Blimey. Our top target has signed before pre-season.
Is baldy taking DMT or something?
I look forward to seeing the guy play
Good to see that our bean counter is finally responding to this manager's needs. Levy has done an outstanding job during his tenureship however Mauricio's 5 year plan needs to be backed, 100%, in order for this club to compete at the highest level. Let's hope the other potential signings are confirmed before the pre-season starts.
Well, it's different now isn't it? We've been CL finalists and we've qualified for the CL four years in succession. We have the manager that most young and exciting players anywhere in Europe would target as the one to improve their careers and we have an appropriate stadium for them to play in.Credit where credit is due. Well done, Levy!!
Great signing for the club. Hopefully the first major piece in Poch's rebuild this off-season.

Either Levy could be a rigid character who continues his previous practices and policies when the circumstances and evidence have changed, or he can be the dynamic head of a model enterprise who has delivered a stadium that's the envy of the world and now wants to fill it with a football team that's the envy of the world.
Why would anyone think he's the first? Nothing about his strategy since 2004 has suggested that. It takes time to turn a moribund club into contenders, especially when the age of international oligarchs buying football clubs for a hobby takes you by surprise. Levy and ENIC want to add value to THFC - it's the central motive for their strategy - and having found the right manager and then finished investing in the stadium, the next stage has to be investing in a team that will increase the value of the brand worldwide.
We still aren't going to buy established stars for £200m, because they aren't what Pochettino wants. But there's been a progression, a succession of club-record transfers, from Lamela to Sissoko to Sanchez to Ndombélé, which indicates that Levy is wiling to pay hard-fought market value, especially for young exciting players whom Pochettino reckons he can improve.
It's all just a distinctive style of good management. As with previous major signings, notably Luka Modric and Dimitar Berbatov, we got it done early, before anyone could blow us out of the water. That is what Levy has form for, not 31 August deals.
