The Mourinho Thread

[calculatingInfinity 1,472]

He admitted to lying with the exact same last transfer window.... and he should lie about it, why let anyone know you're desperate for their players or promise fans anything when you can't be sure it will happen.

I don't like selling Mata to United one bit, but I can see how it has to happen. Do you want an unhappy player in the squad? It has an effect on all the others.

You must realize that our situation back then and United's situation is not comparable. United have a bad manager and a bad staff with him as well. I'm sure that they won't win the CL like we did in that season.

Let's let the fans of United say things like this to us, be the better man. I'm sure it's not hard to be a better man than a United fan anyway lol.

its clearly not about that ...... everybody knows that emotion of a player or a fan is the least factor to be considered in transfers, after all these are high profile business deals involving millions of dollars... but footballing reasons should be the top of the list... helping man utd doesn't make any sense in that regard... chelsea could afford loosing a bit and sell him abroad, and had the situation was reversed man utd would clearly have done that... honestly try to answer this, would any of the big clubs sell a top player with 3 years left on his contract to another top epl club? also, doesn't it bother you that jose deals with man utd. way smoother than he does with the other clubs, say Arsenal?

Seeing Mata in a United shirt will be sickening, but to turn against Mourinho is beyond ridiculous.

Well it's mostly Gilvorak and Lionsden that have an agenda against Mourinho.

I mean it's okay to question one or two things and be sad/confuse/angry about the whole Mata situation.

But these two guys been at it since the first day he got here.

Jose you 1 intelligent mother fucker you not even finish chess game planning and you already insert fear in wenger you sure know mind game

[ZOS 580]

which ever side you flip this, Jose has fucked up BIG TIME ... doesn't mean I don't love jose, doesn't mean I question his ablity as a football manager. But its time he takes his toung out of MUFC's and the FA's ass... its time he gets his priority right, he is the manager of CFC, it is not his job to watch over the standard of the league (just incase he let Juan join MU to keep good players in the league) or make players (or referees or journos) happy ...

[The_Flash 1,144]

I wonder who made him "unhappy" in the first place

Made him unhappy? lol

He was on the bench not sent to Govan, well poor mata will have to suffer getting paid twice as much as he was here and becoming Utd's most expensive player, how will he cope? Lol

[Rambo 1,729]

No more Ballack

No more Didier

No more Kalou

No more Mata

No more Bison

I thought this would be an interesting reading, see above.

this is exactly as most of us said here about the recent transfers.

He got £37 million for a player that sits on the bench. I didn't want him to go to United either but you can't force him to move abroad

[bushman 2,043]

Jose has carried out Mata´s wish. Why is it so hard to understand that ?

How does the comment in bold make any sense or relevant to the original point?

So a player of mata's quality and status pre mourinho should have been ecstatic sitting on the bench?. Like jose himself said back in 06 during the Sheva fiasco that there would be problem if Shevchenko was happy sitting on the bench (something to that effect) as it indicates lack of ambition on a players part especially ones that aren't used to been mere squad players and in mata's case was the club's back to back poty.

[Fernando 6,585]

What I don't understand is why are people so afraid that United will become a force because of mata?

They won't!

And it's because of who's managing them.

Look at City for the last season. They bought a lot of talents but was able to win a title in the last minute. And after that it was more of the same, mediocre performance.

After city came to their senses they hired a really top coach and in a season you can see the major changes the team has undergone from a mediocre coach to a top coach.

It will be the same at United, no matter what players they get, they will always fall short because of who's managing them.
