I don't mean to dig you out, but do you not think Mourinho has been backed this window? I know there's some debate about PEH and whether he's a DM or not, but I think we can all agree that he's a tackling/interception midfielder so effectively he's a defensive midfielder. Right back was an issue, Doherty has come in and hopefully proves to be an astute purchase.
Left back has been addressed with this Madrid player coming in, and then there's Bale on what are massive wages for our club, but he's a world class player and one of, if not the best, players to have ever put on the shirt.
It just seems to me a little unfair to say he's not being backed this window because we've not also signed three more players on top of this, which actually would be a bit mad to think in a single window we'd be adding seven new first team players... As we know how well that worked out previously.
