What if
”What if” is a phrase
that is usually associated with regret and second thoughts mostly from missed
opportunities. You know that feeling you have when you fail to talk to that
beautiful girl, when you oversleep and go late to work as a result, when you go
in for that test without studying etc. In this article we will be taking a look
at the “what if’s” of this week.
Mourinho/Moyes
What if Manchester
United opted for José Mourinho rather than David Moyes. I know for sure that
most Manchester United fans have had this thought in their heart. Even you…Yes
You! I mean Manchester United had the opportunity to snatch up the Special One
and Transform him into the Chosen One before Chelsea did. But Sir Alex opted
for his fellow Scottish man. The transition from Sir Alex has been anything but
smooth. Three successive defeats at the turn of the year have transformed an
already tough situation into a crisis. A friend of mine likened it to riding a
formula 1 car on an uneven road. Surely the trip will be bumpy. With the
Special one on the verge of his 100th win one cannot but wonder “what
if” he was the replacement for Sir Alex. Would united be 7th on the
league?
January
Transfer Window or Not
”The
Professor” a special title reserved for the ever pragmatic and wise Mr Wenger
said this week what he has continued to say for a very long time that the January
transfer window should be scrapped (maybe replaced with a Door). Arsene said the window was “unfair” and
“Either you leave it completely open the whole year or you close it completely
for the whole year,” I know you are probably
thinking “Mr Wenger stop being cheap and spend some money”. Before you crucify
The Professor let’s look at his logic. “It is like running a relay, then in the
middle of the relay you change your runners ”. “It gives teams a chance who are
already convicted, it gives some teams hope ”.
I
really think Wenger is right. The January transfer window also affects the
attitude of players. Kenwyne Jones had the “balls” to send a text to Mark
Hughes that he will not be available for Stokes home fixture against Liverpool
simply because he thinks Everton were interested in buying him. Fair enough he
has made only four premier league starts this season but you can’t help asking what
if the January transfer window did not exist.
Well guys till next time ... Stay true to the Beautiful Game...
