The Mourinho Thread

[Toli 977]

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.

and what if they now reach CL (witht he help of mata) and then buy some top-class player and next season will be fighting for the EPL title?

moyes is not as bad as people making him out to be. we would also struggle if 2 of our best players (hazard + whoever you choose) would be missing for big parts of the season. futhermore their squad needs an overhaul and it will come in the summer. cant believe how easy people are writing them off.

As much as I respect Mourinho, no one is infallible and I believe Jose has made two big mistakes so far.

1. Marginalizing our two times player of the year and thus forcing him to our biggest rivals.

2. Marginalising De Bruyne and selling such a great talent. He has the potential to be one best footballers in Germany and will shine in the world cup.

Marginalising?, in the grand scheme of things Mata & De Bruyne are irrelevant, Jose priortised his philosophy over individuals and that's how it should be.

marginalizing our two times player of the year

^ Also, even IF we were going to 'go down that route' and compare 'individuals' (I haven't been), Mourinho is one of the greatest managers in sporting history, Mata is nobody compared to someone of that calibre, absolutely nobody.

Great post. I have flip flopped on Mata a bit - but we need to focus on our team now. It's done people need to get over it.

Torres is a great case - Liverpool fans moaned and look at Suarez now - arguably a better player than Torres in his prime!

Good 5-0 today and people will chill

And hope Jose is having a good bday!

Great post, although I feel its lost on these forums. People will ignore these and carrying on bitching about Mourinho.

Except according to all reports by the media and the words of the manager himself, Roman and the board were more involved in this deal than Mourinho himself.
