Do we actually think the club are going to give Mourinho an open wallet for new players as they did LvG or do you think they will be a bit tighter with funds and make him try and get the best out of what he's got with maybe just 2 new signings?

Ray,
LVG didn't have an open wallet, he will have been working to a budget, that is how businesses work. I imagine Mourinho will be backed in the transfer market.

The club have to back him to the hilt; and I think they will.
24 May 2016 12:33:52
The squad needs some serious work. They'll back him, they'll give him whatever he wants to get the club back challenging. If they don't all those commercial contracts will start to disappear and devalue.

We can't afford to let other teams get ahead of ourselves, which is already happening.
2xcbs a RW DM and a forward would be really good. Although I think DDG will unfortunately end up at RM.

I think one Cb is on the cards for sure, would love to see varrane come in. I also think Zlatan is a no brainer. A top right winger and a creative midfielder I reckon will have us challenging.
If DDG really does go, i hope we skin Madrid for a ton of money but something tells me he is staying.

I'm with you on that X Files. Varane and Zlatan are definitely doable. Also I am backing kroos, just a hunch. All depends on Madrid transfer, who they can sign etc.
It will be interesting to see how Mourinho will handle the DDG situation because by all accounts, he was definitely on the way out.
A winger, I really don't know. Mahrez would be my no.1 choice. He seems to have it all, however I suspect Mourinho will have all his own targets.

I hope they have earmarked 60- 70 mill for CBs . one big name maybe Varane and then someone like Dragovic / Garay -.

He will have at least £200m at his disposal.
24 May 2016 15:39:53
We should go all out to bring in Varane and Pogba - Woody get that cheque book out now!

He wanted Stones, Pogba and Griezmann last summer at Chelsea, I can see him sticking with those targets plus potentially 2-3 more. Mourinho won't mess about wanting to have a look at players, he'll already know who he's keeping and who's going.
