Jose and signings

These are the players signed by Jose

Bailly - had a sh/t game against Newcastle and nowhere to be seen after that. While smalling and Lindelof have made mistakes every game since the Newcastle game.

Fred - summer signing a player who has speed and stamina, easily make the transition from def to attack but is not played enough over tortoise matic and groot.

Lindelof - looks terrified Everytime I’ve seen this guy play. Scared to win duals, gets easily turned and his positioning is awful. Only reason he is playing cos of bailly. Can you imagine signing 2cb and not playing one of them at least

Matic - £40 million

Sanchez - 20 odd games and has done fack all. Player keeps complaining of unhappiness and manager can’t seem to get the best out of him. Lose lose situation

Lukaku - last season paid £75 million and repaid us with 15 league goals. For a player whose playing as a target man can’t control, win aerial duals, pass or even shoot properly sometimes is our main striker leading the attack

Pogba - shall we let him defend first or attack. With pogba we have creativity, without him we are useless in midfield. Put pogba in any other team and watch him play

Considering the signings Jose has made and the amount he has spent I would not give this fraud another penny. Sack the guy end of season, perhaps earlier considering our results. Jose is the biggest pu//sy manager I have seen in a long time when it comes against better opposition.

5 years since the great man retired and I can’t honestly say which direction the club is heading. The amount of money spent we are in no better position than Newcastle.

Lindelöf has improved quite a lot in recent weeks. Personally, I can see him growing into a player worthy of the shirt. But pretty much no central defender (especially if we're talking about young central defenders) is great outside a coherent partnership. Our general lack of quality partners and our lack of consistency due to injuries and dropping players can't help Lindelöf's adaptation to the team.

As bad a signing as them all

Led us to the Europa league, the only games where he got a run at #10.

The last few decent signings Jose made was Pedro, Fabregas and Costa. From Atletico and Barca and an all conquering Spain team.

The average 8 year old seemingly has the same eye for a player as Jose.

He is quite frankly horrible with money, has no eye for promising talent bar established world class stars and has no coaching ability.

Even the defence he had a reputation for coaching, has been abysmal.
Anyway, expect nobb-head to rationalize away jose failures soon.

I always think this was a bit of a myth.In reality what coaching does a prime Carvalho, Terry and Cole need, or a Maicon, Lucio, Samuel or a Ramos, Varane, Marcelo defence shielded by Makelele, Cambiasso, Xabi Alonso type need?

No demonstrative coaching from what I can see. Telling 10 players to camp round your box isn't coaching it's just a numbers game.

Everybody seems to have got caught up in the hype. He had Eto'o playing as a right wing back. One of the great poachers of that era. That wasn't a tactical masterstroke it was a travesty.

He has been found out by better managers once has hasn't clear financial dominance.
