The Mourinho Thread

[Heisenberg 1,824]

The truth is that no one nows whats on Roman's mind, and people saying Mourinho back to Chelsea is a done deal are fools, and people saying otherwise are as fool as well.

Quote of the day.Thank you mister.

If we actually go for Pellegrini when Mourinho is available, things could get a little ugly.

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Lets be honest, no chance of winning the title under Pellegrini.José is our only choice and he will go from Madrid, so, dont fuck up this time.

[xPetrCechx 13,564]

ONLY JOSE

[Hamilton 2,120]

In WHS we trust, Jose is coming...

[Henrique 9,133]

So we are supposed to believe the one source you post but not the others?

No, it seems you must could not understand what I said.

[manpe 10,861]

Tbf, telegraph is more reliable than any source i've seen saying Mourinho "will definitely" return.

Are there anymore "reliable" and "unreliable" sources? As much as I know very few papers are considered reliable, and even those which are are printing shit now taken from unreliable sources (for example Sky Sports used to be reputable, but they've been printing bollocks taken from tabloids for a long time now).

I think we should drop this "unreliable" and "reliable" bullshit and take everything as is. The press always have their agendas, which makes them all unreliable to a degree, until they have trustworthy and confirmed sources. 95% of articles don't have that, so in that sense Sky, BBC etc. aren't better than all the Bilds, Marcas and Daily Mails of the world.

Tbf I'm sick of reading all the comments like "Goal.com? bullshit. Daily Fail? bullshit." and so on, everybody knows that already, there is no way for us to distinguish what's truth and what's not... it's hit and miss and always has been. Discussing rumours has never been based on reliability to be honest. It's partly entertainment, partly wishful thinking, very rarely the truth.

Its seems DM knows Jose is set to become the new manager, and will give the captaincy to Luiz.

I wouldn't see anything wrong with that if that happened. I can't see him stripping Terry from captaincy like, how to say, definitely, but since he wouldn't probably be a regular anymore, it would make sense to give the armband more permanently to a regular starter. Terry would still be the overall captain, or "the general", but Luiz would wear the armband most of the time. Although where would that leave Cech? But I think Luiz is more of a captain material than Cech is.

[Hutcho 8,443]

I can see Mourinho making him vice captain of lampy leaves.

Being a captain - IMHO - is something one should earn - and in no way has Luiz done enough for Chelsea to be a captain. And on a different note: should Abramovich make this kind of decisions?

Fair enough, my point is just over the years i've found the telegraph to be a pretty good source.

Luiz has shown himself to be a leader and to be fair, he has won the Champions League. In fact he was apparently crocked in that match but played anyway and did us all proud.

If he isn't captain material then who is in the current squad?

Cech - I'm not a massive fan of keepers being captain, but he's a good shout.

Mata - leads by example but not the most vocal player on the pitch.

And that's it.

I have nothing against Luiz. He might be "captain material" - I cannot judge that before he actually shows he is capable of handling this kind of responsibility. But is his English good enough?

Cech on the other hand often calms people down and would (possibly) be more respected by the younger players. Then again, it's just a personal opinion - but if not Cech then I'd rather see Cahill or Cole in that role.

But if you think Luiz isn't capable why do you think Cahill is? Luiz has done more than Cahill has for this club.

Luiz is one of the few players in the team who drive the team on, he has to be one of the prime contenders for captaincy, definitely over Cahill. The only thing that's holding Luiz back is probably his English, which isn't even that bad right now, but he can improve that.

Cahill shouldn't even be considered IMO simply because he's not even one of our starting players.

[Spike 12,049]

What has Cahill done to be captain? Is it because he is English? Is it because he is a CB? Is it because he will automatically become World Class like JT if he is handed the armband?

Nothing against Gazza but it's easy to have high standards after a decade of JT as captain.

telegraph is no more reliable, just considered a better class of paper but sports section no better

But I'm not saying he is not capable - I'm saying I cannot judge whether he is or isn't capable. But yes, I have some concerns and would personally prefer a more mature player.

The reason I mentioned Cahill and Cole is mainly because they're English and more familiar with the culture/unspoken rules of English football.
