Quite right. The golden rule of the internet. There's always a bigger and better pedant around.

It's the rule (which I can't remember the name of now) which states that any post pointing out an anomaly/error/oversight will itself contain and anomaly/error/oversight. Guaranteed.

You can't mess with the internet. It's a harsh mistress.

Good to know he has now arrived. Let's hope this announcement is followed up with new deals for Bale and AVB and a few new signings!

Not sure DL needs to change much. Financially cautious etc. What we've been lacking, imvho, these last few yrs is a coherent strategy. Hopefully this means we will see one implemented, instead of the trans-global round the houses we embark on each and every yr, with largely the same names touted over and over again.

Agree.

Levy quite clearly didn't really trust Harry in the market and only really backed his cheaper desires. I think he's been looking for the right man to do the majority of the market work for him for a long time, since Comolli really, who he did seem to trust a lot until Ramosgate (again with good reason, Bentley/Bent aside).

That's what we all as fans want, but Levy will not change and he'll play hardball till the last minute, as he always does.

Okay, good news but I do have one question and this is not being negative in any way but.....

Who has this guy signed in the past?

I really don't know the answer to this and is in no way a dig at him, but is his track record good or are we getting carried away. I know as Tottenham fans we never get carried away :whistle:, but maybe we might be.

Actually one of the big problems we have had is while we have lacked a DoF Levy has been doing deal with the aid of agents who work as intermediates, hopefully Baldini's arrival will see us have more direct contact and possibly expedite some deals.

I am hoping that he trust this guy and just gives him a budget to stick too, probably won't but he does need to take a step back.
