Just makes it that extra bit of cold, the Moron special if you will.
I don't blame Moron for wanting to get rid of Schweinsteiger btw; it was obvious all of last season that he is past it. It is, for me, all about the manner in which Moron is going about this. How do you sit down, have a think about the player, probably talk to a few staff members - and then come to the conclusion that this is how you want to play this?!
Exactly. He could let Schweinsteiger continue to train with the team while looking for a move before the end of August. A sale or even a loan would be much better for United as a club than making him rot in the reserves. This is nothing more than Mourinho humiliating a respected pro, a guy who has won everything a footballer could win, just because he feels like it.
But you don't know what his motives are. You and most Arsenal trolls on twitter will say just what you have said: It's Mourinho throwing his weight around in typical Mourinho fashion. Why is it not "Jose doing the squad cleansing in true warrior fashion because he wants the best of the best" It's always negative and Mourinho is to blame.. which is what you'd expect from people on here and Arsenal forums.
How does anybody know that Bastian said he's not leaving the club no matter what happens because he likes the amount of money he's on, even if his legs are past it and even if he was somewhat overweight last season? He isn't budging even though he had ligaments in his knee damaged and subsequently missed the last 4-5 months of the season.
Jose could have watched him train, been shocked at what he saw and decided that it was in the clubs interest and in the squads interest to let him go, something he's refused flat out.
Last resort? Demote him to the reserves to push him out.
Mourinho has always had a draconian mentality. This isn't new or shocking. If I were a player I'd want the best team available and If I saw Jose Mourinho doing whatever needs to be done to get that, I'd be happy. You might not.
