100% but Levy was involved in deals and agent work much more so than now -

He's not as quick but he's a hell of a lot better on the ball.
I have and not seen anything, strange.
I dunno why you've reacted in such a way tbh it was a simple request for some proof of what you were saying as it's my understanding that Hitchen oversaw what little of a transfer department we had during the years after Mitchell leaving and before Paratichi came in.

Spurs dealt transfer blow as Bastoni's agent confirms Inter Milan decision
Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni has been heavily linked with a move to Spurs but is set to remain with the Italian giants this summerwww.football.london
One week into the transfer window, Bastoni just gives up on his Premier League dream.... Sure sure
Levy up to his neck in stadium, Poch played hard ball in2016 (suggested he might not stay after 12 months or so at Spurs) so Levy allowed him major role in transfers at that point.
Levy probably stepped back to checking new player financials were something Spurs could live with, although probably agents wanted to talk to him as he was seen as main man..

June 4th 2022.... However, Bastoni himself does not want to leave Inter, which is so far proving the major stumbling block in a transfer.
You keep deflecting. I'll keep providing facts
Yep. Trent's best when he 1) is facing the play & 2) has space to play those balls over the top. It's why when Klopp inverted him it was often into CB so Trent could act like a quarterback without being pressured.
Why there's this desire to shove him in midfield where he'll have LESS time on the ball and will have to play with his back to goal is beyond me.

Happened after we didn’t want to pay 70m

Agree. Maybe they will find spaces in possession and he drifts wide whereas defensively Walker plays right back.
In the past when people do not like a view I've spent hours digging round to find old articles, and resolved several years ago to let other people spend time digging. Given you spent about 5 mins a very cursory search
Hitchen was never a DoF and had limited actual decision making in transfers.

Alessandro Bastoni tells Inter he wants to join Tottenham
Inter Milan central defender Alessandro Bastoni has told his club that he wants to join Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur.
He was involved but 2016 was the summer we wanted Mane, Zaha and Wijnaldum. He got Sissoko and if you read his book from that season its pretty clear he was underwhelmed about that but it was a last minute body in the squad. Its like saying Redknapp wanted Zaha and Neilson when he actually wanted Gary Cahill and Tevez. Managers can accept what they're given or not bother. We've had this conversation before but the crap transfers continued in 2020 because that oaf Hitchen had been over promoted.

Maybe more to do with a genuine winner as a manager and not a winner at pub level. Who knows.
One of many fans misunderstandings of transfer windows is that players have 'agency' in other words they can choose to go to a club or not - and its not necessarily always about money either. BTW, that's not aimed at you, just a general comment.
As an example - the 'famous' 'no signings' 2018 window. Spurs tried to sign Frenkie de Jong that summer but he didn't want to join Spurs for his own reasons despite the money being available. Frenkie de Jong admits he nearly joined Tottenham before Barcelona move
What fucking money have they put in?! They bought the club for around 30M and that was via a murky share dilution scheme and are sitting on 4BN.
The 23 years prior suggest that the manager is not the root cause so your point is BS
We also wanted Jack Grealish in 2018 who did want to come but we played silly buggers and messed it up.
My point was though its difficult to hammer the managers from those times, whether Poch, Redknapp even AVB because they rarely got what they wanted and had to make do and mend.
If he is good as what the Leeds supporter I know says then get him. As long as it’s not at the expensive of buying some proper quality first team players we should be getting.
