You speak so much sense mate haha. This is bang on as well.Doubt it. We'll probably miss out on Imbula too, then wheel Pochettino out for a press conference so he can say he's "vewwy happy with the players we have."

I have zero expectations when it comes to our transfer strategy. We sold Modric and VDV, and brought in Dembele and Dempsey instead of spending big on Moutinho, who would have been the heart of AVB's team. Then we splash out £17m on Paulino the following season!
I'll be shocked if we spend more than £15m on a player that could actually get into our starting eleven. Yes it would be great if we could get at least one key player that the manager wants (so far there's not been a single signing under Pochettino that could be said to command a first team place), but hey...that's how we approach things so why expect this summer to be any different?
This is great advice!I used to get frustrated at our transfer policy but now I've entered a state of Zen-like calm. I just sit in the lotus position humming "ohmmm" and clearing my mind of any positive transfer thoughts. It makes the transfer windows a much calmer and realistic experience.
I'm sure we'll stock up on next season's 'deadwood' though
He is that good, and expect this to drag on wayyyy into July/August. At the same time Kramer will come out and say he is 100% staying at his current club. Or agree to join Roma or somewhere.We should have a deadline for this. Even if I'm sure we have a plan B already in motion, we cannot let this drag too long.
If by July we don't have something concrete, we should move to the next target.
He's not that good to make us wait this much
You don't have to worry about Kramer joining Roma - they're too busy trying to get full rights to Nainggolan who's been amazing this last year (dare I say better than both Schneiders and Kramer! )He is that good, and expect this to drag on wayyyy into July/August.

Yeah I just used Roma as a poor exampleYou don't have to worry about Kramer joining Roma - they're too busy trying to get full rights to Nainggolan who's been amazing this last year (dare I say better than both Schneiders and Kramer! )
I can definitely see Kramer staying at Leverkusen, however.
I trust my contact and he was adamant we had offered the asking price 24/25m so can we put this Levy being tight shit to bed please?
That's not saying he will come, but we have bid.
And Mikeegreen and Spurger King you need to get a room ffs

I appreciate that you post in good faith.
Doesn't change my opinion on the situation in the slightest though.
Don't be silly. McCarthy will decide to stay at Everton at the last minute and we'll panic buy N'zonzi.James McCarthy on August 31st it is then
Which of course you are entitled to, but this is the sort of stuff that ends up being legend. I have frustrated in the past when we have missed out on different targets, but in this case it will be the player choosing someone else rather than Levy having short arms
