“I know the players City have bought and they’re players without surprises — they’re more than ready,” said Mourinho, quoted in the Daily Mirror. “If you see their ages, their maturity, they’re in the perfect time of their career to go to England.
“They are players at the top of their careers who don’t need to adapt — experienced but still young, so I think they have bought very, very well.
“So of course people should be expecting more of them, with their experience, than my young team.”
Mourinho added: “Young players need to learn, they need time to get to the top. But Navas and Negredo are to world champions, two European champions, Jovetic has been one of the best in Serie A for more than two years and Fernandinho has lots of experience. They bought very well.
“That doesn’t surprise me, because they have the money to buy but also the knowledge. They have people in the club who know a lot about football. — Sky Sports.
