You really are a bore.
Yeah I'd love to say what I think of you but I'd probably get a ban.

I'd exepct us to have more than one target, like the Damiao situation for example.

Jesus christ chill out! This is the sort of thing that makes me believe that some people just won't have ANY criticism of Levy. Even if you acknowledge his good points, if you're not in total agreement with every decision he makes, you want him out.
This discussion reminds me of the project management triangle
you can only have two of the three points on the triangle in any project, which is basically what a transfer window is. What do we sacrifice?
My guess is that at earlier in the window he didn't expect Berbatov to down tools or negotiate with a club that did not have permission to talk to him.
I thought he had permission to travel to Emirates Marketing Project but turned up at Manchester United instead?

Not quite true - they were 'interested' already one year before - the intention was 'expressed', Berbatov was well aware (most importantly)
The following summer he simply wanted to extract the maximum fee (fair enough), hence the protracted transfer and deadline-day circus - he knew Berbatov wanted to leave long, long before - or at the very least - right about the time he refused to sign a new contract. We even brought in Pav (and Bent) earlier - the signs were rather telling.
Also - when did Berbatov 'negotiate' without permission - he was in London up until that afternoon on dead-line day?
