I honestly couldn't believe the amount of people that were dead set on why would he possibly choose Chelsea over us.

But why would he say he was leaving unless it was 100% happening? If the deal didn't happen he'd have egg on his face with the Palace fans.

Its really not hard to understand. Anyone with any common sense, is going to deny something happening if its not definitely happening. So if its in the pipeline no one would be stupid enough to turn around and go - yeah I'm loving.

Probably all club policy to keep quiet now and deny any current deals.

Gards also saying earlier that Zaha is a backup option.. I'm officially lost and have no idea who we're after or what we're planning

Probably trying to take it late and see if Utd budge on Martial...if not, then Zaha.

Also wonder if stories of Dortmund being more open to parting with Pulisic has changed things somewhat. With the NFL tie up and him also having a contract with Nike (rumours they may well be the ones who have the naming rights for the new stadium), maybe it's something we are looking at although would imagine it would be a difficult one to do.

Poch apparently rates Zaha as the best winger in the league, has made a wide forward his number one priority this summer, we have Cl football and have broken our wage structure, and we STILL couldn't get it over the line.

If you couldn't laugh, you'd cry.

Willian to Real, Zaha to Chavs. Every transfer window we get up hope, then we get negative only for people to keep staying there is plenty of time left.

Well I’m guessing this will be one of those windows again. United will not sell to us, deep down we all know that!

We have a decent squad, we just need to use the youth and let some of them shine.

Even if he goes to Dortmund, that's still one of those domino effect deals that allows Chelsea to get their man.

They can fuck us about without directly fucking us about. Mental.

Well if we've agreed a fee at a time where only a month ago Chelsea were in turmoil and didn't have a manager or a gameplan then as far as I'm concerned Levy or whoever else made that decision has got it horribly wrong. If ITK is to be believed we've lost out on and made it harder to get two targets because of playing who blinks first. If we had the money to agree a fee and have eventually coughed up and missed out when it would have been a clear passage 4 weeks ago on both then I blame people at the club for getting too cocky. The money was there, the fees were able to get agreed but ballysness has smacked them in the face with a week and a half left of the window.

I'm Levys biggest fan but if he's got this wrong he has to take a lot of blame. It's now completely down to him to fix it so the team and Pochettino don't suffer.

It was said yesterday that we would see what Levy was really made off... I guess that could have meant anything including broken dreams and shattered hearts!

Cue the ‘the club would like to announce Dele has agreed a new deal...’
Good news yes but blatently a delay as a PR stunt to appease disgruntled fans at lack of signings...unless ITK has been incorrect that deals for Dele & Eriksen have been agreed for some time.

People on here seem to have an impossible time with A&C constantly saying to take all itk with a pinch of salt. He doesn't say that because he thinks you lot need to up your salt intake. He says that because 1) itk can be wrong and 2) not all itk is equal

Dunno if levy can fix it, he is still struggling to offload his previous two last minute "fixes" in llorente and sissoko.
