Maybe clubs thought they could low ball Leeds because of their FFP issues and Brentford called all their bluffs by just coming out and offering what Leeds wanted?
The player would decide, not the club.

Why the beef? Hes the most anti Levy person and hes been proved right
The only one that I've seen any links too has been Palhinha from Fulham. I think he was rated 6th best DM in Europe last season. I'm not sure that he'd suit Ange though, he is 28 and linked to a few clubs. Bissouma was rated 10th best, which considering his drop off halfway through the season means we have a pretty good one already.Are any of the midfielders we’re talking about able to fulfil a decent No 6 role?
Not sure what our primary targets are anymore. I thought our 3 primarys were a top class DM, CM and striker/winger and than some cheaper options in other positions as back ups. We don't seem to be linked to any top class players in those positions yet. Hopefully Johan Lange is quietly organising some transfers that we know nothing about yet.I doubt if he'd have been a primary target.
More of a 'ok to sign later in the window but we might sign others first'

Every touch vs a Premier League opponent with 200m worth of CMs. I think he was 17 at the time.
Seen 3 or 4 other performances of this level. 35m will look like a total bargain before Christmas.
And most fans are more than happy to touch their toes and take it.
So, on it shall go.
The funniest thing is this poster regularly tries to claim that anyone that is anti Levy/ENIC are “Gooner Trolls” and, in his mind, not real Spurs fans, even though actual Woolwich fans continuously sing about how they want Levy to STAY. (understandably so too, as even they realise we are never going to be a serious outfit or win anything of significance with him at the helm)
You genuinely couldn’t make it up.
Yeah but nobody takes any notice of over excited or noisy kids do they.
the point is anyone can have a decent game against good opposition. I've seen him in games against lesser opponents and he didn't look particularly great.

He might well turn out to be a very good player but I can definitely understand why we are not spunking 35m on him.
When you see the transfer fees for Minteh, Gray, Dewsbury-Hall, Anderson, etc, I’ve no issue with us not being involved in the market until later.
Paying 30 odd million for players like this gives me the fear. I know these fees are probably inflated due to some dodgy fiscal shenanigans, but I dread to think what kind of money we are being quoted for some of our targets, who are almost certainly several levels above this lot.
The kickback from the fans maybe.
49ers just took over and had apparently promised Farke they wouldn’t sell him
Leeds ITK seem to think they've got a better offer.
Though wouldn't surprise me if you're right and they're reacting to the backlash.
