ozboy Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id...and&cc=3436 These comments of Glen's ring true to me and make me think that as much as I like Mourinho there is always an element of scandal there. I'd rather a title and some scandal than cleanliness and 3rd or 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWestwayWonder Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I'd rather a title and some scandal than cleanliness and 3rd or 4th. words, no doubt, that will be written on Jose Mourinho's tombstone :D Move along, Johno. Is the Barca game that he is referring to the one where Boularouz put Ronaldinho in his pocket for 90 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack h Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 You would have to ask Jose Mourinho what his reasons were, but I know it was because he didn't want to see me play well again and be forced to pick me for the Barcelona game. Yes thats it glen, he didnt want to see you play well. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecoolguy22 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 If you are a right back and can't defend, you aren't going to make into Jose's team. Johnson had plenty of chances to prove himself under Jose, but failed, end of the story. I still don't think he can defend, otherwise Fergi would have put in a bid for him (with ugly Neville retiring and Oshea not a real right back).

g3.7 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 bah- it's obvious that jose wasn't interested in johnson and that he didn't man manage him well. it was obvious then, whether these allegations are true or not doesn't matter really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Haribo Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Seems to think he's a bit of Billy Big Bollocks after his move to Liverpool, does Johnson. Boyhood fan, don't you know! So was Robbie Keane, Glen, and look how that went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right. And it also follows that it doesn't really matter why Mourinho didn't have faith in Johnson. All that matters is that he didn't. And if your manager doesn't have faith in you, then a move elsewhere is the best for all concerned. Mourinho can justify his actions pretty easily. We beat a very good Barcelona side over two legs in a famous victory for Chelsea. If I remember rightly, Paolo Ferreira played really well. That's his job as a manager - to win matches, not to be Mr Nice Guy to Glen Johnson and give him opportunities to further his career. Who's to say that we would have got the same result if Johnson had been at right back for that match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWestwayWonder Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I wonder how the brilliant and wise Rafa feels about Glen signing for Liverpool, and then going off at the mouth about a coach he had 2 years ago.

rolo_88 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Paulo was better than Johnson at the time.. hows that different from any other team in the world, someone better than you, in your position, gets played ahead of you..

loz Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Paulo was better than Johnson at the time.. hows that different from any other team in the world, someone better than you, in your position, gets played ahead of you.. Geta grip mate! Very true however I wish Jose had stuck to that philosophy as Paulo was better than every other right back that Jose chose to play ahead of him as well.

Captain Haribo Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Who was Ferreira dropped in favour of under Mourinho? He was first choice when fit until Bosingwa's arrival, as far as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 You remember wrong. Jose picked all sorts of players at right back ahead of Paulo including Boulahrouz, Diarra and Essien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Haribo Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Fair enough on Boulahrouz, I remember him getting a short run there. I always thought Diarra and Essien only played there while Paolo was injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moos Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 So this mean that if we really was in for Johnson then we actually made Liverfool not only spend a small fortune on a player who isn't that great, but we also got them to give him a £139.000-a-weak contract. Wages he surely does not deserve and that might stir some discord at Liverfool. Maybe Kenyon did a great job for once :lol: How nice wouldn't it be if it turns out that we - as one of Johnsons former clubs - get a piece of those £17million Pool payed :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
