i forgot about him, the point stands though....you cant claim the man has an interest in home grown tallent, thats like saying the inter squad is italian (the starting 11 for the cl final didnt have a single italian, and the only italian on the pitch played for 1 minute). He had a good eye for spanish tallent, but hes such an unlikeable person none of them seem to want to stick around. Spaniards wouldnt do well in serie a, its too physical. torres said a few months back that he couldnt carry on playing in physical leagues for the sake of his career.

Yeah, I agree with your point. I was just pointing out the exception to the rule.

i am personally just viewing this as some of the best news we could have had this summer. I doubt morrati will put up with his shit but i am hoping that by the time rafa has done the damage we will be back in control...where we belong.

I wouldn't be quite that optimistic but I do agree that :inter: losing Mourinho is great for us.

Congrats for your 20k . :tup:
Cheers.

he won the champions league with houllier's squad (by the skin of his teeth), and he won the fa cup with the same squad (by the skin of his teeth). Hes not won a thing since.

What he is good at is finding young spanish tallent....which is great in la liga but spanish players that are raised in la liga struggle in the epl/serie a/bundesliga/ligue une because of how physical they all are in comparison. I think that torres in la liga would be world class again, and wouldn't be injured 24/7. The exception of this are players like fabregas who developed as a player in the epl.

Well, inter are a lot worse without Mourinho, no matter who the replacement was gonna be. And if they don't spend a lot, and lose Mycunt, next season will be interesting, especially when the Italian media drive Benitez to depression.

With whose squad did he win La Liga and UEFA Cup (and not really by the skin of his teeth)? Cuper's?

so you ignored the later part of my post? i said he was good in la liga because of how good he is at finding spanish tallent, but hes flopped elsewhere because he hasn't adapted to the different playing styles and requirments of the epl.
