"only 9 points off the top"

And it's almost November

Like your optimism though

So exactly who hasn’t been 100% a Jose buy?

Let's see what happens with the next few buys, I think the next few buys will be 100% Jose buys.

all of the players are 100% Jose buys, what the hell does that even mean?

and Mourinho has shown absolutely nothing to warrant more money being provided to him for transfers. It's his third season and we're still no where near challenging for the league or Europe. He's basically failed on a number of fronts, enough of these stupid excuses.

To be fair, none of the players you’ve bought have been uncovered by your scouts, they’ve all been established players.

Imagine not only giving Mourinho more time but then also handing him £100m to spend.

Do you not think that it's strange that his buys have been spot on everywhere else but here?

I would not give Jose another penny, he has been given more than enough. The fact he is still in a job is in itself a joke IMO

Not exactly true.

I honestly can’t believe that anyone still places any trust in the man.

The scouting net work when he was at Chelsea was superb, signing KDB & Salah and he totally facked up.

On paper, most all of his signings have been good. Why it's not working out is a combo of many things. The good news is that they are mainly players that most managers should be able to work with, imho.

If he is not to be sacked though, then we have to keep investing.

I am 99% certain Pogba was not a Jose but can't be sure about the lesser-known players of which I'm referring to.

Jose's main gripe is with the defence so I can only assume Bailly and Lindelof were not handpicked by Jose.

I’m sorry, I just don’t see him having players forced on him.

I'm not saying that's what's happened at all. What I'm saying is, he is (like most managers) presented with options to look at and leans on insight from scouts.

Nonsense. He didn't have to play Pogba when we bought him did he? Unless you believe Jose is being told who has to play which is an absolute load of bollox IMO

Who then? I can’t think of any in your first team that weren’t already known about.

The problem is all the players José has bought are over 30 so will be of no use to our next manager.
