Biggest myth ever. Just because Mourinho doesn't promote or buy scrubs doesn't mean that he doesn't play youngsters. With the Portuguese if you're good enough you're old enough.

How is it a myth? What is Mourinho's celebrated history with youngsters? Can't say I followed him in the portuguese league, but at Chelsea, Inter and Madrid its pretty abysmal.

Criticize Van Gaals terrible results all day, but the Dutch plays the kids at every chance he gets.

Just because Mourinho will never play the likes of Blackett this doesn't mean he doesn't play young players. They have to be good though. Ozil, Marcelo, Varane, Robben, Zouma are prime examples of world-class players that were developed by Mourinho

He didnt develop varane or marcelo, is this bait?

Unique wrote:Liverpool are set to appoint Bayern Munich fitness coach Andreas Kornmayer to Jurgen Klopp’s backroom staff this summer.

Klopp has hand-picked the 41-year-old as the perfect replacement for Ryland Morgans, who parted company with the Reds last month.

Kornmayer has worked with Pep Guardiola, Jupp Heynckes and Louis van Gaal during a decade of service with Bayern. He progressed through the ranks before being promoted to first-team duties in 2010.

Now he’s keen to take on a new challenge and is expected to start work as Liverpool’s fitness coach prior to the start of pre-season training in July.

Kornmayer will have a key role to play in ensuring that Klopp’s players are in the best possible shape for what will be the German coach’s first full season in charge, Liverpool head to California for a training camp in mid-July and will play three friendlies in the States.

Morgans, whose contract was set to expire at the end of this season, left his role as head of fitness and conditioning a fortnight ago.

Liverpool U21s fitness coach Andy O’Boyle has taken on the first-team duties for the rest of this season.

Gazzetta saying that we almost closed the deal with Valencia for Andre Gomez and that it will be official by the end of the season.

^Thats probably not true but the links with the player are real. Anyone that watches him play, how is he? I've heard the hype but not seen him much.

seems like we really signed him, official after the season ends. All good gurus are reporting it....

According Di Marzio , Manchester United are very close to sign Renato Sanches from Benfica for 60 mln.

by zigra Mon Apr 25, 2016 3:28 pm

60m like literally WTF bounce

by Glory Mon Apr 25, 2016 3:33 pm

Ya Seems happening sadly.
Could have got Dembele + Bazoer/Tielemans for that kind of money. Literally shocking and insane by the board. The kid will flop as he is nowhere near good technically. Only got power, and physique and a decent shot from distance. Would rather give Fosu Mensah a go in CM than this kid.
So sad our club's become a plaything for Jorge Mendes.

Doubt you have seen any of these players outside of youtube tbh.

So how you know they are massively better than this guy is beyond me.

I have to agree on Glory's assessment on Sanches, seen him vs Zenit and he was nothing special technically speaking, very bullish and all over the place, very headless chicken-esque player

by Jay29 Mon Apr 25, 2016 4:39 pm

Perfect for the Premier League, then.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 25, 2016 4:40 pm

Watching Zenit rofl

by Doc Mon Apr 25, 2016 5:27 pm

I guess the thought pattern is that if you're struggling to perform against Zenit, what's the chance he performs week in and week out in the EPL?

Is it incredibly unfair and way too narrow of an indicator to judge him, yes it is. But like Jay wrote, the description of him seems perfect for the EPL.

by M99 Mon Apr 25, 2016 5:31 pm

60 million??? Surely thats in lira.

I have seen Sanches in 3 matches and it was enough for me to form an opinion about him. I admit I havent watched those other kids I mentioned, but my assessment about them arent based on a couple of youtube videos alone, I can say that at least.

Also I wouldnt have had any problem if we were buying Sanches for something like a 20 mil( the kind of money the other wonderkids I mentioned will cost) Instead we are getting him for the price of an established top CM. So eventhough theres a big possibility that someone like Ousmane Dembele too will flop in the PL the price we pay wont be as big as this.

by B-Mac Mon Apr 25, 2016 8:28 pm

we have been scouting Tielemans hmm

hope Sanches is just the new Gaitan tbh

I'm not sure the deal is done yet, but everyone seems to agree that we're getting close to signing him.

Apparently Barca is after Wendell from Bayer. I know crap about him but I expect a barrage of Bayer experts to all of a sudden pop up and tell me if he's fantastic or over rated.

Every single top club in Europe has been scouting Tielemans. Probably the most scouted young player in Europe.
So it shouldn't be shocking if any rumors if Utd or any club pop with that sort of news. Just a matter of what club is willing to brake the bank for the kid, cause he is not going for anything cheap with the amount of attention he is getting.

The kid had a pretty ordinary last season tbf. He was struggling to get into their 1st team.
He wont go for anywhere near the money Sanches is attracting right now.

In terms of form Ajax's Bazoer and Porto's Neves are doing much better. But both are essentially CDMs and not B2Bs like Youri or Renato.
Having said that I still prefer we go for Tielemans over Sanches.

Bazoer is a B2B & he is not that good IMO - He is never gonna be a WC player, he is just not there technically IMO!

Liverpool make “first formal offer” for Barcelona centre-back Thomas Vermaelen

Vermaelen under Klopp could rival Diaby's injury record.
