He didn't say this because he likes the players (although he might), he said it because of Mind Games. He - an experienced La Liga manager and with a huge winning pedigree - has come out and said that he thinks these four players, two of whom he faced on several occasions in La Liga, are very good buys. The implication then is that all four of them should fit right in and produce the goods week-in week-out. Thus the corollary is that if any of them don't turn out to be very good for us, then it's the manager's fault for ruining good players. And so the Jose wars of words begin...
Yeah, really he thinks they are shit and he is laughing.
If he said he wasn't scared by our signings some would say that means he is. If he praising our signings its mind games.

Possibly. If it helps you at all, the first I heard of Jose talking about our players at all was when I started seeing news stories claiming that Jose was trying the mind games on us. I'm not just making this up for the fun of it, the press are already accusing him of this.

Sorry but I just don`t buy into that at all.He was asked a question and IMO he gave an honest answer.Would he have been accused of playing "mind games" if he had claimed all four were "crap" ??

Personally i feel his comments are genuine no mind games at all more the fact he is being straight forward with who we have running the club and the players brought in and i have no doubt that if he had the chance he wouldn't say no to the new lads brought in neither.
