He got to know them better...and didn't like what he saw.
Plus you'd be an idiot to say the players you currently have are shit upon being appointed manager, even if it's what you think.

Yep,he’s got to know them and doesn’t like some that much.Mourinho Nov 2019: "“The best gift are the players who are here. I don’t need new players. I just need to get to know these ones better."
Summer window 2020 Spurs sign half a new team.

He was always going to say that when he came in to give the players confidence. I think the squad hasn't performed quite as well as he would've hoped but I think he's not stupid and he will have realised that there is a re-build needed.Didn’t José say our squad was great and almost didn’t need new players back in November last year?
Yep, I don't think he's going anywhere. It is kind of working with TN now to be fair.I get the feeling that Jose is doing to Dele the same as he has done to Ndombele.

Hope Dele can come back firing as a Lampard type CM in a 4-3-3 as that saves us having to buy a CM then we just need ST and CB. Would rather Dele found his form from 2-3 seasons ago than we sold him.
and Pogba, Hazard, Martial......I get the feeling that Jose is doing to Dele the same as he has done to Ndombele.
LOL imagine needing good players to win matches
If he is willing to offload Dele Alli, he should be fired. Simple as that.

You're clueless. Simple as that.If he is willing to offload Dele Alli, he should be fired. Simple as that.
FWIW I don't think we will sell Dele I think it's just a kick up the backside by leaving him out the squads but this post is madness simple as thatIf he is willing to offload Dele Alli, he should be fired. Simple as that.
I hope this is right but I also wouldn't be sad to see Dele leave. If he stays and gets a chance in the XI again, it really is last chance saloon for him. Mourinho got a reaction from most of the team as soon as he took over, Dele especially stood out in those initial games but that appears more and more like a short blip in a steady decline from his 2015-18 form.FWIW I don't think we will sell Dele I think it's just a kick up the backside by leaving him out the squads but this post is madness simple as that
Just to add to my last post on this...
Here you can see the UCL Winners, Bayern, most recent match where they have steamrolled a very capable opponents. Look at the goals, most from quick transitions, direct vertical passing where they have condensed the pitch. By all media accounts, Bayern are playing swashbuckling, penetrative attacking attractive football -their style has been likened to a well oiled efficient machine.
Now look at our highlights from the match against Southampton. There is a distinct similarity between what both teams are trying to achieve in terms of style of effectiveness. Its the same quick vertical passing, deep block followed by an opportunistic press. Whilst Bayern are considerably more effective at this style, our team has been described as turgid, boring, relinquishing possession etc. I suspect if we get a few more highscoring victories the narrative may change.
Let's not forget this Bayern team did the same thing to Us and Barca.I get your general point from this post... But Schalke currently as capable opponents?
Since football returned after the corona break, Schalke have played 10 Bundesliga games. In those 10 games: 0 wins, 2 draws, 8 losses; 5 goals scored, 28 conceded. Been horrifically bad.
