Did any of his former clubs have any decent songs we can nick?

I'm not sure "He parks his bus where he wants, his bus where he wants!" will get the crowd going :p

'He's the Special One' to Robbie WIlliams she's the one?

'We were shit, he was free
Now were one, Now were free
And if there's somebody to bring us on
He's the special one
If there's somebody calling me on
He's the special one'

I'm really not very good at this.

You're not special anymore :cautious:
I'm sure it will be Jose Mourinho to the Berbatov tune though

He’s magic, you know, José Mourinho...

:cautious:

I still don't know how to pronounce Jose. I've heard people explain it like 5 different ways and they seemed to settle on Joo-Ze which seems wrong!

Joe-Say

Portuguese pronounce the 'J' as we do, not like the Spanish who pronounce it 'Hoe-Say'

It's not though, is it?

Wikipedia:
People with the Portuguese given name José [ʒuˈzɛ] usually have their name pronounced by English speakers approximately as "joe say", which is frequently heard in news media. Examples of this are for instance former President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso and football coach José Mourinho, whose names are commonly pronounced with some degree of precision by world media CNN and BBC by resorting to English sounds (i.e. "Joseph" without the "ph", often sounding like "zhoo-ZAY").[4]

zhoo-ZAY with the "zh" being the same as the s in pleasure
