The idea that Levy is a one man band running around sorting out transfers is laughable!!

I am not entirely sure how many staff we have involved but I would guess at least 20 employees dedicated to sorting transfer negotiations.

At my company, when we are in negotiations (for financial services) we usually have 5 or 6 of us in most meetings.

But only the boss man signs it off and agrees the deal and pays the money?

There’s still plenty of time if we construct the financials slightly in the other clubs’ favour.

No time for haggling. Just need to pay up.

Not really our MO tho :-s

hertyid: DL met with Bartomeu and Bordas yesterday apparently.

i presume they are someone important
Weird we'd send the big dog in just to discuss a loan? You'd think they'd be more to it

You would have to guess that we loan Coutinho as to hedge our bets re: Eriksen - if he stays we have Coutinho to push him all the way this season with no commitment from us to make the move permanent - if Eriksen goes then we have Coutinho as a ready made replacement who we possibly can sign permanently at the end of the season.

There is a reason we are doing a loan for Coutinho. If we pull it off, will reveal at close of the window.
Could it be that Daniel Levy has forgot his pin number and only has so much money under his mattresses hence the trip to Miami to raid his other piggybanks

Levy can do deals from Miami guys, he doesn't need to be sat in his office in London. This should be obvious but some of you seem to have forgotten about the technology available nowadays
And, as was pointed out earlier but glossed over, Barca are over there now

I have to say this high stakes game of poker is fun. Hats off to DL for trying for players we think are out of our reach. Perhaps the revamp Poch wants will take 2/3 windows to complete ... remember how Liverpool had to wait for players Klopp wanted

JJ did say we had other options!

Interesting though and it's blown up this evening!

All if not most of the ITK this summer said we'd be happy come the end of the window.

If it transpires that the only other incoming is Sessegnon then the majority of us fans are not gonna be happy.

That mean that either the ITKs have been feed wrong info but more likely the transfer committee has failed to achieve its targets for the 3rd window running.

That is not good enough for a club that is where it is.

There is also the argument that even adding a replacement for the possible outgoing of Eriksen, its still not good enough.

I was concerned that Levy was out in Miami because of what I'd read of his presence being the difference between getting the likes of Son over the line, really fucking glad to be reading this is why he was out there.

If it happens, it's Poch's number one target sorted as well.

I could be wrong but I think he's been out in Miami during transfer windows before.
I doubt he's there purely because Barca are playing there.
