I remember the Mourinho debate generated some heated arguments (with some getting personal), and the thread subsquently closed. But I believe it is a worthy topic, especially now that the Mourinho-to-Milan issue has resurfaced in the media.

Personal I would welcome him, as I rate very high. It certainly won't be step backward if he replaces Carlo. But who knows, it might just be media talk, but the story is certainly gaining momentum (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I rate Carlo and Jose both highly.

The main arguement I have against Carlo is this: Yes, he has a family atmosphere, but why is this? Is this part of the reason Gourcuff doesn't get a chance to play - Because he's too busy keeping the 'stars' happy by playing them all the time?

One thing I love about Jose is that he will not be told what to do - don't get me wrong, I love Sheva - but the fact that he hardly played showed me something about Jose. He does what he wants, he's not going to be a yes man. If Silvio tells him the CL is his priority, it won't make a difference as he'll go after each trophy the same - that's the way Jose is.

Gourcuff will get his chance under Carlo, as will Pato ... U can't use that against Carlo, u just can't. Cuz up till now, he has produced on of the best teams in Europe!


The Sheva incident ... Well, at Milan, the team used to play for 'Sheva' ... If u go back to old games, u'd see that the formation was played around Shevchenko. When he left, the team struggled to fit Oli into that same system, and Carlo shifted it to a 4-3-2-1. Today it is played around Kaka'.

At Mourinho's Chelsea, they didn't play around Shevchenko. They played the typical English game. Long balls to a target man (Drogba), and Shevchenko's attributes doesn't come out to the full extent from that sort of play. Hence, he was isolated and dubbed to be a 'flop' in the EPL.

Bring Shevchenko back to Milan and see how he'd flourish under Carlo again (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
