I think we’re about to see when “48 hours” actually means “48 hours”, unlike in the Daniel Levy universe when it means “infinity”
I think we're kind of talking about different time periods here.
At the moment Maddison got hurt, Woolwich had genuinely cooled on the deal, and Eze's head was turned in our direction. If we make our move aggressively at that point, it's possible that it spurs Woolwich back into action, but it seems likelier that they'd have let it go.
But once there was the purported framework of a deal but Eze still started at the weekend, Levy should have smelled the rat.
The criticism of Spurs being much less rapid and purposeful in responding to the Maddison injury than Woolwich in responding to the Havertz injury definitely has merit here.
i disagree. levy wouldn’t pay what was necessary to close the deal. that’s why eze was still playing, that’s why we got hijacked. you can say we wouldn’t overpay but sometimes overpaying is the only way to get it done. you get a chance to sign a great player who’ll transform the club you do it. not quibble over performance bonuses and deferred payments. we’re simply not an attractive destination for a lot of top players and the only way to change that is to spend and get better.
Yeah and when coming from Bristol City, earning a place in the Championship team of the year as a 19 year old, lots of folks on here were keen on the move.
Bournemouth move has largely been injury-riddled but I think there is a quality player, only turned 22 today.
I would be okay with bringing him in as a squad option but unfortunately with the total embarrassment we’ve been to date in this window, a move here would turn him into the latest scapegoat if he didn’t immediately perform.
Eze isn't playing by the sounds of it.
I reckon Ange knew he was on to a loser with Levy in charge, and went all out to get his name in the history of the club.

According to Ornstein we could have done the deal but our negotiations where to slow and gave Woolwich the chance to pounce after they got the Havertz injury.
Believe that rubbish if you want. Postecoglou unless you knew him personally. All this first name bo!!ocks drives me mad.
All started by that pr!ck Johnson.
Postecoglou got lucky. Glorious though it was,it fell for him.no doubt and us more importantly.
Who knows what is rumour, truth or bullsh!t.
What is a fact is that we are still 2 or 3 players short, and that the club has had ample time to source attainable targets, and thus far has failed to do so.
Whoever is mostly at fault is secondary to rectifying the issue.
It never rains, it pours
Jesus that injury was a bad one

‘Just a knock’
Key thing to note about the timeline, we the public found out about Havertz' injury on Wednesday, but Woolwich themselves would have known Sunday after the game, Monday morning latest in terms of the extent of the injury.
Good fucking lord. Thought he was a month away from returning....
If that's accurate, it will be March before he's properly match fit....
Our window has been a disgrace
