Transfer Rumours

[Big Sam]

I definitely said he'd lost his usual authority over the dressing room. Don't remember ever saying he ruins players though.

 

[Jimbo]

Well that's not really the argument...

The argument was whether Mourinho needs a lot of money to succeed

Winning everything there was to win with Porto showed that this is most emphatically not the case

Including beating the well-funded likes of Man United, Lyon, Milan, Chelsea, Juve and Real Madrid to the Champions League

No one is disputing that you need to be in the competition to win it. People are just disputing about how he actually won it.

I wonder if he got himself all confused regarding what has been said about poor old Torres..

And my point is that anyone who thinks he won it by spending more than Man United, Lyon, Milan, Chelsea, Juve and Real Madrid has a rather tenuous grip on reality

Apart from United and Lyon, I don't remember them beating those other teams.

They 'Steven Bradburied' their way to the final

All of those teams made the knockouts GB. So they had just as much chance as anyone

Or if Twizz is correct, more of a chance than Porto

 

[saint.nick]

What they're saying is they had more chance, but fell over, hence the Bradbury notion. I think people are also recognising that Porto didn't outspend clubs like Utd

 

[Haffa]

:lol: Remeber that time (last season) that Tottenham manager spent 100m and still failed.

Poor Jose would be so upset Twizzle, Sm and Nick think he's not achieved. :lol: cassic, derp-a-thon.

In nick's defence, I don't think he actually questioned The Great One's achievements

It's only people like Twizz, Sam and the attention whore who let their hatred cloud their already questionable judgement

 

[saint.nick]

:lol: I never questioned Mourinho.

 

[Mong]

Lol

Anyone only has to mention Jose's name and the overwhelming urge to defend at all costs takes over the fan girls thoughts and actions.

It's pretty good bait and is being played well in this thread by many

hatred ? I dont hate the guy, I just asked a simple question

bit touchy aren't we ?

you know what happens when you assume ?

if all he has achieved is a CL with Porto allegedly on a modest budget, how does that make him special ?

 

[Haffa]

:lol: We will have to wait for him to join a team with a modest budget then..

 

[Jimbo]

if all he has achieved is a CL with Porto allegedly on a modest budget, how does that make him special ?

He also won two Leagues, a Portuguese Cup, Portuguese Super Cup and UEFA Cup on the same modest budget

A better than average haul over two seasons

 

[saint.nick]

Avb wasn't too bad at Porto either...just saying....

 

[Jimbo]

AVB was always a poor man's Mourinho, and always will be

 

[Twizzle]

dont mention those initials, gives me nightmares

 

[Jimbo]

dont mention those initials, gives me nightmares

They probably still send a chill up Mr Abramovich's spine too

All is right with the world now though
