There's 10 minutes to go, ofcourse he's more likely to stay than go. Well done Levy.
 
Re: Summer transfer thread, do NOT believe everything SSN "understand" #Levytime

does anyone just hate the whole daniel levy wage structure flimflam. old fashioned ways unfortunately will mean nothing more than a good old fashioned mid table finish im afraid.


three 5th place finishes and two 4th places in the last 7 seasons (maybe 8 ) - can't be that bad ;)
 
Re: Summer transfer thread, do NOT believe everything SSN "understand" #Levytime

Does it worry anyone else that AVB seems to be stripping the team of our creative flair and replacing them with scuttly hard working players who aren't particularly outstanding at anything??

Stripping it? Modric wanted out, nothing AVB could do. Hudd's been injured for a long time.

Spooky ‏@Spooky23

Moutinho spotted flying over Essex towards Chigwell on a dragon.

I fear Moutnho's 'comments' would only be released long after the window shuts - vDv style

I'm glad you'e noticed that

also noticed that Thudd and Danny rose went out on loan...not a coincidence about those two for me personally

another thing i have noticed are the ages and serving length of the people removed. And the mentality associated with some of them, then compare it with the menatlity of the ones we have bought.

i sense a trend here

Moutinho's agent still at Spurs Lodge according to Norwegian telly (they have a reporter outside there).

There are still straws to be clutched...
 
Re: Summer transfer thread, do NOT believe everything SSN "understand" #Levytime

why a mid table finish?

we have a team that can compete for top 6 easy

I have noticed the top 6 phrase has seeped into posts increasingly often, less people seem to believe or willing to say top 4. My view is it is debatable we are stronger than last year and that we will find it more difficult to challenge those positions. Considering what AVB was brought in to do, it would be a disappointment if we slipped to a position we haven't been in for at least 3 years.
 
Re: Summer transfer thread, do NOT believe everything SSN "understand" #Levytime

Thing is, if we are never going to splash 22m on player, then we can't compete anywhere near the top four. Even Villa have paid 24m for a player. That's the reality of the market we are working in now - fees and wages have risen astronomically in the era of Emirates Marketing Project, Chelsea, PSG, even QPR using sugar daddy money. Our record 16m is nothing for a player now...hell, even the young players are ridiculously expensive now, like A-Ox and Butland. Even United are getting tinkled at how much their youth are demanding.

There are still cheap gems out there, but we need to overhaul our scouting system drastically, and be able to pick up signings like Michu and Cabaye for 2m, while continuing a strong focus on youth development. That'll be risky, but we have to gamble in order to compete against those with far more resources than we will ever have.

And I'm sure that we will.....either in the dying embers of this window or one in the near future.
