Just been reading Mansour wants Mourinho!
Now i really can see him joining. He likes to shape the club when he joins and spend a lot of money, all of which we can offer and the other teams that can he has already managed. I think it will rest on us getting top 4.
Anyway back to today.
Would like a 4-2-3-1

Its West Brom ffs, you still want to play 2 defensive midfielders, of which Barry/Toure, at current form neither is fit to be a defensive midfielder anyway, Barry at his best is a terrible defensive player, Toure isn't close to his best.
You've lost 3 games in a row playing 2 defensive midfielders and having issues scoring, don't you want to play a 4-4-2, with the eleventy billion you've spent on attacking players, and have a chance of winning a game.
Honestly, as a non city fan who wants to see attacking good to watch football I'm embarassed for City going to a newly promoted side with almost certainly the intention of playing 2 or even 3 defensive midfielders, its a joke.
As for Mourinho, don't know why people are discounting it, its what he does, though he'll wait for City to be a top two team, almost the finished article then come in and take the credit, thats also what he does best
Mourinho, he likes to spend, wants free reign to hire and fire as he pleases, he isn't going to get that at Utd, they have more to spend than people think but Mourinho won't be there in time for a big summer replacing all the retiring guys and after that, he won't be interested probably.
City + the money, + negotiating to get what he wants = Mourinho's best choice.
