DJ_Villain Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 i know its euros but Wayne Bridge, Kolo Toure, Javi Garcia and Jack Rodwell cost nearly 70 million euros O'Neillesque A lot of that was down to just wanting to destabilise other teams in the division like us, Blackburn, Chelsea etc...Throwing money and their weight around and wanting to be important...I still pray for the day their owners get bored and they do a Portsmouth and disappear into nothingness...That wretched club and their shitty fans deserve nothing less...

Popular Post Arj Guy Posted October 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2015 I think Man City fans get a lot of unfair stick. Yes a few have jumped on the bandwagon but lets not forget they used to get attendances of over 40k consistently before the arab money. And that's whilst being in the shadow of the biggest and most successful club in England. So enough of this where were you when you were shit crap. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Man.City crowds were very good in the late 90s aswell when they really were s*** and went down to league 1, it was around the 28k mark which was pretty much capacity for Maine Road.Yeah when they moved to Eastlands they didn't sell out a huge amount but average attendance was still around 40k so still higher than us.

PaulC Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 De Bruyne is tearing it up, 5 assists and 6 goals in last 9 appearancesYes its not just his goals but his assists as well which makes him the premier Belgium player now imo. More versatile than Hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 29, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2015 I know Chelsea made a fortune on him but he's beginning to look like Mourinho's biggest mistake. Mata I could just about get, but de Bruyne is de Poodle's privates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 True but hindsight is 20/20 and De Bruyne's great start to his second stint in England has coincided with Eden Hazard's form falling off of a cliff. I'm sure Mourinho expected much more from Hazard this season and the guy who was supposed to be the closest thing Chelsea have to a Galactico simply hasn't produced.

I'm sure Mourinho expected much more from Hazard this season and the guy who was supposed to be the closest thing Chelsea have to a Galactico simply hasn't produced.It's not one or the other though. He could have had both Hazard and De bruyne playing in the same team but instead he just casts aside any winger who doesn't fit exactly into the mourinho prototype. De bruyne isn't the only good player Mourinho has let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De bruyne isn't the only good player Mourinho has let go.He's not the only good one, but in each case like Mata and Schürrle, I could see it benefitting Chelsea overall. I know Chelsea were trying to balance FFP in and around that time so maybe that had something to do with it. That and the fact they were making >£12m on a player they signed 2 years previous and rarely used. But in hindsight, given the relative buttons of £12m to Abramovich I think Mourinho might take that one back if he had a magic wand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'm sure he would now but like I said, hindsight is 20/20 and Mourinho did what he felt was right at the time. If he's fiercely protective of his system then it's because the system works, you only have to look at his overall record to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yep two massive mistakes by Mourinho, and I thought so at the time about De Bruyne, everybody could see he was class for Belgium until he returned to Chelsea and Mourninho ruined him and then he showed his class by being player of the year in the Bundesliga last season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got rid of Lukaku for roughly the same amount it cost him to bring in Diego Costa. You can't have both in a 1 striker system and you aren't winning the league if Lukaku is your main man IMO.
