So the headlines are....Jose dumps De Bruyne and sends him to train with under 21's. Now technically that is correct but what they are failing to mention is that all the 1st team squad not traveling to Romania are training with the under 21's for the next 3 days as they do every time don't travel. Gotta love the press.
Jose does not help himself with his petulance , he must learn to laugh out loud at the press, they can't handle that. Humour always works better than anger with them. Jose looks under pressure, and it's usually of his own making. Wish he would take a backseat for a while and just get the team firing. He doesn't need to prove anything, justify anything and especially say anything in public. A dose of silence handed to the press would be his best bet, they are such bottom feeding nobodies they can't even make stories up without some quote to start them off. Don't give them anything Jose.
50/50. You get journalists from the The Sun that tend to love him then you get the John Cross/Ollie Holt type that can't hide their contempt for him.
He would have had an agenda, knowing Jose, probably to stop press asking certain questions to undermine the squad. A staged petulance probably
Ha ha. He is cleverer than that loser. More fergie style to divert he press from Picking up on areas Jose is really concerned about
To be fair de Bruyne hasn't been setting the world on fire so far, and Jose has given good reasons for doing what he did! Perhaps this will be his wake up call!
tbf, I think Jose of old would've done, but the way the press constantly blurted on about Mata when he was in the same boat despite Jose giving them answers, he probably didn't want a repeat.
