Mourinho: Jack Wilshere is a bad role model for children

He had his say on the smoking controversy that has engulfed Wilshere this week.
The Gunners midfielder was photographed smoking and behaving outrageously during a holiday in Vegas.
It was the second time in nine months Wilshere has been snapped with a cigarette in his mouth, despite his protestations that he is not a smoker.
And Mourinho says the England midfielder is not fulfillng his status as a role model after his Vegas escapade.
'What football players do, millions and millions are watching, lots of kids are watching,' said the Blues boss.
'I'm not a specialist, obviously, but I don't think if a football player smokes one cigar or cigarette with friends in the summer when he is not training – I don't think it affects his performance.
'What gets affected is that a kid at home says if a top football player can smoke then I can smoke and it is not a problem.
'It is more a social consequence than a physical consequence.
'Would I be angry if it was my player? Being angry is not a solution but I would just explain exactly that, that everything they do or wear is part of the kids' life.
'If they smoke, maybe the kids think they do it a lot of times and they will probably do the same.'
Meanwhile, Mourinho insists Chelsea have finished their summer spending after completing their £16million move for Filipe Luis.
The deal for Atletico Madrid left-back Luis was rubber stamped yesterday, adding to the captures of Fabregas and Diego Costa.
Mourinho said: 'I have to say my club did a fantastic job, not just because of what we bought, but that we did it in almost in record time.
