    Is apparently fighting to keep control of the dressing room, the ****ing galaticunts don't know how good they've got it IMO, they're ahead of BARCELONA FFS.

    But the rumours on twitter say he's leaving madrid on june 30th. Would you want Jose at the Emirates next season? Sure as hell I would.

  2. Oh no not him please.

    Him and Rafa are a no-no in my books.


    I'd love to have Pep Guardiola. Someone said he might be free before long.

    I'd like to take Jose, but he would change the entire philosophy of Arsenal and turn us into a boring club, now I agree you don't have to always play the beautiful game to win, but I wouldn't enjoy turning into a constant boring team, I don't think we need to sacrifice our attacking philosophy in order to tighten up, just look at Barca as a great example of that, the best attacking team on the planet, with an excellent defence.

    I'd love to have Mourinho, I want us to have that winning mentality and mental toughness Wenger harps on about endlessly. You know Mourinho would make us tough as nails.

    Pep Guardiola is winning with a winning team he pretty much inherited, any donkey should be able to win trophies at Barcelona, lets be honest. I don't see what Guardiola is doing that is so special tbh.

    Admittedly, Mourinho is an annoying twat though, but I respect him as a tactician and a motivator of men.

  5. If we get Pep, we get all that..... assuming of course that the board will get out that chequebook.

    I heard a discussion on R5Live that the funds are being held back because of Kroenke. That he was using it to fund his other franchises. I don't know how he can take money out of the club like that but the money matter in our club is a great cause for concern which is why Mr U is very much needed on the board. Perhaps he may pay Kroenke to leave. Make that Kroenke and Gazidis :) Then when Pep comes to us, he can go shopping

  7. I agree with the last statement and he does command a lot of loyalty from his team ( well Chelsea afaik ) and he does protect his own. His rather unattractive football may drive us insane is what I'm thinking. Would this be worth it if we return to the winner's circle? Hmmmmnn.... tempting. I have bad memories of the rampantly-spending Chelsea of the last decade.

    Mourinho wouldn't be longterm, he never settles anywhere it seems. Hiddink or Rijkaard would be good for you guys, realistic too.

    Pep has made the best team in the world without the ball and that is what he brought to Barcelona. He is a clearly a special manager for all those Barca players that came through the youth system. He has shown amazing faith in players most people did not have a clue about. Pedro,Busquets and co are examples of that. He is tactically astute. He has developed Messi into the false 9 role and has got the very best out of Xavi and Iniesta. Most people thought Cesc would not get into the Barca team but Pep found space for him in the system and has again got the best out of him.

    Since Mourinho left Porto he has always had a substantial transfer budget to operate with. I don't think he'll go to a club where he has serious constraints.

    Surprised no one has mentioned the fact Mourinho loves to spend money to build "his" team. Funds have been available at Chelsea, Inter, and Madrid. Arsenal haven't exactly been prolific in the transfer window.

    His Inter team was funded by the sale of Ibra.

    Other than that he actually has one of the lowest Inter manager spend rates of recent decades.

    Mourinho wouldn't fit at Arsenal though.

    Also i think pep is a Barca only man... A bit like Man U and SAF were made for one another Pep was made for Barca.

    Mourinho will never come even close to a club that will not guarantee him at the very least £50 ml for his first transfer window and then some for the second one. Inter was a different story because the squad suited Mourinho to a T. With current Arsenal squad he would demand at least £100 ml. So forget it.
