You see, I don't think Mourinho is stupid, he just has this power complex, a chip on his shoulder (which is why he constantly reminds everyone of the titles and cups he's won, when everyone knows anyway) apparently it might be a small man thing? he picks on people in the group who he thinks may have influence, or are possibly a bit arrogant, or whatever and brings them down because of his position - to show 'who is boss' if you like.....sometimes that's not a bad thing, especially if said individual is disruptive, maybe Dele is, I dion't know, but Mourinho keeps saying he's working hard and training well and being professional. So if all that is true then give the lad a game, you've proved your point, you're the big man Mourinho, show some class and say 'well done' for working hard like N'Dombele, he's the reward.....It's not rocket science. If he doesn't get a tune out of Dele then fine, but put him in the band, he saved your bacon on countless occasions last season.
