Janssen said AZ refuse to sit down and talk so it is creative to interpret that as Levy's fault. Virtually all transfer are a process of negotiation, nothing different is happening here. When clubs buy from us they negotiate, they offer low and play the same game with us. Aaaron Lennon wasn't sold because Everton simply said we'll pay whatever you want.
The blame game isn't healthy and usually it isn't accurate either.

Finally, someone who has a memory of what the player himself has actually said. Still, I very much doubt little things like facts are gonna stop the bed wetting brigade from going into meltdown :rolleyes:

Why would they want to talk? That's the price, you stump up or shut up, nothing to talk about, that's fair enough. It seems Levy has done the latter. Levy is getting a dose of his own medicine.

I'll tell you what. You keep believing the press & getting yourself all agitated about what you read.

Me, I'll be here seeing what actually unfolds whilst appreciating what we actually do have, ie an excellent young squad that's already been strengthened whilst we attempt to strengthen it further.

Cheers (y)

I seem to recall that in past it was said that the newspapers and the journo's are a few days, and maybe even a week behind. Strewth, it's quite possible that the ITK's are a day or two behind. I'm not disbelieving them at all, but things may have moved on a little. Pinch of salt and all that!

I cannot understand all this (lowball)

Please lets not point the finger at (lowball) Levy here, there's absolutely no reason we should think his methods (lowballing) don't work and its wholly unfair to use previous 'sagas' such as Berahino as evidence to even suspect that all is not as it should be when we're after a signing. I'm sure he tries his (lowball) hardest within the limitations he has to work under, what with us being skint, on the brink of being homeless and with the chains of champions league football to constrain us. (double lowball)

Give the guy a break for fucks sake

So come on everyone, cheer the fuck up and have a laugh, lifes too short to get a strop on about football.

That little bald weasel must be the unluckiest chairman in the world

Every person that he has dealt with from Steve Gibson to Jeremy Peace to this Huiberts seems to be a tosser

Wonder why other people don't seem to have this problem

Hang on, why are people starting to blame Levy? There is no evidence that he is holding this up. Just ignorant assumption.

Every transfer window there's always one transfer that will drag the fuck out, sap our energy, play with our emotions with a last second bid & in the end not happen....Seems Janssen is that one this summer window.

Who'd ever do something like that? Surely not us. Oh wait....

Indeed. We did the same for Bale. 20m euros is huge money in Dutch football so it wouldn't surprise me if they were playing it down. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if Levy was dicking them around either.

LOL, totally missing the point as usual.

Yakster called the Wanyama deal way before it was announced. Dov has posted that Yakster has been told from the same source that Janssen is done. That's good enough for me!

I think some of you lot would be happier with Donald 'the Art of the Deal' Trump as our chairman FFS.
And I think that every time there's even a whiff of criticism for our maniacal malignant dwarf someone comes out with stuff like this, its like it isn't allowed to have a pop at all, wether its right or wrong.

Still, we haven't had gems like 'be careful what you wish for' or 'the grass isn't always greener' yet, so that's something to look forward to :p

Everyone needs to relax, see how the window plays out and wait for the traditional post window ****ing off of Levy before putting the boot in, which will last 36 hours before Levy's propaganda machine kicks in and tells us all why it isn't actually him that's accountable :eek:

Do you follow other teams transfer saga's as closely as ours? do you go on all their forums? read their ITK? dig up every quote by every other teams chairmen about transfers they're involved in?

You forgot to mention, "Do you want us to do a Leeds"?
