I'd like to see the Special One take the job but I clearly have no idea who is going to be McLaren's successor!

Tony Adams has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to players and their managers.

I think people look too much into technical ability, too. I really don't feel England, Germany or many eastern European teams play like that at all. To me they play a quicker tempo of football and don't let their opponents settle down, I think it does make a difference that players from those nations aren't "one job" players.

Mourinho seemed to do well enough at Chelsea with a bunch of talentless English players, hopefully he can do the same with the NT where he'll have even more useless players to work with. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

How do you know he has no idea what he's talking about ?! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) .... Maybe because he doesn't hype the NT up, like the rest ?!

The game has developed since the 50s Kurt ... Hell, no one can play a quicker tempo than Brazil, still they stand alone in the technical aspect .. So I don't see ur point here ... and one job players are usually called 'professional footballers' (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well, out of the useless English footballers, he had Terry and Lampard as key players for him .. Joe Cole and SWP played nearly every two games, so .. And most notably, Mourinho would look outside of England for players ..

I don't understand why you refer to them as useless, but if ur gonna go with it, then so am I (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

It has nothing to do with hyping them up. He tends to think English players have a lack of respect for their managers. When in reality nobody respected and looked upto Jose more than JT and Lampard. Uniteds players (Neville, Scholes, Rooney, Hargeaves, Carrick included) see SAF as some sort of God, and rightfully so.

Playing a quick tempo isn't just what you do with the ball, but what you do off it. They don't close players down when not in posession, they back off and let their opponents play.

Since we're talking about football, I think they can all be considered professional footballers, I just don't think you understood what I was saying at all. What I mean by a 'one job' player is like Ronaldinho or Emerson. They do one job, that's it. Ronaldinho can't defend, Emerson can't attack and that's a difference I find between some nations and the likes of England and Germany. Ballack can attack AND defend, as can Gerrard.

Glenn Johnson, Wayne Bridge, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Joe Cole, Shaun Wright-Philiips, Steve Sidwell, Frank Lampard - He had his fair share of English players in the team. Admittedly, only 5 of those got regular first team football at Chelsea.

Because that's what everybody else thinks of them?
