Diego, how can you say that Eto, Lucio, sneider, Motta and Milito weren't huge signings in ONE transfer window. Added to an already very strong squad. How can you possibly say that.
Because they weren't. Eto'o came as a part of the Ibrahimovic deal. It also gave Inter a LOT of money. Sneijder was cheaper than Henderson. Lucio was really cheap for his quality (transfer listed at Bayern and over 30 years old). Motta was relatively cheap as well (around 10M euros, I believe) and Milito was the only more expensive signing, still brought for less than what Barça paid for Ibra though.
Let me put it as simple as I can, so maybe you can understand: you keep saying it's all about the MONEY. Yet his net spend at Inter was relatively LOW. Also, those were HIS signings. If HE made GOOD signings, then it works in his favour, not against him in my judgement. It's that obvious.
Tell me have you ever seen five players of that calibre go to one club in one transfer window?
I said many times before already... Eto'o was a part exchange deal, Lucio and Sneijder were UNWANTED at their respective clubs (it's easy to talk about their "calibre" now, after they have succeded). Motta is a good player but not that high calibre. Milito was near his 30's playing for Genoa, a lot of clubs could have got him, but it was Mourinho who spotted the chance and made him a UCL hero.
Mourinho never has to sell, he makes five huge transfers in one window and adds them to team that already brim with talent, constructs teams to completely outgun the opposition, Blocks up the midfield and defence and lobs it over the top for Drogba, Robben, Eto, Ronaldo to run onto, has been in charge of the biggest squads in history... oh yeah he won a few.
Seriously mate, you're entitled to your opinion, I'm alright with it. JUST USE LOGIC, please. You say he never has to sell, then mentions Eto'o, who was actually acquired by selling a player. Stop contradicting yourself.
Not to mention you are now
completely ignoring that he has won the UEFA Champions League with Porto.
