Yep maybe he said I want to spend 100 on Lukaku and Levy told him to do one
Great so maybe we should sign Ashley Young for wingback since he also helped Inter win a league by your logic.
If Conte is coming as manager and thinks that Young can do the job better than others yes.
But he hasn't ever indicated that. Its almost like your ridiculous hypothetical is silly and the reality of a multiple league winner actually wanting a player is much more relevant.
We know how soft modern footballers are.... Do we? Really? Or do you just believe everything you see in papers and Twitter?
levy loves a deal more than anything. conte was free and he thought he could flog this dead broken squad for another year. we'll sign the manager we don't have to pay for so rafa, martinez, howe on deck
Not silly at all. You said De Vrij is a defender who helps you win things because he won his first league title last season. Young played for the same team so by your pea-brain logic he is also a defender that helps you win things and we should SIGN HIM UP BABY. Reguilon who?
And when did Conte ever indicate to you that he wanted to sign De Vrij by the way? Personal phone call? Or do you just go around believing every tweet you read? MORON.
No that is not how it works actually, I said that signing De Vrij with Conte coming in helps you win things because of what he did with Conte last season. I specifically referred to De Vrij.
I didn't say any player for Inter, I was specific about one player.
So no you can't just make up what you like and attribute it to me because I never said it. I know that is the only way you can argue is to make shit up but it doesn't make things true.
When the reports come from reliable sources yes they should be believed. And if he doesn't want to bring in De Vrij then there is a simple solution, don't bring him in! What a concept.
It is funny how much you are trying to make this into a big deal because of your pathetic little feelings.
Backtracking?
From what the shit you made up?
Feel free to quote where I said anything about Young. You can't just like can't ever quote the shit you make up.
Of course you will do what you always do when shown to be full of shit and that is resort to personal attacks to try and deflect away from your shit.
I think Poch is a good coach, but I don't think he worked miracles. When he had quality players at their peak, he produced excellent results (ok, no trophies, but we were right up there). When we had less quality to work with, the results went south (and I am talking about the league. Our Champions League final appearance was a very lucky cup run imo, we could/should have gone out at the group stage/quarters/semis etc.)
I mean Poch's peak team was prob something like:
lloris
walker-toby-jan-rose
wanyama-dembele
eriksen-dele-son
kane
That's just a team of really good players (when they were at an age of peak performance). It's not a miracle to have that team up there, they should be right up there. The mistake was not continuing to give Poch the quality as the likes of Dembele, Vertonghen etc declined, but we all know that I suppose.
People basically give managers too much credit. At the end of the day the team with the better players wins 9/10 times so if you want to win a league or a Champions league you need to have better players than your rivals. It's quite simple really.
He will probably go there and become another Xavi. Or not
That's us finished then....!
No, United are just a richer Spurs, they are extremely stupid.
If the reports are to be be believed about him wanting assurances over money to buy players then my comment was correct. Also, it looks like he’s spent best part of a billion pounds on players in his time: not scared of splashing the cash, that’s for sure.
It’s about owners’ cash, not ambition.
I agree with a lot of the above and share the frustration created by false hope over nothing more than a time wasting exercise. Levy knew Conte wanted complete control and shedloads of shekels whilst at the same time Conte knew he wouldn't get either.
Both of them were fully aware it was dead in the water before their little legs took a step in the wrong direction therefore one can only assume they did it because they were both curious..... lending more than a little credibility to that old adage 'curiosity killed the kitty.'
