is it he got scared and quit?
Or he asked to leave because the manager gave no indication that he was willing to nurture him?
Bit of both by the looks of it.... Still a bit selective to state that Jose sold him in the manner that is commonly claimed.
Salah hasn’t spoken on Mourinho, Jose has though and he told on himself because he said Roma & Fiorentina nutured Salah.
Jose didn't sell Salah.. That's a simple fact.... He sent him on loan because he had players in that position that were delivering for him big time.... People act like Salah was exiled with the kids and was then fucked off out the club. That's bollocks..... He was even sold AFTER Jose left.
Look, before he came here and I cared enough to dig deeper; I too had your outlook over these 2 exits, but the truth is it's over-hyped, skewed folk-lore perpetrated by people that already dislike Jose...
I'm not saying he isn't capable of finding himself at odds with players, but there's two sides to these things and players like Ramos & Pogba are hardly angels. As for Martial, it's taken 3 Utd managers for him to finally settle down and make himself somewhat of a regular.
On the flip-side, ego-monsters like Zlatan love him so go figure.
this is my big fear, the way ENIC operate we have to have a coaching staff that us capable of nurturing players. Otherwise it’s gonna be a shelled out ageing squad with possibly a league cup to show for it in 2 years.
Mourinho is function and the perception of reliability over everything, to the point of detrimental madness. You’re seeing it now. There’s no way on gods green earth that you’ll ever be able to convince me that Lucas Moura is a superior player to Steven Bergwijn, unless you wasn’t to say Bergwijn is lazy too.
Lucas is far more industrious though.... He's a proper "busy cunt"... Little suprise Jose likes him.
Skipp is a better DM than Sissoko now but “experience”.
Yet, we had exactly the same scenario under Poch... Ditto the polarising Mr Winks.... Ditto when it comes to asking questions (albeit more subtly) of Ndombele.
I don’t trust his player evaluation and I’m not crazy considering the last 5 years of evidence.
Sure.... Look for evidence, but stay objective and beware of hype.... Especially when considering someone that attracts the amount of column inches that Jose does.
