The Mourinho Thread

Recommended Posts

These pre season tours to the States or the Far East have to be looked at. On the one hand and i suppose from the clubs point of view the most important money. Also exposure and the chance for overseas fans to see the team. On the flip side the players travelling for inordinate amounts of time and risking injury. This season especially it would appear that money was the only consideration because with the Charity Shield and an early start to the season why is this game against Fiorentina being shoe horned in?

Got to say i'm a natural pessimist but i do think this is going to be a rocky season. What Mourinho has to take into account is it's ok winning and playing lets face it pretty dull football. Playing that sort of football and losing well that's a different matter. The squad is looking paper thin and if it's a sort of one in one out transfer policy then we are pretty short of saleable assets. We have to bite Juventus's hand off if we can get some or most of Cuadrado's fee back. I love Ivan but he's no right back and i would switch Dave to right back and spend any money gained in the transfer market on a left back even though we had a perfectly good one in Bertrand.

I have a weird feeling that something has happened between him and the board. He looks so disjointed.

Yeah, he's told them which players he wants and the board and negotiators haven't been getting it done. That, or he's been told he can't spend much. That's what I think.

Mourinho has issues with youth players, doesn't he?

He said this about Solanke last season...

But now, looks like Solanke is heading out to Vitesse on loan. Starting training with them ahead of the move - http://www.vitesse.nl/nl/nieuws/detail/5143/dominic-solanke-traint-mee-bij-vitesse(it's in Dutch)

according to @Tomo, this is not true since he gives youth a chance....

He will tell you how he gave sporadically games to Huth and other younger players in his time....

Giving a game to people like Kalas in one big game ain't that great if it's not back with sustain game time.

Bertrand played an important game in CL final, but then what at Chelsea?

So just because Mourinho gives a player a game here and there don't mean much to me or the impact of the player. Has to be a sustained timing like he has done with Oscar.

Fuck it's easy to forget that Alan Brazil used to be a pro footballer look at the size of him. He looks like Baron Greenback from Dangermouse.

Its called ageing. Before you start poking fun at him, it might be you in some years time.
