Mourinho on summer signings. Sounds less positive for TN than for GLC! But I think with Tanguy it's a case of tough love and sort yourself out.
"The players that come - Giovani, Sessegnon, Ndombele - you see the young boy is in a process of developing and we are giving him time to do that," he said.
"Giovani comes from completely different football cultures. Played in Spain, Argentina, played in Spain, played in France, now he comes again. You can feel that he is coming.
"Ndombele not even coming. Injured and with lots of problems, so you cannot compare what was four years ago in the cycle of four years to what it is now. So we have to work."
I think with Ndombele I think there is also a case of frustration at his niggling injuries. He wants him playing and settling that way. I don't think it is the dig certain people in the media are making it out to be.
Good to hear him speak of Lo Celso more positively, I think his very disappointing performance in his start vs Bayern put up a red flag with Mourinho, similar to Foyth at Norwich. Hopefully he starts tonight and plays well.
