That's where I am too.
If Poch was relaxed and upbeat I think I'd share that in the knowledge that things are going to plan. It's obvious something has happened to bend him out of shape.
Think about it, if he'd been told Lo Celso and Sess were almost signed up and he was asked the transfer question would he really react in that way? No, because he'd be delighted with getting the players he wants and he'd probably be happy to share that feeling. Instead he gets asked the question knowing that things have not gone how he'd wanted and that is a source of irritation.
Imagine if you were having problems in your relationship but wanted to keep it private and someone kept asking you if it was going well? It'd start to irritate you to as it's not a source of happiness and pleasantry.
I still think Levy will come good because he will be pushed into a corner - he will do it with gritted teeth. He knows the backlash would be huge and he will be aware that Real could come calling come this season (I dont think ZZ will last that long)
