After hundred of years living on this god forsaken place called Earth, Brehme was able to develope something called "gut feeling" and his guts is telling him Mourinho didn't choose anyone except extending the contract of Fellaini.

All ManUtd signings are Jose signings

Which is the main reason of Man Utd failures. Jose Mourinho never has an eye on good talents. He fails whenever he is given players he wants. Shevchenko in Chelsea. Quaresma in Inter. His best season in his career came when he was not given what he wanted but what he needed.

Which is the main reason of Man Utd failures. Jose Mourinho never has an eye on good talents. He fails whenever he is given players he wants. Shevchenko in Chelsea. Quaresma in Inter. His best season in his career came when he was not given what he wanted but what he needed.

ManUtd didn't fail, especially his signings. All his signings are good except Mkhitaryan. We were in shambles when Jose took over and he added very good players, we finished on 81 points and finished 2nd in league, our highest position and points since SAF retirement. We also won Europa league, league cup and made finals of FA cup. So there is a very good progress. There is nothing any team could do last season as City were unstoppable and broke every record.

Jose has done lot of mistakes, signing poor players isn't one. Only reason I'm happy with Jose staying is, he will sign good players more often than not and will leave very good squad to the next manager.

ManUtd don't have transfer committee or DoF though, manager is always the boss who decides which players should be signed, if possible they will be signed or else will sign next target. Only signing I remember who might be signed without manager's approval was Falcao (i'm just guessing this). We need to change though, we need to add some staff and DoF. Woodward is just a money man who negotiates with agents to get deals done, there is one more guy who helps him in that.

We signed Ribalta from Juventus last season and then he left this season to Zenit as he was appointed as DoF. We need to add someone as DoF, or someone who can decide on transfers. Won't happen till Jose is in charge.

 

[brehme1989]

Yes, Mourinho also demanded Alexis Sanchez back in January Like he demanded Dalot and Fred

Zoro has a pm about his question.

 

[monster09]

- - - Updated - - -

I think a team without a Brazilian isn’t a team. ‘I think their talent is fantastic and the creativity of the Brazilian player cannot be measured.

I worked with Brazilian players in every team I coached, and I enjoyed a lot.’ He then added: ‘Who knows we can have a Brazilian in the squad next year. ‘I don’t believe it will be Willian, because Chelsea won’t make it possible.’

Jose wanted Fred and it was reported at least 6 months before he joined ManUtd.

When Fred to City was very close in Jan.

Castles said on the latest episode of The Transfer Window Podcast : "In terms of recruiting a midfielder, yes Jose Mourinho would like to have another midfielder in January.

"As we mentioned earlier, he would like to get Fred as a guy who could work alongside Matic and allow Pogba to play further forward.

"Fred's not going to happen as Manchester City are going to get him.

"Manchester United tried to sign him, he was high on Jose Mourinho's list to bring in a new midfielder for the window.

"It's fairly clear that (Michael) Carrick is going to retire and probably take a place on the coaching staff but there are question marks over Fellaini and others within his squad at the moment.

From Jose's puppet.


Diogo Dalot a €20m Manchester United target as Jose Mourinho builds for the future
From Jose's mouth piece Duncan castles

Mourinho wants to use Dalot to rotate at right back, while developing him as a medium-term successor for the position.

According to Jose, Dalot is the best young RB of his age.

Jose signs good players but not necessarily what he needs. Sheva, Quaresma, etc are all good players but they were not what he needed. There is a progress with Man Utd but I'm very sure with the amount invested the expectation on Jose's achievement would be higher. There is the failure to achieve the target. Jose has been trying to play football that he is not really familiar with ever since he left Inter.

If one has followed Man Utd long enough, you would know surely Man Utd manager is probably the manager with the highest power. SAF, LvG and even Moyes have their freedom to point their index fingers on any players and they get them in their disposal.

Wouldn't say failure, City spent shit loads for years and still spent more than ManUtd. In terms of wages and money spent, we are second and our league position is second. Can see why few think he is a failure, there are good points to be made on both sides.

You are correct that he is not targeting what is needed. We don't have a right winger but he signed Sanchez and moved Martial and Rashford to right wing, and their performance just went downhill. We should have spent big on Mahrez. Lindelof was not needed at all considering we have too many CBs and few very talented CBs in U23s.

Re last paragraph, absolutely spot on. Few don't get it and think it's run like other clubs. Can't teach every ignorant though. ManUtd and Arsenal are old school where manager is the boss, now after Wenger, Arsenal changed their model. Hopefully we will change it too.

We signed fucking Fellaini because Moyes wanted him and also tried to sign Baines.

Zoro, share brehme's pm with us.

 

[brehme1989]

This Castles guy is a Man Utd puppet, not Jose's puppet.
It was also said that van Gaal's transfers were his choices. Most of them weren't.
They do ask the coach if that's a choice that satisfies him, it's not like they announce players and yell surpise. But there's not much a coach can do. Especially when half the transfers are not his choice.

Mourinho asked for 5 players since March and he's yet to receive any. Neither Fred and Dalot were part of that list and they both are options that cancel out two players that Mourinho was asking for.
He knows he cannot sign Perisic at the moment with the silly transfer policy in place, so if it's like you say it is, where is the other guy who came instead of Perisic? It's not like Mourinho doesn't go on tv and generally on record stating that he wants him at Man Utd.

He also asked for a specific center back, he's been mentioned in the media with no signs of offers or progress, but the planned bids, according to media again, are for other players that he didn't even mention to the board.

There is nothing that indicates that the manager decides who Man Utd signs. This isn't the Ferguson era anymore. And there is nothing to suggest that whatever the board says in public is the truth. It's not called Marketing United by accident...

 

[monster09]

Castle guy ManUtd puppet

Just confirmed everything. Guy is a Jose's and Mendes' puppet, everyone knows it. He just follows wherever Jose goes.

ManUtd puppet

No manager gets every target, it's near impossible. Where is the other guy instead of Perisic? It was last summer.

From feb

"We have Alexis, [Romelu] Lukaku, [Anthony] Martial, [Marcus] Rashford.

"Rashford can play on the left and the right, Alexis is exactly the same.

"All of them apart from Lukaku can play from behind as the second striker that's why I say that it's bad for you because you like to have things to write and speculate, especially in the summer, but I don't want attacking players so don't speak about attacking players that are coming here because nobody is coming here.

"We have [Juan] Mata, Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, Alexis, I don't want attacking players.

"Speculation in the summer you have to go to other areas, attacking players I am really happy.

"We have to improve not in the quality of the players. We have to improve in the dynamic in the team."

Jose signs good players but not necessarily what he needs. Sheva, Quaresma, etc are all good players but they were not what he needed.

So it's his fault, debate over.

Duncan Castles voted Jose as manager of the year in 2017

 

[brehme1989]

So you didn't know who Duncan Castles was when Alex Ferguson was around? Wasn't he "his puppet" as well?

Edit:

Jose Mourinho could leave Manchester United due to differences with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
According to Duncan Castles, the Portuguese’s chief lickspittle, the United manager has become ‘increasingly frustrated’ in his role.
It is believed that there are frictions between Mourinho and Woodward, whose ‘handling of the club’ has been questioned.
‘The Portuguese coach has complained of what he perceives as unnecessarily bureaucratic and inefficient organisation at Old Trafford and United ‘s Carrington training base,’ Castles writes.
‘A hesitancy over implementing recruitment decisions and an unwillingness to match the funding deployed by key domestic and Champions League rivals rank among other points of conflict.’

Wonder what the bureacratic situation between Mourinho and Woodward, allegedly by monster, the two people in charge of the transfers at Man Utd...

 

[monster09]

Duncan Castles was Anti ManUtd, trolling ManUtd fans before Jose signed for ManUtd. It's not hard to check.

He was always Mendes and Jose's puppet.

According to Duncan Castles, the Portuguese’s chief lickspittle,

ManUtd puppet

 

[brehme1989]

Duncan Castles was Anti ManUtd before Jose signed for ManUtd. It's not hard to check.

He was always Mendes and Jose's puppet.

Which is why he always got exclusive interviews from Man Utd players. They didn't like him and he was anti-Man Utd.

He's just another journalist. No one will say that he has bad relations with Mourinho, but it's not like he was the enemy of Man Utd who became ally and got all the inside info when Mourinho came. He knew lots of shit about the club before Mourinho joined and still does.

P.S: I'd really love to see his anti-Man Utd articles.

edit, since you lol'd at the previous one. I guess he's closeness to Man Utd is not real, even if there's no indication that it's because of Mourinho, according to this. Which is from yor link...

Duncan Castles & Jose Mourinho

Journalist Duncan Castles is well-known for his closeness to Man United and Jose Mourinho.

edit2: So before we go on with this stupidity, I'll be waiting for:

1) Duncan Castles' anti-Man Utd articles from the Ferguson era and the period between Ferguson and Mourinho.
2) Waiting for why "Mourinho's puppet" talks about a bureaucratic transfer policy, when it is supposedly Mourinho going to Woodrward to conclude deals...
3) Waiting to see Mourinho publically speak about the players they had signed for him, BEFORE they were even mentioned as transfer targets.

 

[monster09]

He gets info now because of Jose and Mendes.

Before Jose signed, he was never first to any story like he mentioned Dalot ahead of any other journalist. He was just cope merchant for ManUtd. It was always Ducker, Ogden, Simon Stone, Jamie Jackson who broke the news and from last 2 seasons Di Marzio. Before Jose signed for ManUtd, these 3-4 journalists always reported the same news, word by word which was obvious briefing by the club.

There are all the links, proofs that he is Jose's mouth piece and he even lied in his article changing entire content to support Jose.

It's not even a news, it's just obvious to everyone.

 

[brehme1989]

Di Marzio is "Raiola's puppet". that's how he knew.

Also, please check the previous post and answer those 3 very specific questions/requests.

 

[monster09]

C-c-called a U-turn
‘Manchester United have opened discussions with Benfica over the January transfer of Sweden international Victor Lindelof. According to sources familiar with the negotiations, Lindelof is first on a list of central defenders drawn up by Jose Mourinho to strengthen a back four that has proved problematic during the new Old Trafford manager’s initial months at the club’ – Duncan Castles, Daily Record, December 2, 2016.

‘Manchester United have agreed an initial fee of €35million for the transfer of Sweden international Victor Lindelof from Benfica. As reported by Record Sport Online in December, the Old Trafford manager asked United to bring Lindelof to Old Trafford in the winter window. Benfica, however, demanded an unrealistic fee of €60m before extending the Swede’s contract to 2021 on substantially improved terms. Lindelof’s ability to build play from the back is understood to be an important factor in Mourinho’s pursuit of the player’ – Duncan Castles, Daily Record, June 11, 2017.

‘A year ago, United settled on Victor Lindelof because the Benfica-based Swede was cheaper than more polished options’ – Duncan Castles, Sunday Times, July 29.

You have to admire the dedication. When all looked well – Mourinho’s man. When it went badly – United settled (and screwed over Mourinho in the process). Well done Duncan.

https://www.football365.com/news/mediawatch-mourinho-didnt-really-want-lindelof-after-all

I'm not going to check his twitter posts from 2012-13, go and check how his posts was before Jose signed for Manutd.

It's obvious why Duncan Castles is reporting that story, shifting entire blame on the club to show how poor Jose is working against everything.

There is a reason why F365 interviewed him and asked him the same questions. Only reason he will post ManUtd articles is because of Jose.

 

[brehme1989]

I still don't see Mourinho saying he wanted him.

I've seen it with Zlatan, seen it with Pogba, seen it with Perisic. Not gonna say that he didn't want any of the players he got, but more than half of them weren't his priorities. And they're still better than the junk he found at the club.

Just because Duncan Castles knows who Man Utd is planning to sign, doesn't make it a Mourinho transfer. Man Utd will never sign a player that the manager does not approve, but when the board rejects the top x players and he's the x+1, he's gonna accept because he's either getting x+2 or x+3 or no one. It's just that simple.

Where is the anti-Perisic? And no, there's no such thing as Twitter posts. You said Duncan Castles. Duncan Castles isn't only active on twitter, he's a journalist with various columns throughout the years. Show us the anti-Man Utd agenda he had, please.

And why is Mourinho, through his "mouthpiece", complaining that a two person transfer team, which includes him, has a bureaucratic and inefficient organisation?
