People keep saying 'will he take us to CL winners'. That's a big jump from where we are. No individual would do that. What he can do, if successful, is bring a new dimension, improve/link up with the talent around him and he part of José's (hopefully) master plan.
More needed this summer and more needed from the current players.

Mourinho is pragmatic, the long goal of the club it to be back challenging for the CL, Mou will take that in steps, he will not sacrifice the short term. Lukaku might help us win the league, but if he deems him not good enough to meet his next goal he will quickly dump him and demand the club get the best available. Never been shy about spending or fighting with his club for more money.
We need much more Rashford, Pogba, Miki, Mata, Martial. It is why I am not convinced by Lukaku, his all round game is flawed, if he or Zlat/Ruud, any dominant scorer hits 30 but inhibits the play of others that total is far less valuable than it looks. Mou is too smart to take him out of his comfort zone though, have to wait to see how it works out.
