Jose has a history with wingers. He would sign one and then sell him at Christmas. Schurlle and Cuaotrado were basically signed and benched.

Gutted about this situation. Had high hopes
His time will come. He can be Mourinho's secret weapon.
There's something wrong, no way that anyone would pick Memphis above him for a good reason, he mustnt be available I reckon.
Wtf
I'm sorry but paying 30 million for a player and then not even giving him a chance is insane.
What on earth is going on, surely a place on the bench and football would improve his fitness.

Think it's just a case of Mourinho not being a big fan. He barely got a few minutes when he was fit at the start of the season. The first half against City didn't help him either. Was thinking he might get a start in the league cup, but then again we're up against City, so feck knows...
Mou probably just wants him to be absolutely and completely fit before getting into a competitive match. After all it was Mou's fault aggregating Miki injury by playing earlier than he should.
He needs to be careful this time and manage Miki return properly.

He isn't fit to play yet. If he was then he would be on the bench instead of Memphis, no matter how much you guys think Mourinho doesn't fancy him he sure as feck fancies him more than Memphis.
Also it is a weird thing to say considering Mourinho stated that he had four targets, and Ed delivered all four. This combined with Mourinho being caught scouting Dortmund several times before becoming our manager shows that Mkhi clearly was in his plans.

One reason I looked forward to this game was seeing him playing. This situation is really weird and it is a shame because I thought he will be the missing puzzle in our attack.
The Kagawa like reactions on here.
It's like we have gone back in time.
Step up the new MadWinger

Him starting Mkhi against City even when he was doubtful is the biggest sign that Mou rates him.
He just doesn't want to make the same mistake again, he won't rush him back until he's 100%.
And people are confusing being fit and being match fit. Miki is fit to train with the squad which he's been doing so for 3 weeks apparently but it still doesn't mean he's ready to play a competitive match yet. He's being managed as to not risk further injuries this time.
Players get fit to train with the squad but aren't necessarily ready for competitive matches.

I can't believe people think Mourinho would go after him, and then decide he doesn't fancy him within a couple of months.
The silliest one I've heard is that we signed him to curry favour with Mendez or someone

Agreed but these kind of games are the ones you use to build up match fitness, not going to get much more relaxed than this.
You are doing it all wrong.
Where are your posts in random threads complaining about this injustice?
Exactly.
Mou kinda learned the hard way in regard to managing Miki fitness. He's not dumb to make the same mistake twice.

So you don't think it's at all strange he is not being named at all in the squad 3 weeks after coming back to training? Add to the fact it was similar earlier in the season to.
The Mendes thing is daft though.
This would have been a good game to play him in but there's no point if he's not 100% ready.
Then why would he go through the trouble of buying him then? Surely he knew the player he was getting?

I'm new to this tbf. I need time to gel into the role.
WHY THE feck IS MKHI NOT STARTING FFS JOSE
So what do people want? Risk him and get him injured again to wait another 6 weeks to hear news about him being fit.
There are quite a few examples of Mourinho getting a player only to discard him quickly after having managed him.
Not match fit according to Jose.
how do you know that? and how do you know what phase of training it is?
Mourinho said he only just started training with no restrictions. Maybe he could train but the muscle injury wasnt getting better? Also maybe mourinho might not want to rush him back before he is 100% so he doesnt re injure it? Literally the only thing weve heard from mourinho on it is he was injured so I would expect to see him as a sub in the next few games, but with the fixtures as they are probably won't play until next week against burnley.
or José with Sahin, didn't it happen the same at Madrid.Besides Lewandowski, and arguably Götze (Rosicky before them), who stars for Borussia Dortmund and then replicates elsewhere? Let's see what happens with Gundogan and Hummels. Sahin, Shinji and Götze have all gone back.
Called it early on but I wouldn't be surprised if this signing was done to please Raiola.
That's better.
Now just a repeat perfomance in the Hillary vs Trump thread and you've aced it.
From what respect? Mourinho not fancying him?
He's a top name in his own right, his bundesliga exploits were top class last season.
/meltdown
He has a challenge on his hands to prove otherwise.But he has the talent to make it here though.

But people really lack patience.
Like already been said, it would not be the first time this has happened. Maybe it's a mentality-thing. Who knows... Maybe we took a risk with him as we where already looking to sign two of Raiola's clients.

I think it's the case, ppl mix up back/back in training/fit/match fit/available/ready to play/ready to start too often, Jose's english and reluctance to give clear statements to journos doesn't help either, he has to attend presses, it's also part of the pr to tell fans that he's BACK, so we can be looking forward something and which gives hopes to us.. He didn't come to bench him and this is not the game to play him if he doesn't feel he's 100% ready, it's just useless opponent at home, might not need to risk him in this game while other players in full fitness might deserve to start too anc could be better prepared to help the team to win.
Didn't Wenger or Raiola say Arsenal were in advanced talks to sign him but then United stepped in? Would not surprise me if Mou didn't really want him but signed him to stop a rival getting him - he's done it before.
Good god the meltdown on here. He's not ready. He thought he was ready to play City but he quite clearly wasn't. Jose's going to be extra cautious this time around.
Mourinho has seen what happens when Miki is rushed. He plays appallingly.
It's unusual for a player bought for fairly decent money in the summer to not play for 2 1/2months, but then most players don't arrive with a niggle, recover, then get another one.
He's gone lads, accept it. Young is signing a new 400,000 a week deal for the next 6 years.
