TwoDogs1Cup posted:Lukaku has proved at two different PL clubs that he can score at this level. He's 20 years old, has scored 1 in 2 for two different clubs not as good as Chelsea, and is pretty much the exact model of the strong lone striker you'd think they'd want to play in front of their hundreds of attacking midfielders. It's totally bizarre.

Wasn't he born in Belgium? There's a lot of things wrong with Belgium, but I'm pretty sure they've got legit birth certificates.

At this point I think getting 11 players to actually turn up and pretend to play football should be considered an achievement for Newcastle. Forfeiting the rest of the games this season 3-0 would probably result in a better goal difference than you'll get playing them.

Moyes was never the right choice, but I feel a bit sorry for him because the players and senior staff at United do seem to have tried their hardest to completely gently caress him over. Also this might be better for the finances thread, but surely United are going to get in trouble with the NYSE over this? Massive leaks of significant information before any official announcements from the business is very naught for a listed company.

Taff posted:They can announce before the market opens. Its briefing journalists on stuff thats a no no according to @Andersred on twitter who does all the excellent financial stuff Yeah that's what I mean. The number of journalists who knew exactly what was going on from sources inside the club before any official announcement seems like it should upset the regulators.

In shocking news Guardiola has ruled himself out of the running so no-one needs to kill themselves.

As much as I dislike United, pretending that it isn't still one of the biggest jobs in world football is silly. Guardiola and Ancelotti are probably the only two really delusional targets.

Redundant posted:It's overpaying, both short and long term, for a position that isn't exactly vital. If the talk of a £200 million budget is true I guess it doesn't matter too much but united have far more pressing concerns than a left back. A lot of the Jonathan Wilson/Zonal Marking types are convinced that fullback is the most important position on the pitch in modern football. Though I think that's predicated on the assumption that the rest of the team isn't poo poo.

Gorn Myson posted:If Diego Torres' book on Mourinho's tenure at Real Madrid is even partly true, then Mourinho capitulating the title by fielding a weakened team would very much be in his character. He's like a child pretending he only didn't win the trophy because he didn't even bother trying. Chelsea have enough cup tied and suspended players to put a strong enough team out regardless though.

An article on possession This might belong in the bad posts thread as it veers into DZ SiBoT territory, but I thought the bit at the end about Mourinho's philosophy was interesting enough: quote:According to the Spanish journalist Diego Torres in a recent book, Jose Mourinho’s attitude to possession at Real Madrid was summed up thus.
