100%. Then the little cunt rakes up a 20% price increase
Like fuck it is...... Toxic cunts are responsible for their own words and actions.
Pissed with Levy - Take it out on him.
Pissed at Conte - Ditto.
...That's no excuse for being a knuckle-dragging cunt.
Diaby had two years left
Levy has managed to negotiate the transfers of Berbatov and Son out of Leverkusen, they weren't easy deals but they got done and there seems to be a good relationship between the two clubs.
True Bayer are not poor but they are used to selling players. They know when players want to leave it's best to let them go. Im just not sure if Tapsoba is the number one target for us.

Yep. He’s made the same mistake probably 20 or 30 times. He never learns.
Everyone.
Of course not. We should have signed one of VdV or Tapsoba by now, noone knows what is going on behind the scenes but if Ange is ok about it like he says he is then we just have to be patient.
Exactly, we don't want to do it, Woolwich have, villa have.
Levy always sees it as a victory, by lowering the price to almost insult levels.
Except of course, when we are selling, then it's a different story.
Gave up on trying to decrypt his posts, just strewn with failed autocorrect and aloofness not to make the subject intelligible.
At least mine are intentionally arcane (nonsense to most).
Chelsea also wanted him last summer and they couldn't sign him. Don't think 80-90m would've been enough. I'm also not sure paying so much for him would've been a smart move.
As to how things might've worked out: pretty much the same. Bastoni is not a defensive rock. He's better defensively than Lenglet, but he's no VVD, and our issues defensively were literally all over the pitch, people just focus on the LCB position cause there's an obvious improvement yet to be made there.
Sticky thinking, like some every window until now long for getting the crew back together (Eriksen, Dele…).
Being in the now, is best, but hard for many who only have time for Spurs n Match of the day (to realise the gulf in current form and trajectory between Maguire Vs Tapsoba, so I get it, but sheesh).
Levy, literally, has no shame.
So, what are you saying? we don't need to sign a top class CB or even 2?
Ange must have had an extra clause in his contract where Levy paid him off to say these things. Either that or the Levybots have gotten to him.
Apologies, didn't know he signed an extension on his original 5 year deal.
Exactly. So this is more likely that Leverkusen are overpricing a centre back. If our analytics or whatever we use tell us that van de Ven is not only better value for money, but could exceed Tapsoba at the same age, I'll go with it.
Maybe Tapsoba is hesitant then?
What bingo numbers win the "we tried" excuse that gets put out for not signing Tapsoba?
Last summer with Bastoni we went with "He's a lifelong Inter fan".
Not sure we can say that with Tapsoba.
Maybe it will be Leverkeusen's fault for asking too much money?

I think they both need to go, but I don't think there's any chance that Sess goes at this point. If for nothing else that clubs don't tend to tear up contracts on players who just underwent a surgery, and no club is going to want to buy him right now. I think we're stuck with him at least this window.
Yes, I mean of course we can afford to spend 80-90m on a CB, but we all know, especially Levy, if that were to happen then that means a new standard of expectation has been created and we would expect us to be making an 80-90m signing almost every other season. We're very comfortable from a financial standpoint as we are, business is going well, why rock the boat and take risks to start challenging for the title?!? Only mindless hooligans do such a thing!
