Great chat.

Indeed, Philip. Not a healthy one either. I wouldn't say he is the best, but he certainly has the capacity to make his career so.

Nobody had mentioned Mourinho, so the fact that you even associate him with being the best manager is in itself a huge appraisal of his abilities.

To be honest, I see where the guy is coming from, like its a trend I have noticed in Serie A that the press does have a tendency to overstate the talents of new players in our league. I think it is a case of feeling a pressure to have an array of stars like Spain and England, less so Germany...

I think is too much a British orientated list there, like you haven't included some very important managers there like Pozzo, Capello, Rocco or Trapattoni, managers that not only built very successful teams, but also showed fantastical tactical skills, even moved the game forward greatly in how...

Milan aren't supported by the state at all, and like all Italian clubs pay a very high rate of taxation compared to European clubs, particularly Spanish, especially Barcelona and Real Madrid. That and we actually pay to the government for our stadium, its fair though, they paid to build it...

Doesn't require you to buy a whole team, will be interesting when your current squad moves on and you have no money left in the bank what will happen.

Better than Barca the village idiots spending a kings ransom on magic beans.

I'll tell Galliani to have the private jet put on stand by and have Mino on alert. I smell another bargain for the taking.

By met I mean was in the same club as him, yes. Very loyal of him though to be in there even before a game as its the nightclub owned by Lendoiro.

Valeron 100% I met him last year in Coruña, I don't think he remembers me though, such a legend, day before a match and he was out drinking.

Crisis.

Well your club must have been convinced by him otherwise you would not have tried to sign him.

Really? Because when he played with us in Camp Nou, we weren't left embarrassed like Madrid's defence was, so I guess he is actually far better than Pepe. Atleast he realises that to be a defender you need to challenge accurately, not just wildly flail your legs at the ankles of any opposition...

Well he wasn't ok as you have a defence that was completely unable to handle the pace of Barcelona, which he was a part of. Had you signed a good technical defender who is not a total tortoise (like Silva, but I know he turned you down (just like to get that in there), but as an example of the...

Remember when you signed Carvalho I said it was a panic buy as he was not at all what you needed - a centre back with pace? Umm, ya, anytime you want some advice in the future am happy to help.

He needs a proper punishment, he should forcibly have the S,E and R removed from his first name by deed-poll. I have to say I like him as a player, its very difficult not to admire such enthusiasm. But that was inexcusable, all of it, its not like you can even say he had the right to be wound...

I still preferred the last one. :D

Bit insulting that, Nik, my cookie munching friend. Ban him.

What a ridic way of trying to predict the outcome of a football game, if anything you should be comparing Villa to Carvalho, Ozil to Alonso etc.
