Is this actually happening? F*ck me! I've refused to entertain the mere thought due to the inevitable heartbreak. .

You have to hand it to a Levy...

Ndombele
Lo Celso
Sessegnon
Clarke
Højbjerg
Doherty
Hart
Seguilon
Bale

... if he brings in all of those in just over 12 months with no significant outgoings, that is a serious sign of intent.

The summer of the magnificent seven we had sold Bale and it was consolation spending. This is something else altogether. We might even see A&C at the next BSoDL picnic... ?

It also struck my mind that in 2017 Mourinho signed a 35 year old Zlatan Ibrahimovic. That worked out quite well considering United won the EL and finished 2 second in the league.

Bale won't be a guarantee for success. But if you (...just like me a few days ago) are sceptical wether Bale is good enough, will have an impact etc. Well, having the world class / match winning characters, even when they are "older", can lift a whole team. I'd say Ibra at United was a good example.
