King in his final years could barely walk, let alone play regularly

Parker ahead of Dembele/Capoue/Paulinho is debatable

Imo only Modric and VdV are better than their Sherwood counterparts.

Parker literally got our POTY that year and had a run of about 6 MOTM awards in a row. He pisses all over Capoue and Paulinho, who were shambolic for us.

"Jose called me into his office in December, and it was probably the second big life-changing moment for me. He had some papers in front of him, and he said, 'One assist. Zero goals. Ten recoveries'," De Bruyne said.

"It took me a minute to understand what he was doing. Then he started reading the stats of the other attacking forwards - Willian, Oscar, Mata, Schürrle. And it's like - five goals, 10 assists, whatever.

"Jose was just kind of waiting for me to say something, and finally I said, 'But… some of these guys have played 15, 20 games. I've only played three. So it's going to be different, no?'

"It was so strange. I was completely honest. I said, 'I feel like the club doesn't really want me here. I want to play football. I'd rather you sell me.'"

The following month, De Bruyne joined Wolfsburg for £18m.

I never heard that before. Yeah, that doesn’t go down well.

I want to see the transcript of his convo with Mo Salah.

”See Mo, you just aren’t putting up those Messi type numbers. You are short, technical, and fast, but Messi already has 30 goals this year.”

”Well Messi starts every game coach.”

”You are just full of excuses aren’t you, Mo. I just don’t think this is going to work out.”

”Me neither, Jose. I would love to go to Roma.”

Goes on to be Mo Salah.

I am not saying that only Jose has missed out on players, but he sure does like a scapegoat.
 
A peak level Parker/Sandro/Wanyama is by far the most important missing piece right now.

I still believe in Son/Kane/Steve/Lucas/Dele/Gio. We have goals in the team, with the right structure. It's the defending that is still shambolic.
 
I hate Mourinho but he’s shown time and again previously what he is. I’ve long accepted this.

Levy on the other hand deserves a massive slap on his dome piece. His only excuse is that he was on crack that fateful Tuesday.

Cut his losses and do what?

Sack him? Then who do we hire? Who’s going to turn this shit show round?

I’d fucking love to have Nagelsman as our manager. But, before that, I’d rather have their scouting network and recruitment strategy and a bunch of highly talented, fucking quick players under the age of 24.

There is not a human being currently on planet earth that can turn Aurier into a RB that can actually defend. And, for the record, I quite like Serge. But he’s shit at defending.

Why not do a Zidane? Flo learned his lesson when a rebuild was needed. Perhaps DL may have learned his lesson. He's always saying 'lessons have been learned' but we know they haven't. Maybe DL needed to see this shitshow for what it was and perhaps there is a break clause. What we do know is that last time DL signed a manager midseason there was a break clause. Perhaps a manager of Jose's status, though diminished, wouldn't accept it but maybe that's where the 15M came from.

Just spitballing.
