The best thing Mourinho has done is to pressure Levy to get these transfers done.
It’s been a great window.
I don’t think it’s been pressure as much as setting realistic, pragmatic targets. The Mendes factor has been huge for us too. We all know Levy loves a deal, and getting Doherty for £12 million, and Vinícius for £3 million on loan are two deals he’d have loved making imo. I also think many clubs have been more willing to do creative deals this year too due to the financial pressures of COVID.
