I do worry for Lo Celso and Ndombele Sessegnon now Mourinho's in charge , we'll wait and see.

I don’t, he doesn’t know them yet like he knows the rest of the Spurs squad but if they have the right attitude and ability they will rise. My only concern is with more unproven youth players like Parrott.

From what I am hearing, Jose really likes him. But he wants everybody to understand his style of play etc. And he cannot take too many risks at present. I am very confident he will get his minutes. When he does, he has to make the most of it.

fans sometimes just panic it’s the way they are, I am sure someone of Mourinho’s ability will give players the right chance.

No a chance we pull the plug on the GLC deal. We put 16 mill up front and it was always going to be made permanent. The benefit of this deal was to Betis to avoid paying a large sell on fee that would be owed to PSG.

Maybe Poch did want GLC but I’m sure Jose does too. He’s a fantastic player, young and has only really settled in to the squad. He’ll no doubt get some game time over the coming weeks.
What if Jose wants Bruno Fernandes instead? Lo Celso would be buried further down the lineup. Can't see this deal being made permanent if Mourinho prefers other options.

Im not being funny but anybody can see that n dombele and lo celso are top players and there is zero chance this goes unnoticed by jose and sacramento. Jose wanted instant results so went for the familar look with players who know eachother.
Bournmouth will be much more of a game where id expect to see at least one of them to start in. They will both be nailed on started aoon enough id have thought as they are the 2 cm's who you would say have the calibre to mix it with the best out there.

I just don't get why we need him. Would rather a wing forward if we were looking further up the pitch. Celso is a better player with massive potential.

I'd rather we spend big on a better DM than we currently have. I don't really see where Fernandes fits in either, even if Eriksen is off.

If CE is going, then makes sense. That is if it was to happen
But we will still have Celso and Dele who both play best as a 10. Yes Gio can play at CM and WF but he's best at 10. And Jose has already said that Dele needs to play as a SS behind Kane. We also have Lamela as a third option if really needed. I just think that if we really want to look at an attacking player, which really shouldn't be priority over a DM, then if anything it should be a rotation option for Son/Lucas.

I understand what you are saying. But imho, we need different solutions, rather than pegging players that can only operate in one specific role. Jose loves what I call ‘offensive, defensive, creative midfielders’. GLC who I rate, has all the the attributes you mention. BF is a very interesting one, because he is high energy, quick, both footed, clinical. And very good dead ball specialist. And I also think if you rest any one of the three behind Kane, he can more than do that. GLC can play off a mobile defensive midfielder.
