Had we sold him without an agreeable nod from the manager, and / or purchased a quality replacement of equal standing you're right, I would have shat me pants and let the steam off on here.

Bollocks John.... You still piss and moan about Walker now when it suits your agenda.

(Before you say "Yeh, but Serge"... Poch chose; bad call.)

Daniel Levy expects and demands absolute top dollar for every player he sells, over and above the odds, while bemoaning the unsustainable transfer market he's directly contributed to creating.

So you're saying we should have accepted notably less for Bale, Modrich & Berba when they forced us to sell by mutiny.... Pucker up for the richer clubs? We should have ditched CE to RM for fuck all even though they had no problem paying 100m for Hazard in the same window (who had the same time left on his deal)?

Clueless.....

I think it's hypocritical and it's a major factor in our decline since 2018

Hahahah.... And you'd know ALL about hypocrisy wouldn't you, John..... :adethumbup:
 
Hmmm, looks like the asking price was initially too steep and scared suitors off. I don't know what that number was but judging from this it had to be more than 100M. So 130 to 80 to 50...to 17M.

What say you Stanley Stanley

edit: numbers according to published articles

So todd1882 todd1882 , a couple of pages back when you were claiming Five's Hytner piece stating 130m in summer 2019 proved you were right about Levy outpricing him, was actually just agenda bollocks then, because the reality was he was being touted for much less - 80m then 50m that summer:

Further price reduction. 6 Aug 2019.

According to AS, Spurs have told foreign clubs they’ve more than halved Eriksen’s asking price, meaning he could move on for as little as £50m if he transfers overseas.

However, this discount does NOT apply to Premier League sides, who will allegedly have to stump up more than £60m for the midfielder’s services.


Good work guys. You know you're not meant stick the petard up each other's arse when tag teaming right ?

We’ve opened up two non-HG spots with Vorm and Jan going. Hojbjerg has filled one. So there’s one spot going at the moment and we need to sign a RB, ST, possibly a CB. I can’t see us signing a non-HG CM without selling one of Ndombele or Sissoko.
Bear in mind that Aurier will likely be out at the same time as an incoming RB so we have a little more wiggle room.

Saying that I wouldn't be surprised if Ndombele and Sissoko both left.
 
Just like Højbjerg was worth £35m, amiright?
:levylol::mourlmao:

Don't forget Foyth is no longer an u21 in 20/21 so we now have the maximum 17 overseas trained players (uefa definition) - no spare spots
 
RESPECT THE COCK RESPECT THE COCK showed 3 different articles from 3 progressive times in the TW with decreasing price tags from 130 (guardian) to 80 (Sun) to 50 (AS). You're going to believe 1 of those but not the others?
I believe all of those valuations at the time they were mentioned.
I believe DL declared a price of 130m (or 80m) at the beginning of the 2019 summer TW. No approaches were made. Then at the end of the 2019 summer TW DL declared a lower price of 50m. Still no approaches were made. This leads me to personally believe that no approaches were made, but that a declared price tag wasn't the problem, no actual interest was.

2 summers Levy had to sell him bt nothing.
Again I believe we didn't sell because nobody ever made a decent offer, because nobody was interested
You believe an unrealistic price tag scared off interested parties

Do you belive that if he was puton the market in 2018 for 17M we would have had takers?
Yes, but personally I don't think that would've been a good idea :sonpoint:
All jokes aside, I get that you feel things should've been better as soon as summer 2018 regarding this transfer. However I hope you can admit that to some extent it's easy to say all this in hindsight. (I think everyone expected that at least some decent approaches would've been made by clubs). My motto would always be "Listen to offers, you can negotiate a bit but be cautious since the player actually wants to leave". If Levy would've ever declined a decent offer for Eriksen, you could rightfully blame him for it to some extent because in hindsight we already know he was sold for peanuts in the end.

See BC, this is the type of stupid shit that I KNOW you are smarter than but you put it out in the ether anyway to score internet points. And this is why you are in the realm.

One of those articles came first...can you guess which fucking one? I'll let you think on that one. And while you're thinking can you tell me what happens in the marketplace to a good or service that doesn't sell at the initial price? I will let you think on that one too.

So previously you dismissed Hytner's account but now you are taking the other two claims as "reality"/gospel. You're a joke BC. You talk shit and are full of it. I can't believe that I previously thought you were above this type of shit. But I unequivocally do not believe that any longer. I refer you to my previous post

No need for this Five, it's BC. He doesn't care about accuracy and facts jsut what feels right to him.
