Mourinho, about to bid £40m for 20 year old John Stones, speaking last year about why he didn't pay £30m for 19 year old Luke Shaw:
Quote:
"If we pay to a 19-year-old boy what we were being asked for, to sign Luke Shaw, we are dead," said Mourinho.
"We would have killed our stability with financial fair play and killed the stability in our dressing room, because when you pay that much to a 19-year-old kid - a good player, fantastic player - but when you pay that amount of money, the next day, we would have had players knocking on our door.
