I hope we string Chelsea along and agree with the other PL clubs to do the same with all their players that are up for sale, and then all pull out at the last minute, after contracts are all finalised and just require signatures. They’d be absolutely shafted on the financial rules.
Agree. The best part has been the fact we went out to do our business early.
I think three very positive things have happened to Levy’s approach to our transfer policy:
1. Levy seems to have finally been disabused of the idea that you will always get a better deal if you hold out to the last...
