Well I've done some research on this and can't find it anywhere. The only information out there, that I can see, is his interview from a couple of weeks ago, where he said he wants to win the PL.and CL.
Maybe you could put the quote/interview up to draw a line under the argument?
I see the fact players, coaches, directors, agents etc are all enjoying their holidays, summer tournaments, etc is sending the spoilt among you into a rage tiz.
Fuck sake people, it's June. Relax and give it a rest.
We're nowhere near big enough to be throwing £100m around like Liverpool have for Leverkausen players. It is what it is.
We're also claiming to be happy that we have a team who look at data rather than names. Then we all froth at the mouth when we buy a player we haven't heard of.
I said as much last season.

No he isn’t but he’s a seasoned premier league player and is a guaranteed starter for his country. I don’t think those other two are top notch. Very good players and mostly play games at a high level. It’s fine lines in football and that’s the difference from being a good player to a very good player. Our midfielders are so inconsistent at times and that’s what stops them being top players. At times we’ve seen Bentancur and Biss look crazy good but their form can drop off a cliff from game to game.
It'll take a few years before people realise they're not close to a return to the top table.
But Levy didn't say next season though, could have said under his breath 'sometime in the next decade' whilst keeping his fingers and toes crossed !
Just saying.
I’ve already posted 1 but here’s another:
“Winning is not easy… there are clubs who spend a lot more than us and still don’t win. It’s hard.”
Money talks. Newcastle, Woolwich and Spurs were all in for him too but United were willing to multiply his wages by 5. The other 3 clubs would have been a much better career move for him.
Levy won't make Mbeumo our highest paid player and Mbeumo hasn't achieved enough to sign for us and instantly become our highest paid player. I know our model is frustrating but it does have to be consistent. Can't have Mbeumo coming in earning more than double all our other forwards are on. That is how you create a toxic environment! We would probably offer Mbeumo up to 180k but that would still be well short of what United have offered him. He's currently on 45k at Brentford so United have just stupidly hiked his wages to get him.
I can see another club swooping for Eze if we don't get a move on. Prob Chelsea knowing them.
Lol at
Richard Arlison
actually agreeing with this post when he's the king of getting twisted out of shape over twitter bollocks and his own fan fiction.Zero awareness.
It don't get jokes.
Ah no. Don't get me wrong Norgaard is underwhelming but he's a very different profile to Hojbjerg.
Hojbjerg was just a proper box to box midfielder. A destroyer. Build up play was basic and he didn't like sitting deep on his own. Basically a poorer version of Declan Rice. Norgaard sits deep and controls games, build up play is probably his main strenght. Modric/Alonso profile but obviously a lot poorer. Very different player to PEH. Norgaard is not elite but he's better than what we have in that position. Bentancur is better but he's more of an 8 - Norgaard is a better 6 than Bentancur. A prime version of Bissouma has a higher ceiling than Norgaard but we probably only see that 5/6 games a season. Norgaard is consistent and has a high floor. Underwhelming signing but we need a profile like him and he'd walk into our team.
At least we will be able to say we tried
No he 100% without a doubt implied that he'd spend a fuckload this summer and sack Frank if he didn't win the league.
As good as a promise.
We outspent City and Woolwich last season. On a net spend basis. For fees only, not including wages. Of course.
And were the only one of the 3 to win anything.
Maybe the formula is easier than Levy thinks.
Hardly worthy of outrage eh.......
Do teams literally drop out of the air and take players off us?
No - you need to have top quality players with a top coach or it can’t happen.
You have inserted BUY in there but it’s not warranted.
In any case, let’s correct the record before myths take hold. Earlier in that same video he spoke of competing in all competitions which is obviously the short term goal. If you listen to what Vinai said just before and what Levy is responding to, then it is clear that winning is a longer term goal. That is consistent with the actually transfer policy strategy we have seen recently.
Neither was Gravenberch a year prior.
