Mourinho press conference 5/8/16

Feels like a nonsense complaint from one or two who already had their backs up. He wasn't fit so was allowed to be with his missus. Big deal.

Just saying the talk was some thought he was taking the piss. Do remember Fergie allowing breaks whilst injured, the break helps the player return quicker.

I like Schweini, gutted the way it's going to end for him him here (because he's been a brilliant player) but he won't be a loss. We're getting a big upgrade.

Him becoming Utd manager doesn't override the dislike I have for the man.

You're hiding it well tbf

£#%&!ing love Jose already

He answered some difficult questions very well. Particular the one about implementing his style of football on a squad that has that clown Van Gaal's dull possession football drummed in to them day and night for the last two years.

Assuming Pogba joins Utd, Jose plays one of 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and that Rooney will be his primary #10 with Mata and MikiT as alternatives that leave five central midfielders for two spots. If he is insisting on working with 20 outfield players then someone needs to go. One of Carrick, Herrera, Schneiderlin or Schweinsteiger. Based on the performances and injury records from the past two years it has to be Schweinsteiger.

I know it's the rumour, but you have to keep in mind some players talk shit, especially if they don't feel they're treated properly or don't like the current regime. There could be more details in terms of his attitude, but I can't see LvG putting up with him direspecting his teammates tbh. He even criticised Basti's level of performance iirc.

Keep them. Sell Fellaini.

Mourinho in my opinion is rigth to get rid of the pig farmer.. He turned up last summer with a pot belly and continued to be well over weight last season, we were like one last big pay day for him..

Not like for like, as not one midfielder at the club is as good at Carrick, but as close as we've got for comfort on the ball and ability to move it.

Anyhoo, £#%&! it. Was never a fan of signing Basti and have been largely unimpressed with his contribution so for..

Big Dunk buying into Mourinho

Good to see

He's not hiding the fact he's a rampant ABU, very well.

Only question is if he's a Bert or a Dipper.

Sparky's £#%&!ing destroyed Buck there tbf

It's pretty simple. When someone who you've only seen as an outsider act a complete @#%&! it's understandable that you may not like them when they become 'one of you'.

He didn't act a @#%&!. Just misunderstood.

Look this is a tired argument. He's our manager now so I look forward to the football. The performances, results, improvements. Hopefully some youth. I have respect for his achievements. The conduct not so much. Some think he's charismatic. I disagree. Sir Alex was charismatic. Mourinho is football's equivalent of the kid who shouts 'your mum' when he is losing a battle.

Right okay then. I'll let you in on a little secret - most people involved in football are @#%&!s.

Maybe next manager we can get someone more suitable to your fragile sensibilities - maybe James Corden?

Don't want TheFatGoth anywhere near the job.

I think Bucks right hypocrisy has never had a place in football.

You didn't even add a smiley

So who's the 20 outfield players he is working with then??

Darmian/Valencia
Smalling/Jones
Blind/Bailly
Shaw/Rojo

Carrick/Pogba
Schneiderlin/Herrera

Mikhitaryan/Januzaj
Rooney/Mata
Martial/Lingard

Ibrahimovic/Rashford


That's Young and Fellani also joining Basti out of the door then
