Jose was again crying about being a pauper compared to Pep in the transfer market. Inspired by this I decided to see if I could rudimentarily put together a better team than Jose with the same amount of money and player availability.
Can swap a player Jose has signed for another player who has been transferred in his time as Utd manager but they cannot cost very much more than the Jose player transfer fee.
Umtiti €25m >>>> Bailly £34m
Pjanic €32m >>>>> Mhki £30m
Vrsaljko €16m >>>>> Dalot £19m
Jorginho €57m >>>>> Fred €59m
Skriniar £30m >>>>>> Lindelof £31m
David Luiz £31m >>>>> Matic £40m
Salah £37m >>>>> Sanchez £30m - ish
This is without considering the multitude of great players we could have signed for the £170m or so spent on Pogba and Lukaku.
-----------------------------------DDG-----------------------------
Vrsaljko------------Umtiti-------------Skriniar---------------Shaw
----------------------Luiz-----------------Jorginho------------------
----------------------------------Pjanic--------------------------------
Salah-------------------------Rashford----------------------Martial
Of course this ignores a player's wishes (e.g. Jorginho probably nailed on for Sarri at Chelsea all day long) and the Utd premium tax but my goodness has Jose/the club been horrific in the transfer market.

How odd! You have seen luiz play I take it? League winning, cl winning luiz, you seen him this year? Or under Conte when we won the league? Guys been brilliant after a shaky first term with us.

I thought the 10-11 half season was arguably his best for us, including Conte's winning season, that or maybe he just felt so good given how depressing every other aspect of that season was.
I honestly thought at one point he was going to revolutionise the CB position, i still maintain that City game (when he scored the opener) was one of the single best defensive displays i have seen. If he got a manager like Sarri at 23 he may have fulfilled such potential

Yeah. His poor season/s are far outweighed by his good ones. He was fantastic in the cl final

Yeah, I’ve seen him play, he can’t defend in a two, he’s looked shaky this season, never mind his first. Also, John O’Shea, Wes Brown and David May have won leagues and Champions Leagues, doesn’t make them brilliant players.

Can’t play in a two outdated previously proven wrong opinions. Conceded only 8 goals in a complete new set up this year and unbeaten since the charity shield.

He looked all over the place v Arsenal and didn’t look that great when we drew at SB a few weeks back, completely sold himself for one of the goals. Whenever I watch him, he seems to do something rash or looks a bit out of sorts.
If he’s improved, generally and I just happen to catch him on a bad day then fair enough, I don’t watch him closely every week but apart from the title win a couple of seasons ago, I’ve never really been that impressed by his defending.

Nobody looked good against arsenal.it was opening day. And bar the goals we were not threatened at all and him and Rudiger didn’t give lukaku a sniff against Utd. I’ve seen mata beat players like that his whole career
