Mourinho says NO to Rooney but YES to Gerrard and Maicon
As suspected, almost every other football player’s name is being linked to Real Madrid. Some people are thinking that Jose Mourinho might sign the whole of treble winning Inter Milan starting eleven while others think he will sign Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, Cole from the premier league.
According to reports Mourinho has told Real Madrid not to persue Wayne Rooney, who reportedly would cost Real Madrid 94 million pounds. Mourinho does not want to offend Alex Ferguson. What the heck is happening here? Why is he being so repectful to Alex Ferguson? Should not Real Madrid come first? It’s not like Real Madrid do not have the funds (or even if we don’t, Real Madrid can loan from a bank as they always do).
I don’t know but this whole Mourinho’s Real Madrid project is already smelling really fishy here or may be it’s just me as Perez might already knew that Mourinho is going to leave Real Madrid no later than the moment Alex Ferguson retires at Old Trafford. Is that the reason for the ESCAPE CLAUSE in Mourinho’s contract or is that the reason why Mourinho is not trying to buy Wayne Rooney too.
I said in my previous post that I thought it was absolutely rubbish that Mourinho would stop Real Madrid from trying to sign Wayne Rooney but now he actually has. May be he has Manchester United so much on his mind that he does not want to weaken Manchester United’s squad in case he has to take over Old Trafford two years later.
I don’t like the fact that we are being played with by Mourinho but what I also don’t like is Real Madrid not winning any trophies. Mourinho is definitely going to win us some trophies that is for sure and may be Perez does have some sort of a plan for Real Madrid after Mourinho.
I find it extremely funny that most people are talking about Mourinho leaving Real Madrid on the day he just signed a contract with Real Madrid but it’s just the way Mourinho works. Infact, when Mourinho said in this interview that he knows the limitations of his strategies with any particular side and the strengths as well, I kind of got the feeling that he might setup Real Madrid’s strength’s and weaknesses to favor Manchester United in case Mourinho has to play Real Madrid in Champions League the same season he leaves Manchester United.
I hope, Alex Ferguson retires next season so Mourinho cannot take up his position immediately resulting in Manchester United hiring someone else and that someone else wins the League, FA Cup and Carling Cup for Manchester United in the same season and then gets a lifelong contract at Old Trafford hence destroying Mourinho’s dream in the process. May be that will make Jose Mourinho change his mind about betraying Real Madrid in the middle of his contract for Manchester United.
Anyway, Mourinho has given a thumbs up to Perez to persue the signature of Liverpool’s captain Steven Gerrard and Inter Milan’s right back Maicon. Both are absolute quality players and I think Gerrard is going to be a huge hit at Real Madrid (another post in which I would discuss the reasons). Maicon is a typical Brazillian right back and will do extremely well in any league he plays in. It would also help Real Madrid in defense as Mourinho has said, he wants to play Sergio Ramos in the centre of defense rather than on the right.
Just on the side, Bernd Schuster thinks that Jose Mourinho is going to have a tough time at Real Madrid as Real Madrid want style first and foremost.I don’t know if I want Mourinho to suffer or to succeed at Real Madrid. I think I would have rather taken Fabio Capello than Mourinho, if reports about Mourinho using Real Madrid as a stepping stone for his Old Trafford dreams are true.
Schuster also thinks that there is definitely some tension between Mourinho and Valdano as it was clearly visible during the presentation but he also thinks that it was good that Valdano presented him to show unity between themselves as they are working for the same goal, success of Real Madrid. The media is talking so much negative about Mourinho joining Real Madrid, I don’t know where this project will go when it’s beginning with so much negativity.
Mourinho is a intelligent chap as well. On one hand he just signed a contract with an escape clause in it and on the other hand, he says that Real Madrid is the perfect club for me as Real Madrid always want to win, which is coincidentally his mentality too and that he loves pressure. Pressure is the thing that motivates him and that is something he does not budge under.
Well that is pretty much it for today. What do you guys think? After so much speculation in the media about Mourinho’s intentions of being at Real Madrid do you think it will benefit Real Madrid in the long run?
