Thought as much...does fuck all.
Frank probably considers Palhinha and Gray our DM's now
Too late Levys all over it…..here we go
It absolutely did not tie our hands whatsoever and we should have just walked away.
We bought a left winger, Tel. They’ve no intention of buying another.
I completely agree with you but you and I both know Daniel Levy was never shelling out £8m for a 6 month loan without that loan fee essentially being accounted as part of the total transfer fee for the player. You and I both know that £8m was effectively a down payment in his mind.
Savio would be a stupid buy. 70m for a guy we dont need
Nah, I think Daniel Levy is a man who knows his way around the Sunk Cost Fallacy.
"Well, I guess I have to spend 30M more..." does that sound like our boy?
What about a good one though?
We're going to get a few injuries at some point and slide down the table, whilst that lot will be competing for the PL.
He should have shame , but somebody told him he would have pay for it so he went with the no shame option
If Levy properly understood sunk cost fallacy we might have gotten transfer fees for Reguillon and N'Dombele and more than €5m for Lo Celso.
It's probably been covered but I find it odd that Tel has been sponsered by Nike since the age of 14.
Theoretically plausible.... But in a lot of cases; no we have a spiteful element to our fanbase who can't regulate themselves.
This isn't true though.... We were chipping away at signing him for weeks..... The deal went cold and then came 'alive' again towards the end of the window.
Even someone like me that doesn't watch a great deal of European football knew who he was.
Sorry; but spending 40m for some minor PR win is not "cheap, bald cunt" behaviour.
Bottom line; if people are mad we sign the permanent deal on him then fair enough; but ffs can we not weaponise all this baggage against the player....... We've already seen how toxic our fans can get with Johnson last season. He's 20 and there's no reason to write him off so vehemently.
Tel, Odobert, BJ. Meanwhile at 10 we have...What about a good one though?

Not confused at all. Just listen to how silly you sound.... an obligation to buy a player who is essentially out of contract when that obligation kicks in... let me help you out. They will be paying a 12 month loan fee which may or may not be deferred in it entirety for 12 months and will undoubtedly be linked to performance metrics. If he stinks up the place, which is highly likely then there is not a cat in hells chance they will keep him. He will just be an out of contract player who someone else can kick the tires on. They are not buying him from us and redoing his contract. I can guarantee that. It's a loan. Plain and simple.
Get a room chaps
True enough, but that's different, that's about demanding money in the door rather than spending money outside of it.
Lange loves Tel's talent long term and Ange did too, and when Bayern was willing to heavily reduce the purchase option we took it.
That was a shortsighted decision at that moment in time.
