dutch city bandwagoner on suicide watch edition
Arsenal vs Man City 20:00
reminder that manchester is blue
>>64380903
and a dirty old town.
>>64380889
Why is leister so elite?
>>64380903
It's actually brown and grey
>van laal
>>64380951
Because they score fuckloads of goals. Unfortunately they can't defend, which will ultimately cost them
Van Gaal out fugging when?
How upset are you all going to be when we have the greatest manager of all time Pep Guardiola?
We're true blue and we don't give a crud!
Van Lel is one bad result away from death. The mancs are at breaking point.
Also, the slavering press hacks want Mouyes in the job, it's their total dream.
>>64381011
>>64380963
end of next season when he retires
>>64381038
Pep isn't going to Chelsea lad.
>>64381045
>mfw giggs takes over
Mourinho to Madrid
Pep to City
Pellegrini to Napoli
Giggs to take over from Van Laal
Simeone to Chelsea
>>64381052
Better than Mouyes desu.
When are Liverpool going to get one of these big name meme managers?
>>64381086
When they become a big club
>>64381062
I think you mean Pellegrini to Chelsea.
Hmmm.
Red Cafe poll:
Mongo - yes, no?
Yes - 47%
No - 52%
Nice civil war there, please make this happen.
>>64381099
Don't see it happening. Why would Pellegrini bother going to a club that he knows will eventually sack him? I think he's either going to Napoli or to manage Chile.
How did Liverpool get rekt by Watford? /sp/ told me they were a big club
>>64381107
Stoke 1-1 Man Utd
Villa 0-2 West Ham
Bournemouth 2-2 Palace
Chelsea 1-1 Watford
Liverpool 1-2 Leicester
City 4-0 Sunderland
Swansea 1-2 West Brom
Spurs 2-0 Norwich
Newcastle 1-3 Everton
Southampton 2-2 Arsenal
>>64381114
Every club would eventually sack him, besides he can't be that far off retiring/dying.
>>64381110
Wasn't it 80-20 or even higher at the start?
>>64381116
No one ever called WatUdineseBford big club.
>>64381129
but he wouldnt get as much of a chance at chelsea like hes gotten at city. if he was at chelsea and got results like hes gotten while as the city manager he wouldve been sacked about 5 times by now.
>>64381132
Udinese are Watford B at this point.
>>64381107
blunderland will win 2-1 mark my words
1-3 tonight
>>64381107
I like it
Chelsea needs a traditional Brazilian coach (that is someone that is not Tite, Dunga or Mano).
A laissez faire coach that let's the players do whatever they want.
>You don't want to defend? OK. Just score some more goals.
>You don't want to train hard today? OK.
Hello guys.
I'm sharing this info with you. You deserve it - great site.
Mourinho to United will happen tonight or tomorrow. Only thing remaining is contract details to be solved. I have a friend who is a Chelsea youth coach. He said he talked to Mourinho yesterday and that Mourinho said that him to United will be done and dusted soon. Mourinho also said that he wanted United to be thel ast club he manages (and Portugal or England after that). This friend of mine is very honest and has no reasons to lie to me. Nourinho is a fantastic coach and I honestly think this is a great match.
Congratulations, Man Utd, you are sure to win all the trophies from now.
Thank you for your time, /sp/.
>>64381122
Arsenal will comfortably beat Southampton imo, but solid predictions apart from that
>>64381184

>>64381176
they had one in scolari and it was a van laal level fail
>>64381243
Well, it is the truth. If the players are lazy and will rebel against a demanding coach, there is no point in getting someone like Guardiola, that is pretty damn demanding.
so the notoriously ABE platini and blatter have fallen
what a great day
proof that ABEs have no moral standing
>>64381268
Mourinho wasn't just demanding, he was demanding and a coward.
Guardiola also has an idea of how to play, that can easily compensate for some player being out of form. He doesn't seem against rotating.
Read an article on Sepp Blatter on the BBC. Do Brits really call band-aids "plasters"?
>>64381297
>Band Aid
What's that, some sort of charity event?
>>64381297
why do you care?
>>64381297

>>64381289
>Mourinho wasn't just demanding, he was demanding and a coward.
Why was he a coward?
And Guardiola would be screwed with this Chelsea team. No one can compensate a rebellion. Player rebellions are extremely common in Brazil, even with laissez faire coaches and I have never seen a rebellion not working in bringing down a coach.
>>64381309
Brand name that became a generic noun. Trademark death.
>>64381310
It's just a question. Stop being so insecure.
>>64381297
>calling a stickysticks-injuryfix a "band aid"
wtf america
>>64381315
>Why was he a coward?
Because he didn't have the balls to drop the players who were not playing well.
Because he didn't have the balls to actually make Chelsea play, to put some effort into making them better than "pass the ball to Hazard and hope he does something", as soon as things stopped being perfect he simply defended and hoped to win 1-0.
Also, I think it's time to take a look at the players Chelsea have and ask yourself if it looks like they have strong personalities and power like the old guard did. It's time to ask WHY there was a rebellion.
>>64381255
Scolari is not the type of manager that the huebro is talking about.
>>64381357
>Because he didn't have the balls to drop the players who were not playing well.
He was dumb, not a coward.
>Because he didn't have the balls to actually make Chelsea play, to put some effort into making them better than "pass the ball to Hazard and hope he does something", as soon as things stopped being perfect he simply defended and hoped to win 1-0.
Is that cowardice?
>Also, I think it's time to take a look at the players Chelsea have and ask yourself if it looks like they have strong personalities and power like the old guard did. It's time to ask WHY there was a rebellion.
Well, they just sacked a coach. There was a rebellion because the players are lazy and don't want to make an effort. Just like pretty much every anti-coach rebellion there is.
>>64380889
City no longer refers to Dubai. From now on the term City refers to the GOATs only.
>>64381379
No, he was a coward. He was scared of actually risking something.
Yes, it's cowardice. His desire to not concede because his obsession since the defeat to Spurs, that to me is being a coward, being afraid of losing so your first thought is not conceding.
How do you know they are lazy? I mean, Hazard worked on his tracking back (because this is what matters for an AM, tracking back. Who cares if he can't finish, offensive players aren't supposed to score) when criticized him against A. Madrid after having played him half injured, what more could Hazard do?
Why wouldn't Pep come to Chelsea?
This squad suits him perfectly, and he seems like the perfect person to put some pep into this team anyway. Plus Fabregas and Pedro know the guy doesn't fuck around he can get the best out of them/this team.
>>64381129
underrated post
>>64381434
He hates Fabregas though
>>64381434
United have more spending power, City have a better squad. Why choose Chelsea?
>>64381415
>No, he was a coward. He was scared of actually risking something.
Uh, I don't know if you realize this, but by playing those players he was also risking something.
>Yes, it's cowardice. His desire to not concede because his obsession since the defeat to Spurs, that to me is being a coward, being afraid of losing so your first thought is not conceding.
Not conceding is the obsession of pretty much every coach (except my fellow Hue coaches that are more concerned with being friends with the players). I would say that every coach works so that he won't lose. And again, you were complaining about a lack of offensive planning.
>How do you know they are lazy? I mean, Hazard worked on his tracking back (because this is what matters for an AM, tracking back. Who cares if he can't finish, offensive players aren't supposed to score) when criticized him against A. Madrid after having played him half injured, what more could Hazard do?
Because they rebelled because the training was too hard and they had to defend.
>>64381434
>america
>come to Chelsea
Hmmm
>>64381434
>Why wouldn't Pep come to Chelsea?
They have less money than City, City would give him more power than Chelsea would and at City he wouldn't need to clean up a large part of the squad (but then, he did clean up Barcelona's squad). City also has more talent from the midfield and up than Chelsea does.
>there are people in this thread who unironically think Leicester will not win the league
top pleb
>>64381472
>by playing those players he was also risking something.
What was the safe choice, play Costa and let the fans blame him or play Remy and have the fans criticizing you for picking him? Play Hazard as striker or give Traore a chance?
>Not conceding is the obsession of pretty much every coach
No, they are obsessed with winning.
>you were complaining about a lack of offensive planning.
That's a consequence of Chelsea being forced to not concede. They don't come up with offensive movements, they attack with 4 players at best, they don't have good width because the first thought is must defend.
Last year Chelsea dropped points against good teams always in the same fashion. They went out against PSG in the same way. They still haven't learnt the lesson (though it looked like they did against Sunderland).
>the training was too hard and they had to defend.
And last year wasn't? and 2 years ago they didn't have to defend?
Why are our players so shit?
>>64381520
you left rodgers in charge for 3 years
>>64381107

I expect a 1-3 victory for Liverpool.
>>64381520

The defence is hilariously bad.
Manlet fullbacks.
No wingers.
Lucas and Henderson are still the midfield 2.
Too many 'Number 10s'.
Eternal injury list.
Brazilians.
>>64381573
got a cheeky tenner on mourinho to be next united manager when it was 8/1 so I am
>>64381609
pls no i just cant imagine it
>>64381469
>Why choose Chelsea?
Because the pieces are already there to succeed, just like Bayern. City needs remodeling once players like Demichelis, Kolarov, Yaya, and Zabaleta leave. I doubt Pep would be interested in rebuilding, especially when you have nothing to rebuild around (mabye Debruyne, but meh..). Chelsea just needs to replace old man Terry.
I think Pedro is the key to unlocking this move. Pep would be very keen with working with someone he knows very well rather than dealing with someone like Sterling.
>>64381576
All of this is correct, and that's what breaks my heart. Instead of buying players that he club needed, the "committee" has bought the same players, so the squad is imbalanced as fuck.
>>64381505
>What was the safe choice, play Costa and let the fans blame him or play Remy and have the fans criticizing you for picking him? Play Hazard as striker or give Traore a chance?
Most fans actually wanted Remy to play over Costa. They wouldn't blame Mourinho if Remy played poorly.
>No, they are obsessed with winning.
And Mourinho isn't?
>That's a consequence of Chelsea being forced to not concede. They don't come up with offensive movements, they attack with 4 players at best, they don't have good width because the first thought is must defend.
1- You are factually incorrect.
2- Defensive tactics are not cowardly. They are just tactics aimed at getting the best results.
3- Mourinho did have a lot of success with much more defensive tactics than those at 2015 Chelsea. 2004/5 Chelsea and 2009 Inter were much, much more defensive and he had a lot of success there.
>Last year Chelsea dropped points against good teams always in the same fashion. They went out against PSG in the same way. They still haven't learnt the lesson (though it looked like they did against Sunderland).
Mourinho has a stellar league record. He won the league in 3 different countries.
In the Abramovich era, only once they won the EPL without Mourinho.
>And last year wasn't? and 2 years ago they didn't have to defend?
Apparently, they got tired of it.
>>64381619
astonishing delusion
>>64381619
Apart from the fact the whole of the chelsea board are a reported massive pain to work with but sheikh alli bin oil stacks sits back and let's a director a football, who happens to have worked with pep in the past deal with it all, and lets face it birdface pelligrini has been pretty meh and no firings, whereas roman likes a good firing every couple of years to keep people on their toes. And city can dodge FFP with their stupid sponsorship bullshit because of muhammed al towelheads cousins that own that stupid airline, the inbred fucks
>>64381619
Chelsea needs to be rebuilt. They need a new left back (with Azpilicueta moving to the right), a centreback, a box to box midfielder, an attacking midfielder and a striker.
>>64381632
yesh. they spent 75mil in summer on 3 players.
benetkke, firminho, ings and gomez.
the first 2 cant play klopps system and ings and gomez are permcrocked.
>>64381675
I get the feeling ings would have done well under klopp as well, he's quick, works hard, link up play is ok and can finish, and he's taken a big leap up so would be willing to be rotated even he was doing well and would always keep running
I think Van Gaal and Mou will not be the last big name managers to struggle in the neo-epl.
Have Chelshit bandwagoners killed themselves yet?
>>64381637
>Most fans actually wanted Remy to play over Costa
Yes, like most fans wanted to play X until he played and was shit.
>And Mourinho isn't?
No.
>1
No.
>2
They are when you do it because you don't want to concede and not when they are the best option.
>3
Different teams.
>they got tired of it
I can ask how you know but you would reply saying that you know because a rebellion happened in a neat circular logic.
>Mourinho has a stellar league record. He won the league in 3 different countries.
True. Does it make what I said false?
Should we look at how much he won before and after Inter? should we look at the fact he costed Chelsea the league in 2013-14 with his decisions? or how he costed Chelsea the league this season?
>>64381674
They need a leftback if they don't rate Baba, they need a midfield for the bench, a centreback , and they need a striker if Costa wants to leave.
>>64381520
Skrtel has been hit and miss for years
Sakho just came back from injuries
>Lovren
Fullbacks spend more time attacking
Lucas, Coutinho and Firmino are Brazilian
Emre Can can't decide what he is
Sturridge and Ings are permaded
Benteke is an egg
Henderson and Flanagan are inbred
Mignolet and Bogdan should be a league lower
Lallana is le flashy technique with zero end product man

>calling anyone bandwagoners
>>64381741
nearly comrade, the main problem at the moment apart from the defence in the last couple of games has been linking play between attack and midfield, when milner lucas and allen all play together none of them are positive and look to drive into space, only henderson and sweaty turk do that so the game is being played a lot slower than klopp seems to want so we look toothless going forward, especially with benteke who likes to drop deep and hold the ball up, with no-one running past him it's just meh
anyone realy bored with football this season
the first division is just so boring these days I don't even want to watch it anymore
>>64381733
>Yes, like most fans wanted to play X until he played and was shit.
They still didn't blame Mourinho when that happened. No one was mad with him when Baba or Remy played like shit.
>No.
Jose Mourinho is widely known for being obsessed with winning above all.
>No.
Yes
>They are when you do it because you don't want to concede and not when they are the best option.
Not wanting to concede is usually the best option.
>Different teams.
And? The tactics worked.
>I can ask how you know but you would reply saying that you know because a rebellion happened in a neat circular logic.
Emenalo and Terry pretty much confirmed there was a rebellion.
>True. Does it make what I said false?
>Should we look at how much he won before and after Inter?
He won the Spanish League against one of the greatest Barcelona teams ever with a record amount of points and the EPL with Chelsea.
>should we look at the fact he costed Chelsea the league in 2013-14 with his decisions? or how he costed Chelsea the league this season?
Without Mourinho, how many times did Chelsea won the EPL in the Abramovich era? One.
>>64381674
LB - Nathan Ake
CB - kalas/omeruo - both young and promising talents who already start for their national teams
MF - they have Cuadrado

>>64381833
this is why you're seeing managers going back to clubs where they were previously.
there's a serious shortage of managers, which is why everyones after pep.
>>64381733
They need a good starting box to box midfielder, so that they don't get bullied by the strong team, a starting attacking midfielder, since Pedro is just OK and Oscar is very inconsistent and a striker that actually scores goals (buying Costa and selling Lukaku was a huge mistake).
>>64381826
That's nice if you want to get the 6th place in the next season. Not nice if you want to compete for the EPL.
>>64381815
Remy played once and Baba only when Brani was injured or no name games.
What's widely known is not the truth, for example we all knew that Mourinho was a master at PR and man management, this season proved the opposite.
The tactics worked because those were different teams with different players.
>Emenalo and Terry pretty much confirmed there was a rebellion.
A rebellion happened. I'm talking about why. You know that they are lazy because a rebellion happened because they are lazy.
So he has won one league, spending a shitload, against a Barça that actually wasn't at its best from 2011 to 2013.
>One.
Without Mourinho Chelsea won 1 CL, do we really want to play this game? Only one league, more cups.
And no, don't bring up the milk cup, we both know it's borderline irrelevant.

>>64381888
>Remy played once and Baba only when Brani was injured or no name games.
The fans did not complain when any of the backups played like shit, no matter the circumstance.
>What's widely known is not the truth, for example we all knew that Mourinho was a master at PR and man management, this season proved the opposite.
So, every player was lying when they said Mourinho is obsessed with winning?
>The tactics worked because those were different teams with different players.
Yeah, because they had better players with better attitudes.
>A rebellion happened. I'm talking about why. You know that they are lazy because a rebellion happened because they are lazy.
That's what most people said. That they disliked the tactics, that they thought they were working too hard, etc.
>So he has won one league, spending a shitload, against a Barça that actually wasn't at its best from 2011 to 2013.
Barcelona won the trebble in 2011. They lost to pre-Pep Bayern, but that was an amazing team.
And Mourinho spent less than his predecessor and successor at Real.
>Without Mourinho Chelsea won 1 CL, do we really want to play this game? Only one league, more cups.
>And no, don't bring up the milk cup, we both know it's borderline irrelevant.
We were talking about league play. I would also like to remind you that Mourinho has also won the UCL in those years.
What kind of football did Chelsea play in that Champions League? Was it free flowing, attacking football, where the players are free to express themselves?
>>64381887
>That's nice if you want to get the 6th place in the next season. Not nice if you want to compete for the EPL.
So what are you implying? Chelsea needs to spend to win? Why when you already have talent in your loanees (whom jose gave no fucks about)
>>64381107
it's magnificent
the only game that could be significantly mismatched is city-sunderland.. but sunderland has been city's bogie team in the past

>>64381968
It is very rare for an elite team to be able to integrate a lot of youngsters in their starting team at the same time. You basically need to be lucky to have an once in 50 years generation, such as Barcelona had with Xavi and Iniesta and co. If you take Barcelona, of their core players, the youngest player that went from their academy to their team is Busquets, that is 27 years old.
There are many young, promising players that end up not becoming elite. Take Brazil, for example. Lulinha, Kerlon, Chera were supposed to be the next great players. Ganso was higher rated than Neymar.

But the players I mentioned (Ake, Kalas, Omeruo) aren't coming from the academy they're coming back from full seasons/multiple season loans, with much experience. And I specifically mentioned them and not someone like Piazon but I know for a fact that these guys can be viable subs for the squad, Ake has starting potential but considering most Chelsea fans forget the loan players they don't see the progress or sheer talent some of these players have.
>Ganso was higher rated than Neymar
Heh, I watched that Santos team in 2010, especially when Robinho came back on loan. I don't remember Ganso being rated over Neymar, it was Neymar that people wanted in that 2010 WC team, although Ganso at the time was being touted as the next Kaka for Milan, lmao..

Most of the loaned players have a huge problem getting in lower sides.

Yes. Arse have their eternal hugbox threads and City have no fans on /sp/.

Not recently. I just assume that any team that is recently promoted is fighting to stay up until they get whatever the magic number is to avoid relegation

Why did Van Gaal not buy this faggot?
They share the same philosophy of dribbling forward and passing it back immediately only to lob it forward to Bob Ross in an attempt for him to try to score. Huzzah and Bob Ross both play for the #1 Ranked team in the world according to Coca-Cola so the link up play between them would have been amazing.

Have a stupid question to ask
Article I read said Leicester may have a hard time holding onto Mahrez when the transfer window opens. Now I don't understand that - the team isn't under any obligation to transfer him regardless of what they are offered right? Did the writer do you think just mean they might get an offer for him that they can't refuse?
>>64399209
Wouldn't be too surprised if they lost both
>>64399264
Can't see them refusing if some retard offers them 35m for Mahrez.
>>64399264
Mahrez has already stated that he is stayting at least until the summer so you can rest easy lad
>>64399264
Just a writer trying to stir things up everyone knows both vardy and Mahrez won't leave at Christmas
>>64399281
>>64399287
>>64399296
Thanks guys. I don't know too much about this sport but I watched the last 20 minutes of the Arsenal Man City game yesterday and it was really exciting to watch so I've been on a learning spree. Still need to decide what team to support
>>64399264
they are under no obligation to transfer him because he is under contract but if he runs his contract down he will walk away for free and every year they wait his value goes down as his contract dwindles, so if a club gets a really good offer for a player they have to balance their desire for the money against how big a blow his loss will be to the team and how much time he has left under contract
>>64399338
Yeah that makes sense, the way the article phrased it I was wondering if there was some sort of clause in his contact that if a team offered X amount he had to be transferred but that sounded stupid to me
Thanks
>>64390316
I always see posts in a thread that I want to reply to but they were made so long ago I dont bother.

>>64399768
They are also less likely to choke than Arsenal who have a long history of fucking up in the league after getting knocked out of the CL.
>>64399364
Some contracts are like that. I believe Spanish clubs have to have that clause in the players contracts.
Other times clubs give in because players will go on strike if the club won't accept a bid for the player.
what is this dutch city bandwagoner shit all about, enlighten me
>>64399304
>Still need to decide what team to support
Do you have to? Quite a few of us just follow EPL and other leagues as a neutral (in some cases because the club we support are in an irrelevant league.)

He's either heavily autistic or a rusemaster.
>>64399364
That is a thing too, for example in Spain a minimum fee release clause is a necessity for every contract. 99% of the time they are retardedly high though so it's just a formality. Cristiano Ronaldo's is the highest atm, think it's something like one billion euro.
In saying that, Pedro from Barca signed for Chelsea after they triggered his 21m buyout clause. There are many variations, such as a release fee only for foreign teams or teams from a higher division. Very few contracts in English football use these so if you hear talk of such a thing in the news, most of the time it'll be bullshit.
>>64399304
Well as a foreigner it's only going to be fun for you if you support one of the big teams that actually have a chance of winning something, like Arsenal or Manchester City. Personally if I could choose which club to follow (a luxury not afforded to English born people) I would follow Arsenal.
>>64399817

It's interesting that Chelsea ran out of managers who would go there at the same time as Mou ran out of clubs who would have him.
I think the EPL are setting a dangerous precedent by sacking managers on a whim like this.
>>64402544
Mourinho didn't really run out, as long as he doesn't want the best clubs he can go anywhere. Shit, I bet Juve would kill for him.

Moyes lad what's your opinion on the potential van gaal sacking? On mou as favourite to replace?
Loving how United "fans" unironically want Mourinho to take over kek
They are willing to accept "Mr. Chelsea" not because of his playstyle or management skills, but because he has a reputation of winning
United "fans" go on about the "United way" of attacking football and playing youth, but under Mourinho that would essentially be all over
Fuck Paki's and Indians are a fickle and fair weathered bunch, next thing they'll be eying up Wonga after they fire Mourinho
United are too far gone, they are literally the new Liverpool

>Loving how United "fans" unironically want Mourinho to take over kek
I don't. I'd rather keep LvG than have that toxic cunt anywhere near my club. This is a terrible idea.
Like to think my opinion holds a little more weight than the millions of flip plastics but sadly it's not true. Just the next chapter in our saga of descent.
>>64406168
It's more about how terrible Van Gaal is.
Winning 1-0 every match under Jose would at least mean a goal gets scored by United.
>>64406144
if he goes, I'd rather he go for pep or mou. if we're just going to replace him with giggs then there's no point.
I'm on the fence about mourinho though, on the one hand he'll guarantee success and get united in a stable top 3 position. on the other hand he'll fuck the youth and could potentially leave the club in a mess once he goes. there's also the whole circus around him too, his post match interviews this season under chelsea were an embarrassment
people go on about mourinho's negative football, but at least he can beat the shit teams by more than 1 goal. van gaal is on another level of boring and I'm sick of it.
really wish we'd get pep though
>>64406168
I don't think any United fans want Mouyes desu. It's more just the media's (and Mou's) imagination.
>>64406304
>he can beat the shit teams by more than 1 goal.
Chelsea has score more than 1 goal 5 times so far, and they won 3 of those games. League only though.
>>64406304
At least he probably wouldn't loan out our best young player so he can sit on a bench in Germany when the club is desperate for someone who can make a difference in the final third
>>64406133
>>>//Talksport//
>>64406350
yeah loaning januzaj has to be one of the craziest decisions LVG has made. he trims the squad so he can use the youth some more, yet he puts wilson and januzaj (arguably the 2 best and most experienced youth players) out on loan. its ridiculous.
>>64406345
well that's this seasons chelsea, there seems to be a lot more going on behind the scenes compared to last season and the season before
>>64406350
Mou wouldn't have done that, he'd have sold him off already
I have predicted the PL ends like this
>>64406350
Mourinho treats most young players like total shit and just loans them out or sells them.
He doesn't give a fuck about developing for the future of the club, hence why it goes to shit after 3 years when his short termism comes back to bite him
>>64406442
United on Neo-Liverpool watch
>>64406442
Madman, do Chelsea win the Champions League so Spuds don't get their spot again?
>>64406304
Mourinho does play youth. Zouma is 21 years old, he played Santon, Varane and so on.
It is not always that he prefers older players. The Chelsea he built in 2004 was a pretty young team that lasted a long time.
The young United players are Martial and Shaw. I can't see why he wouldn't start them. Mata is screwed.
>>64406472
>Mata is screwed.
Literally my favourite player had him on my last 2 shirts :(
>>64405428

>>64406472
Mourinho gave 5 academy graduates full team starts in 5 years at Chelsea.
Given 23 starts to academy players in his entire 15+ career.
Most of them in irrelevant games or during injury crisis:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3317277/Jose-Mourinho-s-abysmal-record-promoting-youth-players-exposed-Sportsmail-reveals-handed-just-five-starts-Chelsea-academy-starlets.html
>>64406454
He developed a pretty strong Chelsea in 2004. The Real Madrid he helped to build was also a strong team that kept strong.
What happened to this Chelsea team was different from what happened on Real. The Real fallout was over him and Casillas having a fight on how to treat Barcelona players. Not on how they liked the way the club was going in terms of youth/tactics. Varane became a superstar under him and Morata had plenty of opportunities.
>>64406454
He's always been at poisonous clubs. Lasting 3 years at Madrid is impressive in itself. Inter are perpetually retarded and Chelsea is basically the Third Reich Mk 2. At United he'd have a stable hierarchy provided he doesn't piss them off by raping the tea lady for the sake of mind games

In 2004, Chelsea's youth academy was shit. Or do you think Wenger would make a star out of Jimmy Smith, John Swift, Anthony Grant and Steven Watt?
Chelsea fans have unrealistic expectations of youth. A good academy will give you a great, starting quality player once every 4 years or so. The youngest Barcelona starter that is a youth product that was promoted is Busquets, for example. He is 27 years old. Bayern only has Muller that was a youth product. And he is 26 years old.
For super elite teams, you can't expect much more than that. The Xavi, Iniesta generation was a huge outlier.
>>64406472
true about martial and shaw, but there are others like pereira, januzaj, lingard and wilson that can make the step up. I fear he'll just sell them off as soon as possible
LVG at least gives them a chance, even if he does give them chances in the most retarded of circumstances. and at times he gives chances to the wrong player, I'd rather see pereira get more chances than powell. part of me just thinks LVG throws on these random kids so he can enjoy all the praise he'd get for being a tactical genius if that young player ever manages to win the game
>>64406516
Sure, I won't argue against his record at early Chelsea.
But in recent times his work really hasn't been that impressive, and the media will still be right on his back if he comes straight into another English job. They haven't had that break to forget how much of a cunt he is.
Nothing he did in his 2nd run at Chelsea was particularly great, he took a team with the 2nd biggest wage bill + transfers, and finished 3rd, 1st, and relegation fight.
The title he did win was during a season where everybody else was pretty shit.
Mourinho may be good for United, I doubt long term, but i'd much rather they got Mourinho than Guardiola who could set them up for a long, long time and maybe become a legend at the club
>>64406596
Whilst that is true. It's a worry how badly he's fucked up with the likes of De Bruyne, Lukaku, Matic.
So like it's very possible he'd sell Martial in order to play Rooney every week.
Van Laal a shit
>>64406597
Do you really expect a team such as Manchester United to have 4 academy products of roughly the same year becoming starters at the same time? If you are very lucky, two of those four guys will be "decent starting material". If you are very lucky, one of them will be a superstar.
Having the luck of having 4 youth products of roughly the same era starting is something that happens very rarely.
Even in Brazil, where the teams are shit and the youth academies are good.
>>64406607
Without Mourinho, how well Chelsea was doing? They won the EPL once (1 point of difference) and the UCL once, where they had a lot of luck in beating better teams. Heck, a Brazilian team beat them in the CWC.
>>64406657
nah I don't expect them to become starters, just decent bench players at least. players who can start against the bottom half teams and still do well. if they're developed further and become a first team starter, that's a bonus.
>>64406648
Matic was not a Mourinho sale.
The problem with De Bruyne is the same problem with Mata. Mourinho decided to bet everything on Oscar. He thought Oscar would be a world class player and sacrificed those two. Btw, Oscar is the same age as De Bruyne, it is not like Mourinho was taking him away to play an old player. He sold De Bruyne to play someone that had the same age. And that was a mistake.
Lukaku was a huge mistake, IMO. Probably not due to age, as he is not worse than Remy.
>>64406732
>as he is not worse than Remy.
No, he is significantly better.
tbf I thought Oscar was going to be GOAT too
>>64406702
Then, you are more realistic than Chelsea fans.
They think Chelsea should start a bunch of youth products.
>>64406760
He was never that great in Brazil. The one that most people expected to be the great Brazilian AM was Ganso.
At a point in time, he was higher regarded than Neymar.
will mou bring welbz home?
>>64406803
literally forgot all about him
>>64406442
Pretty much the same as what it is now.
The bottom 3 wont be 27-27-27 to 34, there'll be a huge scrap for that TV money. Smaller teams currently in the top 10 will drop off and one of the big clubs will revive and get top six.
Leicester fan all my life, really seems surreal right now. As long as the lads keep playing well I'll be happy. Preparing for any emotion
>>64406764
No, we don't. We think that given how shit things are, some kid can't be worse than the players on the pitch. It wasn't even a bunch, it was mostly RLC (who Mourinho said was going to get some play time) and Bamford because it's a joke Falcao was signed, people don't even talk about Aké.
We, or at least I.
Mou could have had this team if he wasnt so wasteful
>that belguim cohension

kek, poor bastard
Didn't Oscar single-handedly win an U20s championship? Until last season when Neymar really engaged GOAT-mode Oscar looked like the most mature BR player
>>64406815
I said it already, Luiz-Matic/Hazard-Oscar-Mata would have been so much better than Matic-Fabregas/Hazard-Oscar-Willian.
>>64406818
Until Neymar engaged GOAT mode, we actually thought that we had the shittiest generation ever and that "at least our defense is solid" (at least until 7x1 happened). Oscar was seem as "that weak guy that should not be our starting AM", mostly because people were used to Kaka.
