Laylabelle 9,539 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 It's nice that again he has the whole transfer window to make decisions rather then someone new coming in as has been the case before Essien19, manpe and CHOULO19 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 After 2005/2006 we rested on our laurels and slowly got worse which culminated in the horror season of 10/11, yes we still won trophies but it was clear as early as 2007 that we were going to need younger blood sooner rather than later.Hopefully we do things differently this time, there is always way's to improve a team/squad.

Maybe not.Think it was the right thing to happen when Mourinho left the time he did in 2007. It allowed him to gain experience in different leagues and even he wanted to win the 3 main leagues. If he hadn't been sacked then, he would have probably left at some point and the timeline of events may have turned out differently to the one we've experienced. termninja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather he left Inter for Madrid than us for Madrid, that would have made many of us very bitter and thankfully didn't happen.As for his love it is undeniable...think he loves all the clubs he managed apart from maybe Madrid, but he still respects them.

Roman did want Ancelotti in 2008 but he wanted to stay at Milan and we ended up with Scolari instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essien19 1,415 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 All in all i was a little bit disappointed that Jose continued keeping his squad small.Why didn't Jose use more young players in the last games of the season?We already are the Champions of England and it would have been the perfect benchmark for next season who we can trust.Jose is always so serious, he cares so much about winning, but if his aim is still building a team for the next decade we have to integrate more guys from the academy. At the moment English prospects are quite expensive and with the increase of the TV money its still going up.Nonetheless i trust Jose and he knows what is best for us. I expect a new engine in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at Mourinho's final games in the league only three wins in eleven and they were against Portsmouth. Reading and Birmingham. But it was a weird time after having basically an open cheque book Shevchenko was bought obviously against his wishes. He was an outstanding player at the time but to then buy the likes of Sidwell, Pizarro and Ben Hiam on free transfers was just bizarre. Apparently he didn't rate Alex and was one of the reasons he fell out with the hierachy. Personally i loved Alex and his free kicks were something else. He took one at St Andrews and it hit the bar and landed in the centre circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who watched him at the world cup of 2006, during which he was frankly useless, would have seen that he was finished. This just reinforces your point that we did not build on success back then. We had the biggest budget in world football but made appallingly bad use of it. We must do better this time and with a, relatively, smaller budget too.

Milan 17,963 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 8th league title of his career. Or maybe he meant his 8th trophy at Chelsea? I remember after the 2007 FA Cup Final he kept showing number six, his 6th trophy at the Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The choreographed substitution of the Drog made no sense to me since it used up a slot which could only make it harder to get Jeremie into the game. That is the thing about trust however, it's easy to say you trust someone when you agree with what they're doing but that's not really trust is it? That's just saying that you think they are right. Trust is about backing someone's judgement when you don't agree with, or don't understand, the decisions being made. I definitely don't agree with the side Jose picked yesterday or with the way he handled the substutions but he has earned my trust so I can let it go.
