Not forgetting that the squad he's walking into is pretty impressive too - Got some great defensive players which he could get the best out of & I think they'll suit his system a lot better than United did. Harry Kane also seems like a perfect Mourinho centre forward when you look at how the likes of Drogba & Milito played under him in previous years. Big issue for him though is the players who are out of contract in the summer (Erikssen, Alderwiereld & Vertongen) Good part of his spine could leave for zilch in a few months if he doesn't manage to nail them down to deals
I think he is going to bin all those players off immediately who are running down their contracts. Mourinho isn’t one to have players who aren’t committed to his cause. Think Danny Rose will soon be reconsidering his plans of running his contract down.
Agree on Harry Kane. Besides all the hassle that comes with Mourinho, I do think this is the most interesting appointment we have seen in a while and it is a big opportunity for him to do something new. His precious experience is managing the high end clubs for short periods of time with massive dosh.
This will be a real test of his management skills it seems. Like I say, will be interesting to watch and I think respect for taking it on (although at 15mill a year, what is there to think about).
