Re: Mou: "Chelsea won't finish top because we don't have a goalscorer. Well we have Eto'o, but he's 32 or 35, I don't really know"

Mouringo: "The problem at Chelsea is that we are missing a striker. I have one in [Samuel] Eto'o but he is 32, possibly 35, who knows?", Mourinho joked in an interview with the French television station Canal Plus, before adding. "I don't have Falcao but Falcao doesn't have a club. Who wants to play in front of 3,000 supporters? If I was one day to go to Monaco it would be the end"

what a classless idiot

Maybe I'd chuckle if a fan said it... But he's the manager FFS

You don't make jokes or shit on your own players no matter how bad they are doing.

He was having a joke and shiz, most Chelsea fans here will tell you am not the biggest Mou supporter (understatement) but stilli it's just banter.

To say this about your own player :facepalm:

I'd like to see anyone defend this as "mind games" or "he's only an asshole to switch the media attention on him rather than the team".

by Le Samourai Mon Feb 24, 2014 9:41 pm

The general take in the PL thread is that he has worked with Eto for quite a while, and that it's simply banter. A video would help.

by elm_baraja_shaman Mon Feb 24, 2014 9:49 pm

Eto'o Minala jnr :bow:

by LeBéninois Mon Feb 24, 2014 9:54 pm

About Eto'o, it's just a banter obviously...

But he's disrespectful to Monaco ( not wrong tho ) and also .................................

Spoiler:

by Valkyrja Mon Feb 24, 2014 9:56 pm

watch Eto'o score a hattrick in the next match

by Robespierre Mon Feb 24, 2014 9:58 pm

it's just a banter of course

There is a great rapport between them , born to Inter

by 1991 Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:08 pm

what he said about falcao is more headline grabbing imo.

by Art Morte Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:10 pm

Torres should be more upset about Mourinho's comments than Eto'o.

But should Ba be even more upset than Torres? hmm

by fatman123 Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:11 pm

This is just banter between the two of them, really if anyone should be upset by this it would be Torres

by Art Morte Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:25 pm

Oh, he didn't know he was being recorded when saying this...

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/feb/24/jose-mourinho-remarks-chelsea-champions-league-galatasaray

Then I can understand him saying this. Most would agree with him that they need a striker who can score goals in their system. But of course you don't expect the manager to say that in public, not in this manner anyway.

A bit of an a***hole thing to do, to record him secretly like that.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:35 pm

Classic Mourinho making Chelsea winning the league seem like a bigger achievement than it actually is so he gets even more praise.

Anyway if everyone would care to look at Chelsea's previous league winning teams you would notice their top scorer in the first championship was Lampard who had 13 and in their 2nd season it was Lampard again with 16.

So again he's talking out of his ass, to make himself look better.

Aka mindgames. I see nothing wrong with that

So, basically, it was intended to be behind Eto's back?

Well that changes things.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:45 pm

I wouldn't call it mind games as the only ones who take a blinds bit of notice are fans and media.... Wenger and Pelle will treat it with the discretion it deserves.

It's a ploy to make himself look better than he is in the event they win the league and if they don't he can just say we were underdogs anyway as i(mou) claimed months ago.

I have nothing wrong with it personally, its only as powerful as with most things as the reaction to it. If people ignore it then it won't get very far as it didn't in Spain.

But in England we hang on his every word so there's no limit to where it could go to.

I give him credit, he knows exactly what he's doing and is playing the fans and the media like the puppet master he is.
