Yes, Mourinho at least had the mentality of a winner. Apparently the whole experience demonstrated to Kane that he's not surrounded by people with the same mentality.

Looking at it that way, it's not the manager that's the issue - it's the players and their characters. Conte obviously has a winning mentality like Mourinho had/has so how will the players react?
I guess it's down to the style of man management...

Quite surprised at how many people would swap Bernardo for Joao Felix or Jack Grealish.
Personally I'd be saying not to both those deals because Grealish won't ever be as good as Bernardo, and Felix for all his grace and talent feels like a luxury player with no real defined position.
Bernardo is our Swiss army knife. Can play almost anywhere and be world class.

have only watched Felix half dozen times, what I see is a player who like floats over found his touch is up there with the best his passing could improve a touch but alas we ain’t buying him or swapping him for any of our players..
If that what Levy wants there is a deal to be done some how..

No need to swap, when you can buy if Tottenham refuse to budge under Conte (if he joins). Possibly the best false 9 option we could possibly aim for, should that system continueQuite surprised at how many people would swap Bernardo for Joao Felix or Jack Grealish.

I love Bernardo as a personality, but he's not been world class anywhere but KDB's position really.
He's had some great games as an extra man in the strikerless formation, but he's also had some absolutely anonymous ones. He's going to be immediately benched by Kane/Haaland and then where is he getting back in the side? Ahead of Mahrez/Sterling/Jesus/Torres on the right wing? Not often. Ahead of KDB? Only if he's injured.
I hope he stays, I hope he finds a position, because currently he's drifting, no better than he was when we signed him at 23. I thought when we signed him he could be one of the best players in the world. I remember Pol Ballus saying Pep thought he could be Messi without the goals on your podcast. He's not been anywhere near that unfortunately outside of the winter of 2018.
Having said that Grealish I don't see being much different, except he'd be competing with Gundogan on the left side of midfield and maybe that's more attainable. Felix is a proper false 9 so he would offer something new to the squad, but he's obviously far too expensive so it's a non starter.

I disagree. Think he's shown to be world class when playing wide right of a front three, and playing in both the 8 positions.
