I didn't say it doesn't matter I said

"I get you but Mourinho is and for me that's what matters"

It doesn't change what I think, what Mourinho wants to do with us they are clearly good enough, why would a person on a forum change my opinion of that? They clearly are

You said it wouldn't make sense to back him as in give him support if he has made multiple mistakes which he hasn't for me, not enough to not back him

Maybe I missed understood what you were saying then.

When I read I get you but Mourinho is and for that's what matters" I took it to mean that it doesn't matter if they are good enough or not Mourinho thinks they are good enough and that is all that matters.

To me that says that only what Mourinho thinks is what matters, not what you or I or anyone else. If you agree with him that is good enough then fine I understand that. What I took it to mean that you ignored your views on it and supported it soley because Mourinho thinks its good enough.
 
I don't think Levy moves him and I think there is zero chance we buy Skriniar outright even though it would be a great move to help us compete at the levels we supposedly want to be at.

A swap deal would be a very elegant escape route from the potential of taking a big fat loss on Ndombele.

I'm just not sure whether having four prominent senior CB's and a couple of ancillary ones besides really makes sense.

I think it makes sense, but my concern is Levy sees Skriniar's value at say 45-50 million and wants to get the 60 million back from what he paid so does his usual screw around after the swap is agreed demanding 10 million from Inter to make up the difference.

Selling Dier would make a ton of sense, especially after he could get a bump having made the England squad but of course we can't do that as he is one of the golden children and will be here giving away goals and penalties until he decides he has stolen enough money from the club and retires.
 
There'd also be a gaping hole at CM unless Sangare comes in.

That is assuming that hole isn't there already if Ndombele doesn't want to play here and/or Jose doesn't want him.

I think a big part of moving on from Ndombele would be the club acknowledging that it isn't going to work out. If they have full confidence in him starting for us all season then I think there is zero chance the swap happens.

But yes that swap and Levy's cheapness makes a real terrifying prospect of Winks/Sissoko seeing a lot of time in our MF in PL games.
