Rose is such a massive See U Next Tuesday. We need him out ASAP at this point. He is poison.
I think that he's pretty stubborn. He said that he'll see out his contract and I don't think that he'll change his mind. Levy could release him if he's going to be frozen out anyway.

I'd offer him around on a free, if no one takes up the option I'd release him. It's only 18 months of his contract and a happy squad is worth however much that is.

That Sun piece read like anti-Mourinho fan fiction. Ticked off every Mourinho cliche going. How can people be allowed to write unsubstantiated garbage like that?

As for allegedly being bored of his sessions A) they've hardy had more than a handful since he's been there B) the ones that have seem to have shown clear improvements and C) if they want to stop having to focus on basics then they need to stop making such basic errors.

I've seen the press conferences where Mourinho has been 'attacking' Ndombele and I did not get that vibe at all from him, I said it at the time when certain parts of the media were jumping to the Pogba mark II conclusions. Mourinho has really impressed me in his press conferences, I'd be surprised if players were not too, certainly feels way too early for these kind of stories.

The Rose link is pretty telling, along with Kidd's article history.

I just hope for our sake there's no truth in it at all. Would love to see an ITK weigh in on it.

I'm not sure they need to. We can all see what is gong on. No other papers are carrying it but I'm sure they will be quoting the Sun article by the end of the day.

Speaks volumes that we are all in agreement of backing Jose against this article. The validity is thin at best but if it were true then this current squad might have been able to oust one manager but certainly not two.

Personally I can only see one player who might have an issue, I cant see who else would atm.
There are too many players that are actually trying now for there to be a risk of José losing the dressing room already. We still make individual errors and a fair few of the players are seemingly still struggling to go the full 90. But we are seeing way much more will and drive now than during the dying days of the Pochettino era.

Absolutely this - for example, we all know that the Boro game wasn't a classic and plenty of errors were made but even with Sanchez, I could see that he was bothered by the mistakes that occurred from his body language. Also - look at Lamela - his celebration of his goal showed that he cared; lo Celso was blown up from his efforts; Tanganga put in 100% (ok fair enough he's trying to force his way into the side but he's now in at the early stages of Jose's management so he will buy into what Jose wants to do) - I think that there is plenty to be positive about.

Exactly. We need to give José the chance to actually reshape the team. Prune the tree of the bad apples so to speak.

If that means we play Europa League next season then so be it. And I could see José taking us far in that tournament compared to Poch who seemed to mostly blow it off.

The Sun planting little seeds into the players mind and trying to make a tension within the club. Fuck right off

Mourinho coached some of the best players of all time and they never complained about training methods, he has some flaws but that's not one of them. Different assistant manager this time around but I doubt it's much different than usual.

F365 are doing a piece on it in the Mediawatch section to be released today. I'm sure they will have a little fun with it.

So now there trying to run another guy out of town? I really just dislike these players. At what point do these guys look in the mirror and realize they are the problem? Sack the whole lot.
