a club, go over transition, rebuild a squad, compete in a season with an ageing squad, and continue to build success, just like SAF. As for barca, i wouldn't make any nonsense remark like that, to this point, i have always reasoned logically. Mathematically, they are still in 3 competitions, Madrid are in 2. The fact that barca are a squad built around patience, possession as well as going against teams who are 90 percent parking the bus, it is difficult in those standards the fact they have been lacking a pure striker ever since villa's injury. Madrid however play a fast paced attacking football which always plays to any team's advantage. Yes they are 10 points ahead, but i doubt it will get any higher.

Producing youngsters isnt what my main point of argument is. It's the fact that year after year he continues to build the team, bringing moral as well as attacking football ever since the 80's. He's stuck with that team to thick and thin and during transitions, he took time, and rebuilt the squad to become a dominant force in English football once more. Over the past 5 years, he has spent less than City and Chelsea, he relies on smart transfers as well as a system that builds to players strengths year in and year out which plays to his advantage. With the absence of Ronaldo and Tevez, many predicted united would fall, yet he formatted and reshaped the squad that focused on the entire squad rather than ronaldo. Realistically, Pogba, Cleverly, Kean, and Morrison if he wasn't a douche.

Where have I attempted to shit on the memory of Mourinho and Chelsea? Debatable, highly debatable Where have i even made a remark of disrespect to his accomplishments at Chelsea Remarkable A truly logical and rational post

Which i mentioned, countless times, his tactics are outstanding

Which just proves my point. Year after year he portrays talent and generation after generation united have continued to be successful under him.

Since when did i not say that Mourniho wasn't Chelsea's best manager? If you haven't noticed, my arguments are going throughout this topic, My basic statement and point throughout this argument in how many believe that "Jose Mourinho is the best manager in the world", is that he inherited world class players to begin with at Porto, Chelsea, Inter, and Madrid. I would like to see him manage wolves or how he could stay at a club for a period of time and build a team generation after generation, rather than leaving after a couple years to another big shot club with talent flowing though the ranks. When you claim that i don't take the time to read, your being hypocritical as would have known that i clearly stated that i only praise Mourinho for his tactics in outsmarting his opponent. Porto won the Champions league due to a pair of luck getting aside United, and outclassed Monaco in the final. At Chelsea, was purely in the right direction with the cash being brought in for the players as well as Mourinho, who's tactics brought a premier league title for the club as well as other domestic cups. At Inter, yet again, talent emerging throughout the club and out smarted tactically against Barcelona. At Madrid, with the most expensive squad in the history of football, yet only managed to win one trophy while pep manages to humiliate him 6 times in 9 meetings, Madrid only winning 1. While he cowards back with 5 defenders and a 3 men midfield at home against barca, a sight of him being too cautious. Like i said previously, his tactics are the only thing i praise him for. He was inherited a great squad where ever he went, but his tactics with that club got him to where his prestige is. It's purely based on preference, but being a Chelsea forum, there will be biased reasoning into play rather than logical thinking. Post of the fuckin year, 'How he took on the great barca side?' LMAO, which one? the 5-0 defeat? the 2-0 Defeat? the 3-1 defeat? The most expensive squad in history, with world class talent even on the bench, i would have expected them too. 1 victory out of 9 against Barca is truly a great feat. How barca are still in mathematically 3 competitions in the season and Madrid are only in 2, never knew the season ended in feb.

Were Mikel and Diarra even part of Chelsea's academy? As CM standards, i hope you have some support rather than biased reasoning in how you think Mikel is better than Fletcher

If SAF isn't some 'miracle working youth developing legend', then how in good gracious is talent like that somehow emerged? SAF- Giggs, Beckham, Scholes, Neville, Fletcher, Butt, Pique, Brown, Oshea, Rossi, Welbeck, Cleverly The question is not if pep can only be judged if he goes for another club, it's actually a matter if he can continue to produce great players year after year comparable to the likes of SAF. See now your taking a stab like a pathetic fool Your statement is at a point where it reaches new lengths of irrational and illogical statements. He already had world class talent when he approached porto, Chelsea, inter, as well as Madrid. That is the main question mark over his forehead, United vs Bayern, yet again, they were not the better team, but luck guided them through, just As porto v United and Inter v Barca. It's the nature of football and how the ball rolls. This is not a matter of being biased for Chelsea, this is just logical thinking, and the idea in how so many people manage to think that Mourniho is the best manager in the world just astonishes me, truly.

A specific post was made that received about 8 reps with the comment being, "Mourinho is the best manager----" which i replied in a way that i showed a certain disagree. When Mourinho approached his clubs, he was already surrounded by gifted players, Porto, Chelsea, Inter, as well as Madrid, while he had an unlimited spending amount, and won cups year after year, yet people drool for him. He's always had luck on his side, Porto vs United, as well as Inter vs Barca, at the end, his team wasn't the better team, but he outsmarted them tactically. Apart from his tactics, i don't look upon him as 'the best manager in the world', in some cases a few members here would say. While the likes of SAF, who continues to build generation after generation of stars even with transitions periods throughout United's history, his vision as well as his brilliance stands out as the best manager who ever embraced the Premier league. Instead of breaking into the bank account, he produces youth into the team which emerges future stars. Then you look at Spain with Pep, who's vision of football that he experienced first hand and introduces it to the world in his own style. A team that was so out of form, that lost to Madrid in the league, that lost to United in the champions league, and the next season, manages to win the very first Sixtuplet his very first season with them. Bringing the best out of Xavi, Iniesta, as well as Lionel Messi, introducing youth from La Masia, controlling the team to play as a unit and bringing the greatest chemistry within a football team i have ever seen. I see similarities with AVB in how he is trying to bring his own vision to Chelsea. Lampard, Terry, Drogba, these are still Mourinho's players. This is why i disagree in bringing Mourinho back and why i am backing AVB, he is the future of Chelsea FC, Not Mourinho

Claiming he is one of the best managers in the world is different from saying he is the best manager, i'd love for you to convince me otherwise

Mourinho best manager in the world? There's a laugh

Nothing alike? Romeu shows no ability in off ball movement and positioning....? This discussion is over, i have no further motivation to carry on

he seems pretty keen on getting hulk

1-0 to the mighty blues

Drogba is injured apparently Given the face that it's Bolton and pulled out an average performance, doesn't satisfy me, but given our circumstances of recent games, i agree it was a better performance
