Which means that he won't be signing for us !!
Funny how theres fuck all the whole month and then it goes off with 2 days to go...everytime!
With extreme prejudice.or terminate Werner
Because the only time he shows up in the conversation is when a target has been identified and we are ready to close the deal. How do you know that this is not case?
If we get him I wonder what dragusin agent will say about his clients next potential next club. Real madrid or Barcelona perhaps. So far in what I've seen we got done by Arthur daley.
Normally that is ok, club just looking for the best deal price wise. This month it wasn’t ok, we already had holes and an injury crisis blew it up and cost up badly. That is why the fans and media gave Levy both barrels.
I think the group stages of the European comps extending late into January may have something to do with this too. Clubs would want to see whether they will make it to the next rounds before making decisions about who to sell/buy.
Normally happens as negotiations can drag out, bidding wars etc. Last minute deals have to be wrapped up quickly. One deal I'm glad we didnt do on deadline was charlie adam. He was shit.
I asked in respect of your post. So for example, how do you know that Daniel Levy is not the one deciding who we will sign (as you state)?
Does it matter if it gets the deal over the line?
If Tel’s team want something beyond the original parameters of the deal it can only help to have the chairman there to immediately sanction it or not.
It also indicates the desire we have to sign him if the big guns rock up.
I don’t see a downside (as long as the A level speech isn’t trotted out!
) .
Dibling tomori and tel is a good window for jan def a solid 8 for sure 
They’ll all be injured again at some point though won’t they. That’s who we are mate!
In the end he paid what they said they wanted from the very beginning, not sure that makes them fuckers .
Just imagine if we sign Tel and Tomori, and all our players are fit in 2 weeks. Ange goes from one extreme problem (no players) to another (too many!). Who do you start and who sits on the bench, and who stays at home?

My A levels
In fairness, it is difficult especially with the way the new European competition formats made basically every major club in Europe uncertain of what their second half fixture situation looks like until literally the last two days. That's a new impediment.
Levy would have gotten pelters for doing Nelsen and Saha on January 1 and then closing up shop for the month. Not from me, that's what I would have done too, but if we wind up making major beneficial acquisitions here in the last few days it can all end on a happy note.
No-one knows what the ins and out are of our recruitment team or our infrastructure but you can take a wild guess what their functions are based on the information out there and what we've read.
What you're describing is Lange's role, not Levy's - Levy will set the budget and the framework and his team will work well within that so Lange will be the one going out there and using his data recruitment technique and identifying the players,not Levy...he knows fuck all about football.
