Thats again confirms levy is out of his depth at our club and taken us so far. His last throw of dice is all this revenue from nfl, concerts. If that dont work he has to pass the baton to a richer owner. Its all a process with him.
Don’t waste your time, mate
why is it always 10m difference same with dybala same with grealish, its like it always happens to us, just fucking pay it
We 100% are bottling it as it stands - and the worst shitters are still at the club which is worrying
Major litmus test next 2 weeks
Because we’re run by a clueless greedy cunt who doesn’t understand what opportunity cost means
honestly the 10 mill difference signings we could of made if we paid the sum we wouldnt be here now haha
Levy acolytes will spin this as a positive as always.
I see what you did there Mr Star Wars
This is where mitchell left us a few years back. Offering targets after hard scouting but got rebuffed by levy. In the end mitchell walked. Did say a few weeks back patrici might get pissed off with levy as time goes on. Champagne tastes, beer money.
Would you look at that, so when a player would rather lie down and practise pissing in his own mouth than join us (Kounde) we'll have no problem agreeing a deal with the club, yet when a player wants to join we'll piss around for eeks offering €10m less than his club wants...
We've really mastered the art of this pretending we're trying to sign quality players business...

My dad used to do a great joke about swans in the pub using shredded tissue as a prop for the gag. Always got a big laugh.
Not defending Levy, but its easy enough to say "just pay it" on any single deal in a vacuum. But everything has a knockon. If you pay over one 1 or 2 transfers here and there, it costs you a full player elsewhere. Or maybe you don't have the wage budget to extend a player like Kane or Son's contract and keep them a bit longer, so signing player X (who is no guarantee to pan out) costs you an important established piece.
Levy, of course, has definitely fucked up our transfer strategy. But people really dumb things down quite often in analysis. Its a pretty complex business.
Give yourself and us a day off.
I used to take that as a badge of honor, but lately? Fuck that.
Have you seen the quality of keeping in Scotland? I reckon I could do better than most of them.
This is not materially different from the reports the last few days. But at least we know it's still the same situation as before.
Some combination of €40-45m + €5-10m in bonuses seems to be possible, and reports are that Atalanta were willing to accept longer payment terms, which is probably a big driver.
