Mourinho Is A Hypocrite

What is synonymous with the self proclaimed "Special One"? You could say, winner, successful, funny even arrogant but hypocritical wouldn't be a trait one would give the Chelsea boss. Whether it was swipe or attack on his rivals that they are trying to buy the league is yet to be seen, but he can't attack others on what his done in his whole managerial career.

Gone are the days where it was Chelsea and probably Real Madrid who were buying all the best talents and going on crazy spending fee's. Does Mourinho feel threatened that his blues are not the only big spenders in club football? This is the game of today, this is the modern era where clubs are lazy to nurture home grown talents and are willing to spend big bucks on established talents from other continents. Teams cannot win on youth alone like the old Fergie, Man Utd teams of past. We are not going to see another class of 92 or the Arsenal team of past even though Wenger spent, that team was moulded around the home grown talents of Adam's, Cole and Parlour.  

Whether we (Mourinho included lol) like it or not this is the nature of modern day football, well mostly in England to be a force in club football you have to invest heavily in European talent. Football is a business now as much as the FA are stamping down on this (How ironic of them to stop something that's brought them so much money down the years *rolls eyes*) There's not much we can do unless FIFA/UEFA/FA introduce a spending cap. I feel if there was a limit imposed on how much a club spend, they would be forced to look at their academy and more talent would be recognised and getting a chance in the first teams. So people like Mourinho don't buy the league and then moan when his rival managers do it lol.

Do Man City Ruin English Talent?

To answer the question in my title of this article then yes, okay even though Joe Hart is untouchable in goal, Milner had a great season last year but was never a automatic place in the team, and Barry and Lescott who did play their parts in 2012 title winning team, but were left to bite the dust. So the Etihad Stadium is the grave yard for English players. New recruits Sterling and Delph are wasting their careers away and probably tarnishing their England careers.

When you think about it, the City team pick it's self, and Sterling and Delph will find it hard to get games, ask Rodwell, Sinclair and Richards they would probably back me up on this. It's sad to see so much great and potential talent go to waste but when you have a great squad like City does. It's hard for anyone to get in to the team. England will always fail as a nation if English players are not getting games and owning a position in the starting 11's of the top teams in the 1st English tier. The FA may have introduced new laws to raise British talent. But teams are just using English players to fill up their squads so they don't get in trouble with UEFA. (Like we don't already know this lol *wink, wink*)

I thought this was a problem at Arsenal when they were on top of their game in the last decade but it's trend I've seen in most top teams. Look at the best countries in the world all their top clubs have a base of players from their country. And that's why they're a success if the Chelsea's, Liverpools and the City's keep benching the best English talent how do we expect the national team to get the ball rolling? I've said this and will always say this the FA need to cut down the quantity of foreign managers and players in the league, because if they don't the league will loose its English identity which is slowly happening. It may be the best league in the world and why do you think that's because of???????? I doubt it's because of the English talent there is to offer.
