I'd hang my hat on the fact that he doesn't give one shit what the look is.
Memories are short as are careers. Wages and appearances go hand in hand, so I'm guessing he wants all of the above.
I'm guessing we've been turned over by the Boche both in this deal and the riddance of Dier.
Du dreckiges Schwein
Indeed.
We managed to swoop for….Sissoko.
First player that we made a swoop for was Alderweireld.
He had even been on Soton on loan (!), but we stepped in and brought his rights from Atletico that owned his rights.
But yea, way more of lost players in such fashion than won players.
Get players who want us and to play for ange. It's why we need to support werner turned down man u for us in 2 mins I love the guy already
Tbh I've never watched a Bundesliga match on tv. Really disappointed with Dortmund as well when we played them in champions league. Weakish league.
Chelsea needed werner tonight 
yes. bids from us and BM accepted. Up to the player
I don’t really think so.
What difference does it make if we agreed last Saturday, yesterday or tomorrow?
The agent is simply using us to smoke out the required fee and Bayern will just match it.
Both Diaz and Grealish we took too long.
Diaz's father said we missed out because we 'hesitated':
Luis Diaz's father explains why he signed for Liverpool over Tottenham
Luis Diaz was on Tottenham's transfer radar last month before Liverpool swooped in and secured the winger's signature with his father opening up on his decision
Bundesliga is probably the shittest league among the top ones, you barely has competitions and most of the teams sucks completely.
It makes a lot of difference, the deal is done early and other clubs don't get a chance to hijack.
Nice long journey home for chelsea fans.
Grealish we *did* fuck up, because Levy was being his usual arrogant bellend self and thought he could steal their prime asset during Villa’s financial turmoil. If we’d behaved more equitably, we might have got him.Both Diaz and Grealish we took too long.

Diaz dad is talking bollocks. He was always going to the Dippers.
90% sure Dragusin is dead in the water but you never know, he will get a ton of minutes for us but will prob ride the bench most of the time at Bayern. I'm beginning to fucking hate them cunts more and more every passing day. Let's cross our fingers that the allure of the PL and the beautiful football will swing it for us, otherwise on to the next. Surely a cut price deal for Kelly or Tosin isn't the worst idea in the world for this window?
We didn't miss out on Grealish by being gazumped, that was our own fault. With Diaz Liverpool would have came in whenever we agreed the deal and he would have chosen them over us, unless his father says something to counter that then his claims of hesitation don't mean much.Both Diaz and Grealish we took too long.

Or do you disagree that Liverpool would have came in whenever our bid was accepted?
If a player fundamentally wants to go somewhere else and that team is also keen, there’s nothing we can do. Now, Bayern could have fucked up and delayed too long. That’s possible.
But if you’ve agreed a fee and terms with the player, what else can you do?
Willian was nicked away half way through his medical.
Were we supposed to have tied him down or kidnapped him ?.
People are free to make choices in UK - sadly they sometimes make bad choices in life but we can't stop that.
I’ve seen all Kanes goals over there. Ball comes across and Kane slots it in from 8-10 yds. That seems to be about 75% of his goals. So easy. Should get 40 plus and beat Lewandowski record this season.
This one is more like Willian than anything else imo. A true gazumping, not actually Levy’s fault.
Here’s what has become clear to me.
a) The agent knew of Bayern’s interest beforehand and knew to let them know when a deal was agreed.
That’s the only possible explanation, unless you’re willing to believe a serious football club like Bayern Munich heard of Dragusin this week and slaps down €30m to spite us. No, they asked to be kept in the loop on the deal and then made a move at the last minute.
b) the haggling on Genoa and the agent’s side with all the fees was partly us but partly Genoa stalling trying to get big money involved because they knew of Bayern’s interest.
All of it has fallen into place now that we are where we are. I’d love to slag off Levy for this one but I honestly think this was unavoidable, Bayern were always paying attention to this one.

We now try to shape our players expectations before they join Spurs.
One of our next targets scored the goal in the 1-0 defeat of Chelsea tonight !
