What players would Mourinho target?

[Oo0AahCantona]

In the potential outcome that Jose is hired to take over from LVG, who does the caf believe he would target in both the January and summer windows?

I think he would 100% get a stop gap central defender in January and potentially another right wing option should someone somewhat decent be available somebody like a Yarmolenko to add some power and pace to our flank.

We know he was keen on stones and Pogba at chelsea, it would be interesting to see how our potential targets change from the past summer.

 

[Sam]

Stones
Greizmann
Willian

 

[Invictus]

Zlatan
Griezmann
Pogba
Some Raoila/Mendes client.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Griezmann and Stones seem the 2 obvious.

Maybe he'd bring in some Real players who might demand more game time. Isco/Varane come to mind.

 

[VivaObertan]

Mikel, Drogba, Cole & Carvalho (Ricardo).

Mikel, Drogba, Cole & Carvalho (Ricardo).

Don't forget Paulo Ferreira

 

[bosnian_red]

Stones, Griezmann, Pogba seem very likely options, and 3 players who would be brilliant signings of course. Don't think pogba would come though. Can see Ibra in the summer on a free as well potentially. Mou and Ibra have a good relationship, right? With our need of an experienced striker, he could be the perfect person to help Martial up there.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

I'd love Griezzman.

 

[Womp]

Some players who could actually play football would be nice.

 

[ravi2]

Stones
Griezmann
Pogba

Zlatan for the wildcard.

 

[Parry Gallister]

A combative bastard DM (we actually need one too), Willian, a striker that doesn't quite work out (hopefully not Falcow again).

Our captain?

 

[Green_Red]

What if unicorns were real and they could play football! Would Mourinho replace Rooney with a unicorn?

From all accounts this question is about to be answered come January...

4 DM's aren't enough?! LVG would love this suggestion!

Already well-stocked with one of those, mate.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Technical workhorse winger, Center back, tricky winger/#10 and Woodward/Jorge Mendes's Muppet Signing of the year.

Yarmolenko
Stones
Rúben Neves: If Mourinho plays his cards right and uses his Porto/Portuguese connections (Long term Carrick replacement)
Bernardo Silva: Likewise
Zlatan, Griezmann, Ronaldo (Tbf Bernardo and Rúben are both his clients but think we'll get a bigger name to accompany)
Think he'll love the likes of Young, Valencia, Schneiderlin, Smalling, I back him to get the best out of Darmian and Shaw could be reminiscent to what Ashley Cole was for him.

--------------------------------De Gea----------------------------------
Darmian-------------Smalling---------Stones-------------------Shaw
-----------------------------Schneiderlin--------------------------------
-----------------------Herrera----------Rúben--------------------------
Yarmolenko-----------------Martial-------------------------Bernardo​

​

FWIW, I trust Mourinho in the transfer market.

 

[NoPace]

SEE POST DIRECTLY ABOVE

Signing Stones and Neves (plus De Gea sticking around) to give us technical ability in our defensive spine to go with Smalling and Schneiderlin's defensive skills, power and pace seems like a perfect fit. If all we did this summer was that and a good RW (or 9 with Martial wide) signed I'd be happy as a motherfecker.

 

[beergod]

Griezmann, Stones, and a #9 that can hold the ball up. Will probably go after Kane but settle for Zlatan.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Mane
Cabaye
Stones
Reus

deGea
Darmian Smalling Stones Shaw
Schneiderlin Cabaye
Mane Herrera Reus
Martial​

 

[RedDevil@84]

All the lot of Mendes looking for a change.

 

[kps88]

He'd need a Mata replacement asap.

 

[AltiUn]

100% convinced it would be;

Stones
Pogba
Griezemann

 

[K2K]

was Stones a Mourinho target or a Chelsea target?

For example, Baba Rehman was definitely not a Mourinho target

 

[Member 5225]

Stones
Kane/Vardy
Bale

I think he'll go out of his way to try and accommodate British players n all that.

 

[Varun]

This is taking muppetism to the next level.

 

[The Man Himself]

Stones and Griezmann would be awesome! Throw in Kane as well

 

[yellowandgreens]

Stones, Pogba, Zlatan, Greizman

------------------------de gea---------------------------
Darmain---smalling--stones---shaw------

Valencia, Jones, rojo, blind
Carrick, schweinsteiger, pereira,
Depay, wilson, januzaj

haha i swear

 

[Mindhunter]

Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

 

[Donaldo]

Transfer muppet AND Mourinho muppet thread. Fantasy football forum's below this one, chaps.

 

[Bojan11]

He'd need a Mata replacement asap.

Koke?

Weren't Chelsea interested in him last year too?

 

[Rolandofgilead]

He'd need a Mata replacement asap.

based on his performances over the past 6 weeks, so do we.

 

[Blackwidow]

Mou would field Schweinsteiger. He hunted him for years - even told him in front of the cameras that somewhen he will get him...

 

[AltiUn]

Be funny if he went for Ronaldo and Ramos.

 

[Oo0AahCantona]

This is taking muppetism to the next level.

Just giving the people what they want

 

[Varun]

Just giving the people what they want

Oh yes. Managerial debate + Transfer discussion. Can't go wrong.

 

[Spielmacher]

Bosingwa is a free agent.

 

[TakeMeHome]

Joe Cole
Bosingwa
Drogba

 

[Acquire Me]

Zlatan would be a crazy cool signing
