I think this is always the question over Jose. If he has a team full of top players he can succeed. Can he do that with a team like Spurs? It's pretty irrelevant to mention 4 world class defenders because we don't have 1 and wont spend money to get 4. He absolutely needs better defenders because this has to be the worst defence he's ever managed. It's more a question of whether we're a club that can provide those players for a manager like Jose. Otherwise we might be best off with a manager like Poch who will overachieve with lesser players.Lets imagine for a moment we replace our back 4 with "world class defenders".. Pick any 4 you like. Do you think they would regress under Mourinho?
I would love Jose in this window to rebuild our defence. However last summer we refused to push the boat out for Skriniar so I can't see anything different this time.
