The Mourinho Thread

Well I was saying pre match that our defense is shaky.

This is just a sign of how shaky it can be at times.

While entertainment I still prefer a very tactical discipline display then being all over the map.

Yea. We looked shaky against two newly promoted teams in the previous match too. Defend like this at the Ethiad and they'll punish us.

Seasons barely starting, of course we're not gonna be in tip top form. City lost to Stoke so let's not act like they're destroying the field right now. We, and City, will get things together sooner rather than later.

Yea. Not too worried about that atm. Defence was one of the few things we were good at last year.

Since we're talking about this already, I think the only suitable replacements for Mourinho (god forbid he leaves in the next 5 years) are all unavailable. So Luis Enrique, Klopp and Simeone.

Frank Lampard has to manage us at some point as well

Agree with this. It does benefit us to a certain degree though since there wouldn't be another City popping up. The Prem is competitive enough as it is so I could live without it. The one to be careful of right now is United since this really benefits them. If they miss out on top 4 for a few seasons then I think as a whole, the gap between the New Rich(Us, City) and them would be closer. We may have had a brilliant transfer window but I doubt we can pull off deals the magnitude of Luiz and Mata every season.

Yes that's true and people tend to overlooked that.

We had an imbalance squad for the philosophy of Mourinho.

Now that he sold that excess we will be back to square one in the coming transfer window.

Meaning we will have to buy without much selling.

This is where Mourinho must come good with implementation of younger players from the Academy.

The club has spent a lot of money in this and will continue to do so, since this is one aspect that gets excluded from FFP calculations.

Even without anyone leaving imo every summer still have 50m or so anyway from revenue, sometime maybe even more depending on which competition we won. Also who to say with new signings come on in the players in the squad won't leave? For example lets say we sign Reus for 30m next summer and sell Salah for 5-10m or Schurrle for 20m, we are not really spending that much money on players.

The days of us just splash out 50m on a new striker without selling anyone is over imo, maybe one last time next summer if Costa prove he isn't up to it fitness wise/form wise this season but from then on it will be much more like this summer, only new players coming in if we ship out our own.
