It's a lot easier when you have multiple targets to choose from and they are both gettable and affordable.
I have to say I'm happily surprised how JM has adapted to the budget and situation. No fuss, just straight in with his targets.
Mourinho kind of showed this pragmatism in his Inter role. While he got some of his wishes in transfer market, he settled on some not so house hold names and eventually helped Inter win European trophy after decades.
Jose is more pragmatic than most managers - but media & fans just paint him with same brush as a money-manager than a man-manager. IMO, I can see the hunger in Jose and wanting to prove his doubters wrong again.
