Now name me more of his good buys. :whistling: Cech and Robben are signed by Ranieri.
I thought Shevchenko & Ballack were Abramovich's buys? That said his signings for Inter have been terrible.
Quaresma was never going to be worth a large sum. He's 10m & that's being very generous.
Mancini is very old. A smarter move would've been saving the money for Quaresma & Mancini, 31m, & gone for Silva.
In fact I've seen a lot at Inter to suggest Mourinho is a very rigid, inflexible coach. He's doesn't adapt.
He tries to change his team to suit him, rathe than changing himself to suit his team. Formation.
Clearly 4 - 3 - 3 wasn't working but it took far longer than it should have for Mourinho to grudgingly accept this.
4 - 4 - 2 is simple & effective. It worked for Inter. Ibra works best with a partner. Mancini is old.
Quaresma is over rated. 4 - 3 - 3 needs young quick wingers to flank the striker.
What Inter really needed was a creative midfielder. Well make that several creative midfielders.
How the heck do you build a team with only defensive midfielders? Viera, Cambiasso & even Muntari is more combative.
An attacking player, of sorts, but a long cry from creative. Mourinho could've taken Elano from City.
Hughes & the Arabs seem painfully oblivious to the fact Elano should be starting alongside Ireland.
Robinho was willing to join City surely Mou could've grabbed him? Petrov at City? Gorcuff a Milan outcast?
Stankovich is not getting younger. Muntari isn't creative enough. Well this was a long rant.
