Emanalo The Problem

Whenever Mourinho's in trouble, his devoted fans always find someone else responsible. No matter what, it's always somebody else's fault. Somehow Ancelotti had only himself to blame, RDM was too inexperienced, Big Phil was too Brazilian and Benitez was too fat.

But not Jose. He can do no wrong and if there's a problem, it just means somebody didn't give him the players he'd wanted or gave him the wrong players, or better yet, the owner hired people to undermine the genius. Grant was the fall guy back in 2007, now it's Emenalo. 

The funny thing is, when Mourinho's team wins, his fans see him as a sole reason for the success. For some inexplicable reason the evil Emenalo didn't prevent him from winning the title last season. Whenever the new player doesn't work out, 'he was forced on Jose'. But what about the good transfer business? Is it all down to Mourinho?

The truth is, it's him. JM is a brilliant manager and has a larger than life personality, but he's not perfect. He has made some serious mistakes in the last few years and now it's catching up to him. Happens to the best of us, it's just the first time for him and he's not taking it well.

I'd be willing to write this season off and put my faith in Jose, but he needs to at the very least start acting like he cares about the club more than himself. It's bad enough we're losing on a pitch, but when he's constantly losing it off of it, it makes things so much worse. Unless he shows some real maturity and soon, I'd lose all hope in the idea of him staying long term and building something at CFC.

Well now that we've finally figured out the problem at Chelsea, we can all stop arguing about Mourinho and the players and have a big Emenaloout campaign. As soon as he's gone we might even have a chance at the treble.

 
Actually I never wanted Carlo gone and was quite saddened that RDM was sacked when he was still in the top four, especially for the interim to be Benitez. I believe I am no where near being alone in this. To me, those are further proof that the board/Roman act rashly, with the club suffering as a result, and are indeed looking like they will repeat that mistake....yet again.

Only problem is, we have a far worse squad now that lack the mentality to win regardless of the manager than we did after Mourinho's first stint.

 
It's not to say that Emenalo is the root of all evil at Chelsea. But his incompetent approach to the last transfer window has planted a seed that has kept growing uncontrollably ever since. It takes water to grow, however, if that makes sense. Mourinho didn't do himself any favours alienating his staff and the players could have guessed that turning up for pre season overweight will be a problem. Mourinho was visibly frustrated that we did not but a single top player, and rightly so, but the way he and some players dealt with their frustration was not right.

Still, I want our transfers to be planned and executed by professionals with sophisticated networks and relationships across the continent.

 
Our so called abysmal transfer window is the result of selling half our future to win now. With a little more patience and forward thinking the likes of De Bruyne, Mata, Luiz, Lukaku could've contributed.

Besides bringing up our transfer dealings is strawman at this point. The League champions are currently battling relegation not on the cusp of Top 4. We're in unprecenented terrority under Roman despite the various much maligned coaches he's hired. The same squad that isn't even aging shouldn't have dropped off this badly.

This is an extreme opposite to the ' Jose wants to get sacked' thread. Of those players we sold in the last 2 seasons, most of them were under played by Jose. The only one I could argue against was Cech, but from what I heard it's the boss sanctioned the move in the end. Jose didn't pick Mata for his lack of defensive work, dropped KDB for complaining about match time, even Felipe Luis couldn't get regular football because Azpi/Ivanovic were every game.  Lukaku was never given a proper game. What did Emanalo suppose to do, keep everyone for the sake of it? Even Jose said in better days he doesn't like a big group of players. In layman's terms, I don't have time to take care of your feelings, you do what I ask or else. As for the signings, of course we made some poor ones, all due to Emanalo? He did get Jose Pedro, who despite a brilliant first 90 minutes just faded, Emanalo again? Way too easy to blame the other guy.

Sorry, that's just about the worst line of argumentation I've ever read on this forum. Apologies, if your post is good after that as I stopped reading it. Emelano is an unproven little vermin that kissed asses to get where he is. Well done for getting the gig at Chelsea, but he will never get credit for that from people like Mourinho.

And besides, it does not take a genius scout to figure out Mata, Hazard, Courtois or Lukaku are promising players. We were well aware of them before Emelano infected our club.

You may have noticed that I hate nepotism.

Then you need to get your head out of your ass and take a good look at the world around you.
 
At the end of the day Jose has more or less run the same 11 players into the ground, has no intention of integrating promising youth talent into the first Team, which Fergie was a master at or trying other player options when we have nothing to lose ... As soon as Ivan's injury free he's a nailed on starter, once again and the whole Premiership will be rubbing their hands with glee ... This time around Jose only has himself to blame ... Full stop.

Very good post  ::clap2::  

I have been and am firmly behind Jose's return, but he really must stop this churlish stuff it's harming the club now.

And NONE of this has anything to do with what's his name..

Maybe not but he still bought them so he deserves credit for that thats how it works. We got KDB and Courtois at absolute bargain prices when loads of clubs could of got them for that but we got them first. While we were buying KDB for £6M Man Utd were buying Zaha for 12-15M in the same transfer window so not everyone was appreciating KDB talent.

How about when he failed to sign Rooney when it would of been the piece needed to win the title in Mourinhos first season?

What about the failed desperate panic bids for a CB this summer? 

How about the flops and wasted money?  Marin, Cudraudo, Salah, Luis etc

I would point out that Hazard did not sign because of Emenalo, he signed because we won the CL.

According to rumours its actually more Emenalo than Mourinho why KDB is not here.

I would also point out, since we are on the KDB train of thought, it was likely Emenalo who thought it was a good idea to sell Matic for peanuts and then rebuy him for over 20million not even 2 seasons later.

Just wanted to help you fill in the picture more completely.  I really dont think recruiting players for one of the most competitive clubs in Europe, who also happen to pay some of the biggest salaries, is really that challenging.  Especially when you do so for a club thats buying young talent by the tonnage.

For example, I bet a guy with no experience could probably walk into the job and do alright..... just like Emenalo did.

Yes that black guy is our problem. Let's get rid of him and the team will magically start playing again for mourinho.

I wonder if you had the same feelings when he was signing all those great players for us.

Edit: oh so now not only did he have no hand in signing all those players he was actually responsible for them leaving. What an evil man. I'm guessing he's only at Chelsea because of PC gone mad right?

Yes, because everyone is insinuating it's because he's black.I don't think any forum member would like it inferred they are they are racist because of their opinions on Emanalo. When they blame Mourinho, are they doing it so because he’s Portuguese?

I sincerely doubt their frustration is down to race, nationality, gender or religion.

Great post, it's like those people who claim that some of us aren't interested in the new Ghostbusters cause they're women. It's not it's because they're messing with a classic and personally for me I don't find those two from Bridesmaids funny in the slightest.

Don't get me wrong, I think the current team should be doing better and that is down to many things.

Emenalo's role and responsibility is different. And I doubt any of us know who is entirely responsible for player ins and outs at the club.

But I'm assuming that Emenalo has a key say in recruitment and squad planning in consultation with the manager.

If it's the case that Emenalo has been decisive in getting rid of certain players while failing to recruit adequate replacements with the overall result that the squad is weaker than it would otherwise be, then that impacts on how well the team is doing. And how well the manager can do his job.

Especially if the manager identifies key areas of the squad that needs addressing and you fail to meet his demands.

My personal opinion is that the Board need to take responsibility for a string of poor decisions in the transfer market that has left the squad thin and unbalanced. And if the person in overall responsibility is Emenalo then he should be removed from any future say in such a key area.

Let me try to sway you from your opinion then. 

*  Lukakau , KDB - Were youngsters with potential who were never utilized and wanted playing time. The manager does not want to play them for his reasons, the players want playing time and want to movie out and other clubs are coming with good money - what is the best thing to do in that situation ? 

* The core of last year's title winning team were never sold. They are all under-performing. While the likes of Drogba and Cech did leave, we did add quality in the form of Pedro, Begovich and Baba Rahman who comes as one of the most improved LBs from Bundesliga. So if anything we did add quality. 

* Ideally Luis would have been here and we would have used him as the LB and Caesar shifted to RB and not played Ivanovic given his form. Sadly the year we won the title, Luis did not even sniff the ground. He was not rotated, he was not given enough minutes, he was just on the bench. He obviously did not want to be here and went back to Atleti. Was it Emanellos fault he did not get playing time ? 

* Falcao  - when he came in, JM said that he talked to Cahill and Terry about bringing him in and Emanello did bring him in. If Falcao is not performing to expectation is it Emanello's fault ? It does not seem like it was Emanello who identified him as a requirement. 

Dont you think these are fair reasons that maybe the fault does not like with Emanello but more with our form in the pitch ?
