Anyone doubting this signing would give us a lift.......

Look at us. Just look at the state we're in.

If only we'd pushed on when the time was right a couple of years ago and made a high profile signing or two. The whole club has been flat ever since then and IF this comes off, suddenly, the optimism levels are ramped right up and not only that, we start looking forward to watching us play again. If this doesn't excite you then you haven't got a pulse. And about fucking time.

Don't fuck this up. Anything less now and you'll need more than a pair of runnings shoes and a jet pack to get you out of it.

100% , should have got it done last year/season. In line with the new stadium.. that would have shown intent.
Am delighted he’s coming back now, shows board are backing Jose and also the players will be encouraged.
oh, and he’s won the UCL 4 times since leaving.

I'd be fascinated to know whether it was always to plan to go full 'football manager' mode in the last few weeks of the window, or whether the Everton result along with something happening behind the scenes has forced Levy's hand...

Can't believe what I'm reading with our couple ITK snippets this morning!

Well. All those people who were against this, which was a completely understandable POV, now it's possibly happening has your opinion changed? I, for one, am extremely excited

I didn’t think it was ever possible, i hated him for leaving us because I loved him soooo much. Is he past his prime? Tbh I don’t really care at this moment in time. A past his prime bale is still better than 95% of other players.

We already know the two obvious things since last night. Expect more excitement to come out between now and this week ?? Too much to take in right now. But we have been starved, and now maybe the feast. The German giant of 6ft 6. Sorry his name slips me, but initials of ‘W is true talk from the media.
