So Toby returns to club on Wednesday, trains Thursday and Friday with videos showing him training on Friday and yet Jose is saying he didn't even arrive on time to train with team by Friday?! Surely Jose knows that such an obvious lie would get called out. What's he up to? I don't buy into the whole he's a genius everything he says has a deeper meaning etc but surely he's smarter than saying a player wasn't around for training when he was there 2 days in a row

I just don't see how people come on here and manage to convince themselves that we have somehow managed to scout and recruit the only PL caliber defenders capable of being idiots all of the time. That there is no other problem under the surface and no other manager could do anything different that would be better.

Ally Gold saying tonight that Mourinho’s comments have pissed off some of the squad. Obvs doesn’t say who but I bet it’s not Scarlett and Devine.

Its annoying because what Jose is saying is true but just doesnt feel the right time to go public. After the Zagreb game, the home truths felt right but its getting tiring now.

We bought a player Jose wanted. How and why we bought him does not support him not being backed.


January 2020 we bought Bergwijn for £27m.

We spent around £100m in the summer plus the expensive loan of Bale. We also loaned in Vinicius who Jose reportedly wanted.

If Jose left now I fail to see how he can say he wasn't backed in the transfer market. He very clearly has been.
We bought a player that we are obligated to buy, the fact that Jose likes him is a bonus as we couldn’t have backed out of the deal, that is not a sign of backing the manager whichever way you look at it.

The 100m you quoted is actually including the fee for bergwijm.

But I do agree that he’s backed better than most of us thought possible.

Nope. The £100m was on Lo Celso, Reguillon, Doherty, Hojbjerg and Rodon. Bergwijn was in the list for the season before.

But this is tedious and it turns out you agree my point anyway so lets move on.

If you're going to bring in Mourinho, you give him big big funds.

One thing I will say in his defense is that he has recruited well, bar Doherty at this moment in time.

And we had Ruben Dias & Skrinirar agreed if we wanted either and paid up, but surprise surprise.

We'd run out of money?

you literally just said he didn't show it today

I don't think he did show he was much more talented than the newcastle players. His assist was a nice pass to Kane but it was something that a fair amount of premier league midfielders are capable of as well.

dragon1 on COYS:
Jose repeatedly told Daniel the team would walk cl qualification in nov 19 when they were talking

Daniel then got him everything he wanted last summer with the exception of ings who was 50 million and we could not agree The inter defender we were ten mill apart but he still got 3 players he wanted from a squad he already led them to believe should be top 4



that we got beaten in uefa by that Serbian side and he is now throwing the players under the bus does not look good on his part

AND

Board think Jose post match comments regarding “ same coach different players “ to be very unhelpful and unnecessary



certain things I do not post as I do not want things getting out that may hurt harmony of the team but now the standard are onto it I can confirm Toby despises Jose and that was long before there latest rift

They aren't as good as we think they are. Le Celso seems to be a quicker version of Lamela to be me, NDombele isn't actually very creative and really slows our play down. Reguillon has had some good games but Real Madrid aren't going to buy him back based on this season.
To a neutral eye, this seems correct. Every fan has a tendency to overrate their side's players. I'm not convinced that this is a top 4 squad even if you factor out management completely. (And if it is top 4, it's because of two - three at most - players raising the average level drastically.)

Beginning of the end this really isn't it.
