As with Jose no-one will deny he is talented however I have a feeling the lure of all this newly aquired (and bought) talent, plus an almost 'open-chequebook' mentality probably played a big part in his deciding to take the job.

And to a degree I will concur with that - however surely anyone can see that comparing where the money came from with United and Chelsea is unfair?
We have bought our fair share of duds and for alot of money too.

Bellion £2 m
Djemba - Djemba
Kleberson - £ 6.5 m
Veron £ 28
Forlan - £8 - although I think he could have worked out if we kept him

Even Saha at 12 isn't really a success.

Sure it isn't the same comparing our money to Chelsea but I can also see why fans of Charlon and West Ham or others don't care at all where our money comes from either
