Mourinho is always at clubs now where trophies are expected so it's a little harder for him to blood youngsters as much as wenger does because wenger is under no pressure to win at all. A top 4 finish has become a trophy for arsenal fans players and the manager whereas other clubs measure success with trophies. He has yet to create a team that wins a trophy since the move to emirates so proves he needs money to win just like any other manager and is no miracle worker like you suggest. Mourinho though won the cl with Porto with a negative net spend and has won trophies at every club he has been at. Mourinho with or without money is a better manager than wenger.

there's bigger clubs than chelsea who always bring through youngsters.. Chelsea's just not that type of club and Mourinho's not that kind of manager. he cares about winning in the short term, doesn't last long at clubs and other managers believe in things like style of play, developing young players and build a philosophy at a club.

you mention trophies in every sentence so it must be the only way you judge success but for me spending 1 billion and then winning a few trophies isn't a huge achievement.. it's just to be expected like all the other sugar daddy clubs in Europe showed. and if it was all about trophies then Chelsea fans wouldn't still think highly of Ranieri.

Ok, enjoy your 4th place trophy with your 'style of play' and your 'young players' and 'philosophy'.
Leave the trophies to us.

i will enjoy it although the two aren't mutually exclusive anyway.. as Wenger showed in the past and most likely will do again now that we're on a more level playing field.
