The College Dropout Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 In a decade: Santon - barely Varane Mikel Poor. Even Varane isn't really that impressive really, half of europe wanted him. Most clubs knew how good he was going to be, not like Mourinho made him or anything. But yeah Mourinho is just not that guy and i doubt he really cares. I would agree. But you could say that for any top talent. People talk about SAF and the class of whatever, and Cronaldo So I will give Mourinho credit for that where it's due. But certainly it seems to take exceptional talent for Mourinho to consider a youngster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 And he always has a multi-million-pound experienced alternative that he's just signed. Why should he bother with young players, as Semtex says his boss doesn't give a s*** as long as he's winning. Well he should bother because some of those younger players will turn out to be better than what he's got. De Bruyne is better than all their attacking midfielders/wingers apart from Hazard. Lukaku is probably as good or better than Falcao and Remy De Bruyne isn't a winger though but I somewhat agree with the point you are trying to make. Mourinho doesn't like to rotate very much which also contributes Is de Bruyne better than Fabregas? A more adventurous manager would go with De Bruyne but Mourinho knew what he would get with Cesc and that's a top PL player. De Bruyne's better than Oscar though but can he do the graft? Is Lukaku better than Costa? Nope. But a more adventurous manager would've tried rotating them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Callejón had nearly 100 La Liga apps when Madrid bought him, so hardly an inexperienced youngster, but Mou gave him a lot of playing time despite the kind of people he had available to play in Real Madrid's front three. It was obvious that he appreciated his tenacity and aggresiveness so I think he just likes a particular kind of player and in general doesn't think a youngster will have these qualities.

Village Idiot Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So Porto's signings to replace Jackson Martínez are Bueno and Osvaldo? That's not gonna end well for them. Seems a bit of a poor window for them. Casillas is another pointless signing; Imbula is a good one but they paid quite a bit for him. The fact so many of those signings came from Spain (Osvaldo was great for Espanyol and still has a very good rep over here), makes me think Lopetegui has been given a big say on transfers.

hithere Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I've never seen a man to hate young players as much as Mourinho Read an interview he gave about the young players Chelsea have sold, said they didn't want to fight for their place.

Village Idiot Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Looks like we're eyeing Nolito to replace Pedro if/when we sell him to ManU. I think it's stupid to sign so many players that won't be available until January, but we're Barça. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Didn't he already play for you? Yeah, he spent a few years at Barça B. He's had two amazing seasons at Celta, easily the best Spanish player below the top 6 in La Liga. But he's a late bloomer and at 29 years of age it seems a bit too short termist. Particularly since he won't be able to play him until January. But Luís Enrique managed him at both Barça B and Celta and fancies him a lot. I'd rather give Munir and Sandro the chance to shine.

Village Idiot Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Guess he'll be happy enough on the bench too, he from Barcelona? No, Andalusian. He actually joined Barça B when he was 22. He was one of those "not really that young" players we sign to give Barça B a stronger backbone, but he ended up being quite good and we even offered him a senior contract, but Benfica gave him better terms and he went there instead.

toon25 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Diamanti to Watford. Their 12th summer signing. They'll be in trouble imo, far too many new faces for that team to gel. Been impressed with Bournemouth's recruitment - kept a spine and added a few to pad put the squad with experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
