He’s slow and turns like a cruise liner
Please refuse jury duty if ever you are called up.
Worse was what he did to BMJ I think he’s as slippery as they come but with transfers …. I think there’s times he has put the money there and the manager or ‘scouts’ have been culpable
It appears we had a good go for bastoni. I believe he did back conte …. Conte wanted to keep dier. Get lenglet and never drop hojbjerg
Mourinho who knows with him
But this is clear as day. We need 2 goid CBs. They’re the 2 the club have decided upon
All he has to do is make these deals happen. This one would be a fucking travesty to ignore
Leverkusen aren't asking for 50m, the journalist is just speculating that it would take a large offer over 50m to even make the question their "not for sale" stance.
From the article:
"Only an immoral offer above 50 million euros could lead him to at least question this point of view."
I’ve worked in the industry… I’ve seen it happen. Like all the time
Edit. I’ll give you a little anecdote… I was long the trainline. There was enough in its favour to recover its beaten down price
But it just didn’t do what it was meant to… the price always seemed under pressure … unnaturally so
So I had a look round and found that George sorros was short … and with some conviction… and I couldn’t find out why he was so sure the trainline price was going to drop
And I really researched. Spoke to a few friends that might have a clue. Nothing
Then few months later the government announced they were going to trial their own digital ticketing service …. Why when it’s all private I’ve no clue but that wasn’t the point
The point was he knew months in advance of a highly impacting event that was going to materially harm the trainline business
What government lacky fed him that juicy tidbit?
He won. I lost
He also cheated

The Express reports that Bayern are considering mentioning Benjamin Pavard in negotiations, with the Liverpool and Manchester City-linked defender set to leave the Allianz Arena this summer.

Yes yes before the crybabies start to cry I know the Express isn't a quality source.
The problem is he's apparently a RCB
Harry Kane: Tottenham offered Bayern swap proposal that ruins Liverpool plan but will fix major Postecoglou problem
Bayern Munich are still desperate to strike a deal with Tottenham for Harry Kane this summer and are reportedly ready to offer a Liverpool and Manchester City defensive target star to try and get the deal over the line.

Other reports dispute saying he’s out of the question. They would give up Upamecano first.The Express reports that Bayern are considering mentioning Benjamin Pavard in negotiations, with the Liverpool and Manchester City-linked defender set to leave the Allianz Arena this summer.

We don’t want either tbh
The thing is though, levy isn’t stupid. He must know we’re not gonna be successful with Dier Lenglet he goes to games too has eyeshmmm 82 Million sure....but we could also get Lenglet for about 4 million and Philips for 5 mill and he'll be worth 40 million plus in 5 years!
I know people will say ‘oh he won’t care once the club makes money’ etc
The club would make more fucking money if we’re successful
But apparently the Italian clubs do. And his supposed demands don't sound unreasonable.
Look on the positive side……you wait a long time for a bus and then 3 come along at the same time.
Well, by this time next week Levy will have bought 3 new coaches for travelling to away games.

Is that true. The bonus for the cup win. Seriously. I can’t even begin to see the logic in that considering he paid him 15m for the year
Unless you know this true I’m inclined not to believe it
Good point.Ahhh, but there is the rub. We finished 8th!
I think you have discovered the excuse they are preparing,
No European football killed the budget
So how did he engineer the CL final loss, Semifinal losses to Portsmouth, Man U, Chelsea,
How on earth did he manage to engineer a loss to Norwich back in 2019, Sheff United last year?
I think they have an optimum level of success, based on risk/reward, where ideally we achieve it with as minimal an outlay as possible.
The peak that we can expect from that model is consistent top 4, that's what Levy wants. He'd absolutley be delighted if we won the league, but the financial risk incurred to challenge for that consistently would be huge, and there's very little guarantee of being successful.
A season or two outside of CL doesn't matter too much, but if we were ever falling way short consistently I'd expect to see them pull their finger out, likewise for any more serious threat to their cash cow, for example the 2 points from 8 games debacle where relegation wasn't out of the question and we saw a pretty big January splurge.
Sad fact is, it's not the prospect of success that will see us open our wallet, it's the threat of failure.
Club have known the price they are asking for weeks.
They have known they won’t pay it for weeks as well.
This one was always “we tried”.
At least we have a back up plan with Lenglet
I mean. Of all the CBs. This is the one we’ve chosen. I’d like to assume a solid amount of DD has gone into this decision
We also knew we’d be on the backfoot come negotiations … he’s plenty left on his contract and isn’t for sale
So … why did we bother if we’re just going to fuck around and be cheap. What was the point
If that’s who we think is the best fit for our side. Then you gotta pay a premium to prize him away
Big clubs do this
