bapi said:I think you're wrong. Both have same agent, Real spent 26M to sign him, he's Mourinho's 1st-choice right-back and can play RM and DM too. No chance he'll leave Real.Plain Speaking said:Mourinho has played Coentrao very little this season at Real. Despite being Portugese he doesnt seem to rate him.Seosa said:He'd get fucking destroyed at Left Back in England, he'd be exposed more than Kolarov. Add to that, whenever I see him play, he's always cutting in the middle instead of going down the side which is the job of a winger. He'd cost a bomb and wouldn't be worth it IMO.
Look at the Stats for Coentrao's last games for Real Madrid were as follows:
Sat 31/3 on bench came on as sub 6/10
Sun 8/4 on bench didnt come on.
Wed 11/4 Played 6/10.
Sat 14/4 on bench didnt come on.
Tues CL 17/4 Played 4/10 (lowest rank)
Sat 21/4 Surprise inclusion Played 7/10
Wed 25/4 CL on bench didnt come on.
Sun 29/4 on bench didnt come on.
Sat 5/7 not in squad.
Coentrao doesnt appear "first choice" he was critcised for his performance against Bayern Munich and although he made a surprise appearance the following match he didnt play again for Mourinho. He may share an agent but that doesnt mean he will start! I thought he played well in the last WC but he has not looked particulalry impressive in the Euros IMO.
