Well regardless of Pep they still weren't Jose players. We have been buying players for years without any real future plans, that's what happens when you change manager every season, so now he is stuck with a lot of players and has to work with what he has. Mata has worked a lot harder out of possession which Mourinho pretty much said he was not doing. I don't know what he wants out of KDB but I am sure it's something he can work on and improve. Personally I don't see Lukaku coming back long term, same goes for most of our players on loan apart from Courtois We shall see...
