Popular Post! Jase 43,479 Posted February 10, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted February 10, 2014 Another home run victory for Mourinho...http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/feb/10/jose-mourinho-manuel-pellegrini-calculator"I don't have to repeat myself a lot, but everybody knows what Manchester City are. What I would like to say is that, for example, Pellegrini was talking about the money we've spent. I think he's a fantastic coach, and I respect that a lot, and on top of that, outside his football career, he's an engineer by qualification. I don't think an engineer needs a calculator to do Mata £37m and De Bruyne £18m, so that's £55m. Matic is £21m and Salah is £11m. That's £32m, and 55 minus 32 is 23."So Chelsea, in this transfer window, generated £23m. It's easy to understand that this is working with financial fair play, 'fair' financial fair play. There are no arguments against that. This is what we're doing. Others aren't doing the same. We are building a team for the next decade, if possible. [City] have a team to win now because they don't have a team for 10 years. They have a team for now, for the next three or four. So experience, potential, power, not worried about financial fair player because, in the summer, they just spend ... We don't need a calculator for this. It's easy: +23. sureshot, AswinR, Strike and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zouma does feel like a summer signing despite being bought last month. And even if you count Zouma into the spending, it still didn't exceed what we got in return from the sale.

Or how about using another defender (in midfield or defense), like some *other* managers do when needed. You know what some folks call tactics and formations...

Although Arsenal have become slightly more pragmatic in their approach this season, which is evident at times, one gotta question if Wenger ever drills that defensive and tactical know-how into his team like say Mourinho does with ours. That team he put out against Liverpool may not necessarily be the wrong one but don't think they are tactically sound and defensively aggressive and solid to make it work despite having 5-6 attacking players. Other teams have had many attacking players like them in most games and yet still achieve positive results. Also I was wondering recently, looking at their midfield players, how many of them would actually even get to Mourinho's team when playing the bigger teams? Probably none.

Though I'd insist by saying that a duck is still a duck no matter what you call it. I'm all for rounded players, but when you have Arteta as your most defensive player in the midfield in a tough away match, there must be something wrong with your strategy and/or tactics. The other players are even more lightweight. Is it fair to ask Cazorla to go and win all aerial duels for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Barbara 15,149 Posted February 10, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted February 10, 2014 Todays presser:http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1bost7_mourinho-press-conference-before-the-match-west-brom_sportand it must be said that the league is more competitive this year than in previous ones. Arsenal and Liverpool are stronger than they've been in years, but mainly the mid-table teams (except ManUtd ) are much stronger than they used to be. So having 56 points now or leading the league is much more difficult this season than it would have been in the past two seasons imo. Even City is a tad stronger than they were (thanks to Mancini leaving).That's how enormous what he's been doing is.It happened again. I said something here and then José said the same in his presser a few hours/days later.Why I don't have the same tendency with the lottery numbers? damn it!

Pizy 19,377 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Seeing more quotes of José today saying he feels sorry for United and their current situation. I've said this before, but it just doesn't sit right with me. It's a bit cringey. He'll stir the pot with Wenger and Pellegrini but goes soft when there's anything to do with United.Wish he'd stick the dagger in and twist it a bit.

The_Flash 1,144 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think from what Jose has been hinting at I think we are going to get a big and inevitably expensive striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty telling quote I think.I can see Lukaku being sold and Piazon too. Courtois we'd be insane to sell. We could use the former two to raise funds for a new forward.

Doesn't seem like a player that will fit to the profile of the team that Mourinho is trying to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 As soon as pellegrini had blurted that stuff up in thw presser, he would have been kicking himself. I had no doubt that jose had his answers prepared even before pele had said those stuff. But the way he got into the old guy is just AWESOME.Jose is truly a master of mind games.this is gonna infuriate pele more than anything and more than just mou laying into him it's the way he first includes pele's profession and theb goes on to slate him. just GENIUS.
