Jesé (top prospect at Real Madrid): "Mourinho is a man who surrounds himself with players that have already made it. The academy coach is Toril"
Mourinho has played a few kids this year like Morata but it looks like it was pressure from above in response to severe criticism about their youth policy.
Although i rate him as the best manager in Europe this is what would niggle me about him coming here.
He'd be expected to filter players through the system, something which would be new to him and i think would be out of his comfort zone.
The academy as it stands is not good enough, hence the huge investment and it will be a few years yet before we can expect the sort of talent the investment demands.
In the meantime, get the man in and let him weave his magic.
Couldn't give a rats arse about a dynasty right now, 3-4 years of him dragging us kicking and screaming into the European elite will do for me and when the academy is delivering, Ferran and Txiki can get their coach in and the Barca ethos can start then. ;-)
Scouting networks have already been set up, the next Messi could be with us as early as next year.
Things are going to start moving at a rate of knots soon and it's vital the right skipper is in charge of the ship.
