One article and all this? Seriously wait to see what develops before we all start laying into Levy....
To be fair he is almost inviting criticism with the way he has handled the window so far.

He was my example hence the egDo you really think we haven't checked out de Jong?
Not sure I buy this, why would Levy mess with the one transfer that our entire window depends on? The domino effect would have a potentially ruinous effect on not just deals in the pipeline, but squad morale too! He may be a tough negotiator, but he always seems to look after the best interests of the club, so this smacks of Croatian/Spanish bullshit to me, trying to make us look bad because their darling Rat Boy didn't get everything his own way, kind of like Stimac was trying to do last week! Assholes

If it was just the one article and solely about Modric then fine. But the striker situation, keeper situtation. New manager, new players, possibly some even newer players...One article and all this? Seriously wait to see what develops before we all start laying into Levy....
Doesn't anyone else find it odd that Mourinho would be the one to pull the plug or be furious because of Levy's negotiating ? Surely, if true, it would be the RM director negotiating who would be getting annoyed. Mourinho wouldn't give a shit as long as he got his player would he ?
Has anyone stopped to consider that perhaps Real's deal was taking the piss, and levy's protecting our interests and trying to ensure that Villas Boas has some meaningful cash to spend on players. I mean, if the price Madrid had offered was £25 million and Levy has said actually stick up your bollocks, if you really want Luka come back with something above £30 million is there so much wrong with that?

We always seem to go into seasons so poorly prepared.
so this article is the straw that broke the camels back as far as your concerned? It could be complete hogshit though!
AVB will be backed, its just the way we operate - I still think we'll be relatively pleased come the end of the window.
And since when do Managers negotiate transfer fees?I agree mate. Nothing on the spanish websites and AS and Marca have been updated on Modric in last hour. Still saying he's coming on Monday.
Yes. By Christ you're right. I see my life in an entirely new light! Thank you! I think you've saved me.I wouldn't worry mate. Your girlfriend never put out, your job was shit, and we all know that money can't buy you happiness. You're probably better off unemployed, skint and celibate.
(Agree with you about Juande though.)
Even if the article is hogshit, 17 hours from our first game - a 6 pointer going off last season - things are a mess.so this article is the straw that broke the camels back as far as your concerned? It could be complete hogshit though!

I dearly hope we get Ade, Leandro, Moutinho and Lloris. I would be genuinely ecstatic. But if we don't then the transfer window would have been a lot of wasted and we'll never get back.
You are v.probably right although we need to act differently when conducting business.
ITK's seem worryingly quiet since this morning...

I've defended Levy to the hilt - and have the neg rep to prove it - but i'm starting to lose faith in him.
It's one thing that we continually seem to be chasing people we can't afford but now the constant disruption over Modric? I can't see how this can be good for business, squad building or team morale.
Last season Chelsea offered us £35m, cash. Who knows, maybe we could have ended up with Oscar at a sensible price.
I won't ever question Levy's abilities but i'm starting to wonder about his strategy. If I was him i'd be losing sleep,feeling ill at the way things seem to be going.
