Mourinhos signings have been a success. I’m out in the pub but from the top of my head
Ibra
Bailly
Pogba
Lindelof
Sanchez
Lukaku
Fred
Dalot
Matic
2 can’t be judged. 1 has been here 6 months and can’t be judged yet. You could argue a failure in Lindelof. The rest a success.
A better strike rate than Moyes And LVG and if you look at it objectively probably Fergie who signed many duds too.
I’m not sure if you mean Lukaku scored more goals for Everton in 3 seasons that he has for us in 1 or you’re just incorrect. This year was Lukaku’s highest goals scored of his career.
Pogba has been criticised but I think we all I agree that’s unfairly and a bandwagon started by Souness.
Bailly is by far our best defender.

Fans don't want Mourinho out because he went a season without a trophy.
Very harsh. Granted his first touch isn’t always on point but it’s not like he loses it every time. He has good hold up play and gives us a physical presence which we have lacked.And lukaku, he is just a target man, he has no first touch or vision
Bit harsh on Lindelof top say he is a miss after 1 season. I'd be moving him to the Jury's Out list.
Bailly is being criticized and he is our best CB which says it all really and reflects why our style was so negative
Lindeloff i think us being written off prematurely, for me he is our best CB and I hope he proves it this year.
This. He has a club record signing forward, a British record CM and an experienced wide forward in Sanchez coupled with a league winner in Matic. If Jose was more positive he'd get more from this side.It won't be entirely his fault but to absolve him of blame is wrong. As the manager he needs to get the most out of the players he has and he's failed to do that plain and simple. I'm absolutely sure other managers would have been able to get more out of the players he has, certainly the attacking managers.

Yeah true - we have solid top 3 team and potential CL quarter finalists, if only we played to our strengths! We have average CBs but we play a system that exposes them to constant attacks. When we hit a brick wall during the season we don't utilize youth but would rather play experienced players out of position resulting in an uncoordinated team.Absolutely... I'm sorry but Rashford Martial, Mata and others are better players than they've shown in this system under Jose.
And they still concede whilst you'd have stiffled your own attack. Look at the Sevilla home game or the FA Cup final, concede shit goals whilst playing defensively all the same ends up costing you major honors.We play a system to suit our defence. We play deeper because Jose doesn't trust our CB's and our full backs can't get up and down the wings for 90 minutes.

Not true. Mourinho is a negative minded manager who sets up his teams to defend in deep positions and looks to play counter attacking football. He will set up his team in the same manner regardless of personnel. He’s a back foot manager.
Simply incorrect. His Real Madrid side set the record for goals scored in a La Liga season. He may be defensive in big games but there certainly more than that.
His Chelsea side with Essien Lampard Ballack Duff Robbin Drogba was certainly an attacking and exciting side to watch. Taught us lessons a few times.
