he signed a loan, or they would have mentioned he had signed a contract for a length of time after. if he doesn't want to play for Moaninho, he will do what others have done to Poch and not turn up even when selected.

do you honestly think that GLC, Lamela, Gazzaniga, and Foyth are going to be happy their compatriot has been fired
I'm sorry but this is absolutely ridiculous.

The point is this squad can’t press anymore. Too old in defence, Kane can’t do it when he plays all the time. You press with young players, or massive, deep squads.
Really?

Lloris
Foyth, Dier, Sanchez, Sessegnon
Sissoko, NDombele
Moura, Alli, Son
Kane

That's not a very old team.

Do you think they're gonna care, they're not kids ffs Poch wasn't their daddy. They'll get over it and play well for the good of their career.
I imagine that Lo Celso would be horrified to play under Premier League, La Liga and Champions League winner Jose Mourinho, bet he's already calling his agent to look for a way out from under such a horrific turn in his professional career. :playful:

Pissing off the board is a pro. They’ve gotten away with their bullshit for far too long. Now Mourinho will call them out on it. I say good.

he might call them out, but doubt they will back him enough, took a lot of money to turn Chelsea into a machine and that was when he was pretty fresh

Can't stand the miserable fucker. Anti football circus wherever he goes.

I watch football primarily to be entertained not to watch turgid crap.

It's not. I've seen it several times
Probably won't happen, but it's not farfetched. Specially if the don't get playing time with Mourinho
Then they will be out the club and we'll have some new players then.

Unless managers have seriously irked players in the past I highly doubt a pro will behave this way.

Foyth, Lamela and Lo Celso seem to me like nothing but real pros too.

How do we know that these players themselves were tired of Poch?

Sounds like your stream is a year and a half behind then.
That's a bit of an overstatement. Plus why replace manger playing rubbish football with one who is the master of boring win at all costs football and he's a bit of a dick

It's either gonna be great and we'll be drowning in silverware for the next 4 seasons or it will be an absolute disaster and he'll upset everyone at the club with his narcissistic behaviour

It might be boring on the pitch but it certainly will not be off it.

I wish him well and hope I am wrong about how it will turn out

Lo Celso has just arrived, and I highly doubt any of the other 2 would be against him. Specially as they are one of the few that still seemed to care in the games.

Mourinho has a history of confronting his own players publicly

Nothing of this sort will happen as Mourinho is a big name, but someone like Eddie Howe could've made players leave imo. It's not ridiculous, regardless of how much a pro they are

so what's the excuse with the players that wanted a change with Poch, do you honestly think they are not eyeing up that signing bonus with a hefty wage.

any player should play for the club that's paying them, under Poch enough of them weren't. if they have ideas of moving in the summer what makes you think they will change their minds, and how do you not know these Argentinians won't want out or do what the others have done and down tools. Sometimes a player signs for a manager because of his history, Poch is well respected by his countrymen.
