Dele will be his project I reckon. That is his Frank Lampard.In the training video, the person he seemed the closest to was surprisingly Dele.
Can't say I wasn't shocked. Really thought he wouldn't like Dele's style. I guess this is our Guardiola-Robben scenario, when everyone thought they wouldn't get along at Bayern, and Robben became his number one player.Dele will be his project I reckon. That is his Frank Lampard.
I can't see Moura getting too much time under Jose. His lack of defensive work is just not going to jive well.
Maybe Son won't ever have to worry about playing LWB again.....!Lots of baseless assumptions....”Son will hate it”
Errr, maybe Son will love having Dele and Eriksen alongside him as AMs as opposed to behind him in central midfield.
Maybe Son will enjoy having the full backs playing forward passes, and the CBs defending corners.....maybe Son will enjoy not being the default sub off guy....and getting a game with Moura from time to time.....maybe Son will enjoy a trophy
Just a thought
Worried for Winks, Sessegnon and the academy lads
I don't think Moura will suddenly be the main man.
He's no Robben lets be honest. Lamela probably suits Mourinho more.
Agree entirely eith all that, except Sanchez. I have never been convinced about him. It will be interesting to see if Mourinho isn't either.Yes agreed. I think a top class DM is holding us back from playing a real 4-3-3 with Ndombele and Lo Celso sitting just above the DM.
We have a very unbalanced squad. Most players are best playing a central role. Son is the only proven wide player.
Jose's first act will be tightening up the D.
Just hope he builds around Kane, Son, Ndombele, Lo Celso, and Sanchez.
I don't think Winks will survive long unless perhaps Jose develops him into a different type of player. Sissoko is strong and hard working but will Jose put up with his flaws? I'm not convinced Sanchez will be fancied as a regular starter. And I don't think Moura will be kept unless Mourinho really dies go for more traditional wingers.
I don't see Jose liking Moura at all to be honest.
Klopp with TAA and Robertson maybe? Other than that, I genuinely have no clue, maybe Simone Inzaghi at Lazio.Huge myth about poch promoting youth tbh. Winks is the only one that has broke through. Mou gave rashford mctominay to mention 2 regular football. Frank has done it at chelsea because he had to. Every other club what manager just throws kids in

Really? I think the fact they both Speak Portugese might actually endear him more... same as with Dier!I don't see Jose liking Moura at all to be honest.

The one thing Mourinho seems to do in his first month or so at all of his new clubs is to stabilise and solidify... he puts his trust in the experienced players already at the club, (Jan and Toby will play together early on I reckon)
His trust in youth is based on whether they are GOOD enough...
Time will tell if Foyth, Sanchez, Winks and KWP fit into that bracket...
Likewise Tagana and Parrott may be trusted enough to at least feature on the bench more regularly...
The hard work ethic players like Son, Kane will continue to be faves under Mourinho... and even Lamela (who has an aggressive side that bely his STAGGERINGLY good looks!) to an extent will surely continue to be given game time...
And here's 2 other bold predictions...
Eriksen will turn it around under Jose, who will also tell Dele to 'rediscover his nasty streak'...
he hasn't quite been the same player since all that 'Roberta' (flack) he got over that Jacob punch!
