Just read ineos baulked at tel demands yesterday. That's what happens to a club if you're run by cycling specialists.

What a joke...
So basically a fairly newly promoted team has the ability and ambition to sign rashford and assensio...no matter what you think they are 2 proven players of quality...we would never sanction a deal like that let alone 2 in January.......
Ah - I did not realise that. Ok well that’s still better than a dry loan !No we don't.
If he tears it up, everyone else will bid for him and he picks and chooses where he goes.
An option is simply the Bayern element agreed. The good bit is what you said first; if he underwhelms, we're not tied in.
If thats it we have to leave 4 players out to accomodate Kinsky, Spence, Danso and Tel in the Europa squad. Forster, Dragusin with the injury and Werner best bets for 3 but god knows who the 4th one will be.
Can't we just chant the William Tel Overture....diddle da diddle da diddle da da da...
Im pleased Levy went all the way to Munich to have the door shut in his face. Cunt.
Maybe he will realise you cant sign good players and managers if you dont take your team seriously.
I called it a few days ago that we would do an "we tried" transfer at the last knockings of this window. And that gullible people in our fanbase would lap it up and buy it.
Its absolutley nonsensical to me that you don't sound out if a player is interested before you make a bid.
We knew he wasn't fucking interested and Levy is probably sighing with relief that he doesn't have to fork out. All while further embarrassing our club and making us look absolutley tin pot.
Which is what he's best at.
We tried though. That’s the important bit. As we languish in 15th with two fit senior forwards, everyone should remember that we tried. Maybe “we tried” can score for us.
We are a complete laughing stock
A punching bag
Enics lasting legacy
He was never going to come here, no serious player is going to come here at this moment.
Imagine you're 19 ... have massive potential (supposedly) and you're at a crossroads as Tel is ...
You look at Spurs.
Er, yes, but your club hasn't actually won anything Daniel.
Who would believe "it will all be different" from that guy?
I tell you who would.
A fool.
The fact we are not seen as an attractive option for a player of Tel’s standing in the game is an absolute indictment of Levy’s Spurs, considering the promises that were made when we moved into our “game changer” new stadium.
How we have transformed into such a rudderless, soulless mess of a football club before our very eyes is just so so sad.
Weird that people would think we’re a catch for any prospect. Yeah young players have played but in a terrible situation and they look dead on their feet. It’s probably not good for them. Players want stability, not relegation scraps playing out of position with senior players who are unarsed.
I imagine agents/players/whoever are really not convinced by our little Ange experiment. They probably ask ‘who?’ when they find out who coaches us.
Still dont think villa are a proper serious club. 90 per cent wages to turnover suggests desperate to keep afloat. Were better than them. Thrashed them twice in a row already.
Tel over the line, you what?
An option to buy included in the deal, excuse me?
No words today lads, just sign the form please
You don't need to reply to me, I will just ignore it however can we stop doubting the bald magician, it's getting beyond tiring now, thanking you.

And that's probably the most important bit. If he severely underwhelms we don't have another Ndombele on our hands.No we don't.

I call bullshit. Why would anyone on a 4-month loan without buy clauses care about a 'project'?
Not with Vic back.
Shady delivers the goodsTel over the line, you what?

It's not a patch on what it use to be they had to tone it down. It's cringe nowJust watching Deadline Day on Sky. Who the fuck is that stupid little brummie bint with hair sprayed hair?
Thats probably Spence stuffed again then.
