Surely Mourinho watched quite a few hours worth of tapes of him and took on board advice from both scouts and other sources? I know tapes don’t tell you as much as actually seeing someone play but I struggle to believe he spent that much on someone he effectively had never seen play.
No, he relied on what a scout told him. Never saw one minute of him play live or recorded.franki68 said:
Guys why are we not discussing how bad the balls are ? Far too light for city apparently.
Peps had a fergy grey kit moment.
Lingard loved it! Peps had a fergy grey kit moment.
Agreed - Pep's lost it there...pro footballers should be able to play with any ball right? Didn't complain about the ball when they won in the third round did he?!

The kid looks alright here....give him time. People are losing their minds over a few mistakes. Maybe the job is too big for him, I haven't a scooby do. He's far better than any one on here that's for sure!

He reminds me of myself. And I am 34, 85kg and never play football anymore. He looks bloody terrible even in his "highlights".The kid looks alright here....give him time.

I am starting to suspect some kind of fraud.

He played in Portugal where Jose claims he is still very well connected and knows what is going on,so there is no valid excuse for signing this player.
In fairness he is the first player Jose has bought who does not improve on what we had.
Would you swap him for Lovren?In fairness he is the first player Jose has bought who does not improve on what we had.

I'm not sure what paints Jose in a better light? That he scouted and approved his signing and he's turned out to be rubbish, or he let one slip through the net and trusted his scouts and he's turned out to be rubbish...
All managers get it wrong from time to time. What about the money "they who shall not be named" recently spent on Sissoko? He was lauded as the finished article after the Euro championships...At least VL is young and time on his side, let's see.
