I did miss this "Fuck off Mourinho" chanting, and my Spurs supporting father is schocked so all in all I am happy

I'll get destroyed for this but..................I reckon he's not a bad CB but, a bit like Phil Babb who played for us in the 90's, he hasn't got the mental strength to play for a very high profile team. He had a decent first season for United but as soon as he made a few mistakes he seemed to go to pieces and has never recovered his composure. 2 other United CB's of yesteryear Ferdinand and Pallister both had tough starts to their United careers but (unfortunately) had the strength of character to come back from it and prosper.
I think Jones would do a decent job for West Ham, Newcastle, Everton etc and if they could get him for £20m it would be worth the risk..............actually fuck that, £10m maximum because he's made of glass.
Apparently, part of his pitch to Levy was that it was one of the best squads in the league and didn't need many new players. That'd appeal to Levy, but doesn't sounds like Mourinho at all.
Sounds like something I could lie about if there was a 4x15M£ incentive in front of me.
#MeToo mate, I would maybe think about sucking levy off, I mean how bad could it be, ... 15M , one blow....yeah worth it.
Would you do it for £1
I might be completely wrong (probably will be) but think he'll do alright.
As Rurik said, this Spurs team seem a pretty decent fit for him on paper.
The biggest issue they have is the three players out of contract in the summer. It'll be interesting to see whether the arrival of Mourinho will keep them at the club.

I think they were saying that already ....6 months ago 😉
As for the players that want to leave, Im not sure how having a new manaergial face will fix that alone?
Dear Mr Levy,
I told you through my agent that I wasn't happy staying at Spurs because I feel I should be receiving more in wages and told you I planned to see out my contract and leave the club. But now I see you've gone and hired The Special One, I am so wrapped up in joy that I have decided to sacrifice my need for an extra 50 pounds a week and stay.
Many Thanks, Toby
But Jose is so nice and pleasant and uncontroversial. He gets along with everyone, why would anyone want to leave now they have the especially nice one?
NoWould you do it for £1
Er..they were CL finalists last season. I think he has gone to a club which has some very good players and he knows it.
Are we starting the sweep now for when whatever “cheerful demeanour” he starts off with slips, he starts blaming the players and throwing them under the bus while reminding everyone that it couldn’t possible be his fault and reminds everyone how many trophies he’s won (with teams with unlimited transfer budgets).
Feb - when he’s not been able to sign anyone, fucked of Dele Ali because he doesn’t track back enough and is preparing the ground work for a miserable, moany pre-season.

"Especially nice one" lol
Deep down Spurs fans arent happy with having Mourinho at their club...I'd be cringing if he was at Liverpool. With Klopp you know he will never manage an English club when he decides to leave, you just know he won't...but with Mourinho he is there for hire, with his template soundbites that he adapts for every situation. There were rumours he might have been Liverpool manager but Im glad we missed out on him, despite his winning record.
I bet Amazon Prime are happy, they know their prime subscription uptake will increase when the Spurs documentary is released.
Mourinho is also targeting Sporting Lisbon and Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes, 25, as well as Benfica's Portuguese centre-back Ruben Dias, 22, and Manchester United's Serbian midfielder Nemanja Matic, 31. (Independent)
Has he not wasted 40 million on Matic one too many times already?
It would be my first move, he's worth far money in transfer value than he is in value to their team. He's exactly the kind of striker Mourinho likes though, so maybe he'll bring the best out of him.
Edit, by best I mean keep up his stunning scoring record, whilst not being a detriment to the team, as he clearly is at Spurs (see the CL final).
In fact the more I think about it, the more I think his style could be devastatingly good with Kane up front. His more recently systems are reliant on a deadly clincal finisher, and in that regard Kane is the best in the world.
What?
They had been playing much better as a team with Son and Moura up front. Just look at the tail end of last season.
Kane wasn't fit, which may have been one of the reasons.
Maybe, but I don't think Kane fits in with the style Spurs wanted to play last season, whenever Kane was injured and Son deputised they looked like a better team. I think it was caused by a combination of a drop in form of Ali, and the Moura signing, but they weren't the same. Considering they could fetch £150million+ for Kane, I think it would be better to cash in and invest on players better suited for that system, just like we did with Coutinho.
However Mourinho won't play that system, so it's kinda a moot point, he'll probably build around Kane again and bring the best out of him, he's perfect for Mourinho.
That was post was a twitter post from dele Ali tearing Jose a new one on twitter in 2012 😀
So now it is Jose's turn to tear Al(l)i(?) a new one.
Kane is actually very capable of playing deeper, or wider, because he's good at retaining possession, has good vision and a very decent pass and cross. The problem is that it often seems like he's doing it off his own back, rather than it being a tactic, or something they've worked on with the coaches, because he ends up being in exactly the same spaces as the likes of Son, Lamela and Dele, and they don't move, so they're all on top of each-other and nobody is taking Kane's place in the box.
It's very odd.
It's also usually a thing players do as they get older and lose pace. Midfielders start sitting deeper and strikers start "dropping" more. Kane's never been super-quick, but maybe he's a bit less mobile due to the injuries etc?
