turnbull Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Where is the £30million Willian? I think it's a case of signing a player to spite another manager. Bit of an expensive way to do it mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Just watching the Madrid derby, it still shocks me that Courtois is a Chelsea player. He will literally go back to them (I assume next season) as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Torres looked to have got that drive and hungerness back. Showed some lovely runs. However, disgraceful behaviour scratching vertonghan. Unlucky red though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 absolutely disgraceful it was. Of was Suarez be a media campaign to ban him for 10 more games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I'm generally a fan of Mourinho, but that was a pretty stupid comment considering Torres' actions during the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah - I'm generally a fan of Mourinho, but that was a pretty stupid comment considering Torres' actions during the game.But the incident that Mourinho is referring to WAS a disgrace on Vertonghen's part. That's 2 weeks in a row he has cheated and 2 weeks in a row he has gotten away with it. Hopefully the third time's a charm and he does a hamstring or something. Cuz Spurs' weakness, if they have one, is in their defensive depth particularly at centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 yeah but point being Torres shouldnt have even been on the pitch at that point for his scratch just like girl some think he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - it was poor from Vertonghen, but it followed an equally (if not more) disgraceful incident from Torres. Given that the whole episode reflected fairly poorly on both individuals, I thought Mourinho was being a little too partisan with his comments.

Cuz Spurs' weakness, if they have one, is in their defensive depth particularly at centre back. I agree the sending off was a poor decision and jose was correct in his opinion of that. But I just felt his criticism of vertonghon was pretty strong given the earlier incident. He talked about a appeal (before acknowledging he couldn't for a second yellow) when torres himself should have saw red for his saurez moment. Vertonghon imo gets a little bit of credit for not hitting the deck, many, many players would have done imo. Maybe (rightly or wrongly) the second incident was vertonghon thinking 'have that pal' Edited September 30, 2013 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'm not disagreeing with any of that. I'm just saying they were 2 separate incidents that both deserve condemnation. The fact a manager didn't come out and publically chastise his own player doesn't surprise me. Vertonghen's Villa shorts should be arriving in the post any day now.

mikeyp102 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Mourinho losing the plot? Stormed out of the champs league press conference as apparently didn't want to answer questions on mata/de bruyne etc.. Still would like to know what has happened with de bruyne, got a lot of praise during the summer, got a good assist opening day and now doesn't get into the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
