No two ways about it, his summer’s transfer window has been an unprecedented success. Sure, we’ve still got Danny Rose clinging on by his fingertips which was always to be expected, in truth, but José Mourinho has sparked life into the transfer machinations of Tottenham. This was no mean feat, against a backdrop of both debt, and disease, not to mention the erstwhile despotic nature of ENIC when it came to player acquisition.
A source close to the club assures me that Gedson Fernandes is a player that José was particularly keen to move on, alas Steve Hitchen was unable to find anyone remotely keen to involve themselves with the boy. Yes, he’s young and all that jazz, but unlike Mourinho’s bery happy predecessor, under José the sole focus is now upon ensuring the squad is composed of his boys, boys he can completely rely upon.
Do not expect too much of the Benfica boy, or berate him for it. This isn’t the right fit for him. that’s all.
