That Mourinho fella...

[Dutch Toffee]

People would have said the same about Mourinho's players at Chelsea but he didn't go for any of them, I think he likes to freshen things up, getting the best out of Kaka would be a start, if he does that then Wesley Sneijder would struggle to cement a place in the side. And I doubt Sneijder would be keen on it, Inter are still a very good side and he's doing well there. He needs to be settled.

Van der Vaart will more than likely be available in the summer, it'll be interesting to see where he goes.

Maybe you're right. However, it's a fact that Sneijder never wanted to leave Madrid in the first place, but was effectively frozen out at Bernabeu. Also doubt that Sneijder is that much a lesser player compared to Kaka.

Kaka on his day is far, far better than Sneijder,but sadly hes been utter gash for at least a season.

Brazilians hey, they just stop trying at a certain age.

In Jo's case that age was 21.

Agree with the last line, not so much with the first.

He uses the very same masterful tricks as SAF ... get his teams to think it's world against them, whilst he cunningly uses his charm and ego to diverse all the attention/pressure away from his team to let them get on with it.

He did bring Carvalho and Ferreira to Chelsea. I'm not sure he has a policy of not returning to the well. Maybe he just thought at Inter he had the type of destroyers and creators he prefers in situ and left it at that?

He's super is Mourinho. A bit of a tit sometimes but then aren't we all sometimes.

Great manager though.

True, fair point, I forgot about Carvalho and Ferreira. I just don't think he'll go back for Sneijder considering the players he'd already have at Real Madrid if he was to join them.

If there's one player I can see him going for it's Maicon or even Michael Essien. Although he's got a pretty handy defensive midfielder in Lassana Diarra.

Yeah he's done alright like.

Give him no money, then see how he does

Maicon's just about nailed on going to Madrid.

Cheeky bid for Ramos, anyone?

I think the fact that he was frozen out would put him off a bit.

That's nothing against the Wesley, but Kaka is alongside the likes of Ronaldo and Messi when he's at his best.

He bought Diarra for Chelsea before didnt he? So he knows the lad that maybe he wont replace him.

Funny thing though....he said that he'll end up in England again at some point. Proper loves it over here.

Didnt know the Champs League final for next season is at Wembley like.

Defo.

The minute GBH picks up the phone and hears "Stevie...it Jose...Manager of Real...." He'd cut him off and say "Bags are already packed, lid. Where do I sign?"

He'll say... "oh so Jose, my agent had already spoke to you then? Yeah I'm desperate. My plane tickets already booked..."
