I think Ukaku should put on a few weight maybe it will help him hold up play. I already think his abnormally fastmfor someone that size so if he shaved off small speed to gain strength just as long as it result in better hold up play. That na fair trade to Me. |

I'm beginning to see more and more Mourinho quotes where he is hinting that he doesn't have as much free hand to chop and change as he wishes because money is limited. I just want to hope he is taking this position so when he goes for players they don't tax us like the way boli women do to men that park g wagon to make purchase. This has been an annoying feature of our last few transfer negotiations. Wenger once said there is now 2 transfer markets, one for big clubs and the other for others, but United have been operating in an even more difficult third market largely because of our 'you know say money no be problem' body positioning. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Nihilist: Good article here. But football change. There are a times a team with small players dominate, some other time it just shift. If it were possible to bring back Mourinho's Chelsea team of 2005/2006, they would still dominate today and give no single room for opposition to threaten. There are big players with quality. Lukaku doesn’t have Drogba's match winning quality. Lukaku is not even as strong and balance as Drogba. Michael Essien at his peak would qualify for an Olympic sprinter, unlike Matic who plays in the speed of a snail. Essien was very agile too and could go into a quick sliding tackle. He could also play a center defence like it was its natural position. Remember when Ghana beat Nigeria with their centre defender sent off, and Essien had to fill in and became MOTM. Lampard had goal scoring sense from outside the box,unlike Mata, Lingard and Mkhitaryan. He won some matches with late goals from long range shots. Ballack was a tough guy. Terry was one of the best the world. Same with Cole. The weakly in the that team were Joe Cole who if around today may be like Lingard. I think sometimes, a coach just assembles a winning team able to play his style. That was what happened when Senegal were solid in 2002, very tall, strong and quick players. In 1992-1993, Ivory Coast had these small players with quick movement, but our Super Eagles with giant players find a way to dominate them by surrendering the midfield to the Ivorians while using speed, long passes to finish them. 5 Likes 1 Share |

elampiro: Even the much fabled fergie team where very good. The backline of Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra and G.Neville is far far better any one in the league today. Then there is a midfield of Carrick, J.S Park ,Giggs and Scholes with Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez in Attack. If fergie had average players he will still struggle as he did sometimes that fans where even calling for his sack. |

CapitalCee: I think there is this panic right now about the great success of the City team. I actually think everything has its time and season. We should not out of panic go to buy players £150m that fans will start insulting if they enter ghost mood in matches. Mourinho should stick to his plans and buy players that can play his football. But the right wing should be given priority. Strong players are still good if they can be found, look at Bailly. If he were around, I am sure we would be more stable playing from the back. Would Bailly fall like the way Rojo fell against Burnley? Another thing is United has a separate transfer window. Which makes it hard for Woodward to buy players identified by the manager. If Mourinho had said, get me "Gabriel Jesus", the transfer price of Gabriel Jesus automatically becomes £100m 1 Like 1 Share |

"If, next summer, we are going to sign a midfield player, it's to replace Michael Carrick and Michael is a phenomenal player that, this season, he couldn't give us anything at all. "He's in the end of his career so if, next summer, we buy a midfield player, it's not to improve our squad - it's to replace Michael Carrick. So, to improve our squad in the midfield, we would need to buy two." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"I have the backing of the club and the first backing of the club I had was a three-year contract where everybody knows the job was not easy. "And we all know that we invest a lot, so when you invest as much as we did, it wouldn't be very fair for me to say the club didn't support, the club didn't want to help. It would be very unfair, which is not me." - JOSE MOURINHO |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:08am On Dec 30, 2017 |
"The club invested a lot of money. The problem is not the money we invest, the problem is the money the others invest and it is the problem that others with better squads, with better stability, with more options, they keep investing and that's the only problem because, for example, we bought a striker in the summer - a very good striker [Romelu Lukaku] - but that good striker was to replace Zlatan [Ibrahimovic]. "It was not to be him and Zlatan in the best of their form from day one. We signed [Victor] Lindelof. We didn't have Marcos Rojo [at the start of the season]. We had problems, so when we are signing players in the last two years, it's to replace people." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"You think the club can put here now £600million and let's buy six players of £100million? The club cannot do that. I cannot expect the club to do that, so it's not critical and you can see how the market is, especially with the top teams. "But, you know, without taking any credit away from Manchester City and Pep [Guardiola] and his staff and the players, they obviously have lots of credit in what they are doing. "But Pep arrives, he has the goalkeeper of England [Joe Hart], he doesn't like him so he buys the goalkeeper of Barcelona [Claudio Bravo], he doesn't like him so he buys another one [Ederson]. Now he likes." - JOSE MOURINHO |

"He has [Pablo] Zabaleta and [Aleksandar] Kolarov - two very good players but more than 30 years old. He wants to replace, he doesn't replace with two, he replaces with three. "One from Tottenham [Kyle Walker], one from Monaco [Benjamin Mendy] and one from Real Madrid [Danilo] as an example. Can we buy six or seven players at the same time? "Can we invest £600-700million? No. So, it's difficult. I think the last years, the market is going in such a direction or you belong to one of these clubs where there is no limit and you just buy what you want and there is no limit, there is no financial fair play, there is nothing, you do what you want - or it's hard." - JOSE MOURINHO |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:12am On Dec 30, 2017 |
"Is it possible [to compete]? Yes, it's possible and sometimes if you don't have that financial - I don't say potential because potentially we have that, as a club, but not that profile of club where there are no limits and the only thing that matters is to get the best. Even with that, there is only one way which is patience and calm and time. "I think, next season, we are going to get two or three more players. We are going to lose also two or three. If you can try to anticipate, you can more or less see that it's normal that this is going to happen. It's not going to happen - a dramatic change and a dramatic improvement - but in time, step by step, with some balance, we have to do it. - JOSE MOURINHO |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:13am On Dec 30, 2017 |
"But I think this was the feeling that, for example, Jurgen [Klopp] had when he arrived at Liverpool where he trusted a lot of his quality as a good coach that he is. He trusted his work a lot, he told a few words and I think now he realizes that it's not enough to be champions, to win the Champions League, to win trophies. "He needs more, so now you can see Liverpool with Naby Keita that they have already done for the next summer, with Virgil van Dijk now, a player who can also play in the Champions League, now they realize they have to go to the same levels of the crazy market because if they offer £40 million, Southampton won't sell the player. It's as simple as that, so that's the reality. - JOSE MOURINHO |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:22am On Dec 30, 2017 |
"You have to believe in the work and in the time and don't stop to invest. But some clubs invest with limits and some clubs they invest with a little bit more balance than others that go absolutely strong in the market. "What Paris Saint-Germain did this season with Neymar and [Kylian] Mbappe - they get two of probably the four best attacking players in the world. They get two at the same time and then players like [Angel] Di Maria, [Julian] Draxler, [Javier] Pastore, Lucas [Moura], they are second choices." - JOSE MOURINHO |

EPL: Guardiola would have won title with Man United – Carragher blasts Mourinho dailypost.ng Dec 30, 2017 8:08 AM  Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has said Pep Guardiola would win the Premier League if he had the Manchester United squad at his disposal. The Manchester City manager is 15 points ahead of United on top of the table. Writing in his column for The Telegraph, Carragher said: “In the past he might have earned sympathy. Not now. “Not at one of the world’s richest clubs when you have outspent most of Europe and the only way to keep up with your greatest rival is to match him on the training pitch and with shrewder management.” Carragher went on to discuss the major differences in Mourinho and Guardiola’s approach, with the former looking to sign ready-made superstars and the latter willing to turn young players into superstars. 1 Like |

"So money makes a difference and I remember my times from my first Chelsea period where everybody was saying that the money was making a difference, so I don't think it changes. I think money makes a difference but I also ask never to misinterpret my words against my club or say that my club doesn't support, my club doesn't want to spend because my club spends. "My club, two years ago, paid a lot of money for Paul [Pogba]. Last year, they paid a lot of money for Lukaku and I'm sure, next year, they are also going to pay a lot of money for one player. But we are doing these things with some balance because it's the profile of the club. We do it with some balance." - JOSE MOURINHO |

raumdeuter: You are now sounding like a hater. How will people take your analysis serious again? You see everything as Guardiola vs Mourinho Mourinho has his brand of football, he can buy players to fit in. Bailly, Valencia are typical Mourinho type of players. We might add Jones and Matic. We have to observe Luke Shaw too. 1 Like |
