you are the one not getting. since Tottenham are using ridiculous amount to keep their average players then other can keep their world class by setting unreachable amount on the player.
this thing is about the player majorly if he wants to leave he will force it.

JayKayMaybachz:
Ben Wire: Jose Mourinho. The stats never lie. Alex Ferguson's longevity was rooted in his continual ability to renew his style and always evolve; Mourinho needs to learn this.

Madrid team are world-class, even that of Barcelona. I said this because apart from having "3-4 of world-class players" (let's go with your benchmark), they also have GENERALLY TOP/GOOD PLAYERS. It's highly improbable to see a team populated with world-class players all through. What you're going to get are 3-4 world-class and more top players. That's where I think you got it wrong (thinking just 3-4 world-class players ONLY are enough to make a team world-class)

Madrid has world-class players but the first-eleven is filled with top players. How can you not think a team that has/had Ororo, Bale, Kroos, Modric, Varane, Ramos, Isco, Marcelo is not world-class. These are top players.

But United are filled with deadwoods like Young, Shaw, Rojo, Jones, Mctominay etc. If we had a good and sensible coach first and foremost, with a team that's generally good in most positions alongside 3-4 world-class players, we'd be a top team like Madrid and Co.

So Manchester United is about supporting the manager and not the players? Why does this always happen to Mourinho everywhere he goes? There will always be a divide, some for the players and the others for Mourinho. This has played itself severally and I'm beginning to question the sanity of some guys here if they can't see the pattern

slimghost:


We heard the exact BS during his last spell with Chelsea. The man is the most divisive manager I have ever seen and needs to leave my darling team ASAP.

sinizia:


In Cristiano's case, he wanted to leave and would never have signed a new contract with us. It's either we let him leave for a world record fee like we did, or risk seeing leave for free or for lesser amount if he ran down his contract. The money for Ororo then is 300m you're talking of now. Only a very rich club could afford him.
Someone like Kane has not submitted transfer request like Coutinho, when he does, Tottenham would be forced to sell him or lose him for peanuts.

Plus you're forgetting something important, the tradition of upping the buy-out clause of players to figures like 700m, 1billion, etc., was not existing in those days. Shît has changed.

Get off Jose Mourinho's back. All the negative feedback going on and on. Notice none of the players being "up for sale" are not saying anything, just agents stirring up trouble. If Marcos Rojo is worth £30m then sell him now. Nice to see Luke Shaw at the correct weight for a full back and not a prop forward. As usual all the transfer talk and everyone has an opinion which normally centres on Manchester United, get your own house in order first.

So who are the world class players in Barcelona? I am sure you'd say Messi, Suarez (He is fat declining), Coutinho, Pique (Also declining), Umtiti Busquet, Rakitic...If we look at Spurs, we'd list Alderweireld, Vertoghen (If Pique at this point and Umtiti are world class then he is too), Dembele (If you consider Rakitic world class), Kane, Erikson...That's like 7 for Barca and 5 for Spurs...
At Madrid, you have Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro, Bale etc. That's like seven, the others are top performers...
At City, you have Aguero, KDB, D.Silva, Gundogan, Fernandinho that's five players but I'm sure a lot of folks will look at City and refer to them as a world class team...

Spurs might not have smae number of world class players in their ranks but they have other top performers like Trippier, Lloris, Son, Rose etc...

eph12:

Like seriously. How many times SAF have had to make changes to be able to get something out of the team he has.

JayKayMaybachz:
There's some element of fact in that.. Some of our players re lazy. We blame Mou we should also blame em players too

sinizia:
Patricmuf, City is way more better than us. They fit the criteria of a world-class team for me. They have one of the best coaches around who's not archaic like Mourinho, and the team has GENERALLY GOOD players with a sprinkle of world-class players like Silva, Aguero and KDB.

Leyqute:
Interesting read. Other top teams are in no better condition than Utd, except Liverpool. Do you hear Poch and others complaining?

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45017413

Is Mourinho laying the ground for a long exit from Man Utd with his recent jamtalks?

JayKayMaybachz:
SAF WAS A MANAGER. HE UNDERSTOOD THE GAME MORE THAN MOU

patrickmuf:
Yes they are better than us at the moment but you take a second look at our players and realize most of them are not playing to their potential, maybe it's the system or perhaps they're not motivated enough to give their all, an excuse I am beginning to question considering how much they are paid...I think with the right set up, Pogba, Sanchez, Martial and the likes can offer more...

elampiro:
A rough look at EPL history shows me that it looks like Ferguson was the highest spender in his early days at United. Not very sure though.

Wenger was the highest spender in EPL for his first few years at Arsenal.

Mourinho was the highest spender in while at Chelsea.

Guardiola is the highest spender now despite inheriting a team that finished in UCL semi final.

He who spends most is likely to rule.
