True, but we do rely on him an awful lot. Maybe we should sign Iniesta in summer to give him some competition

Good. I'm glad Levy sent that not too discreet message to whoever's idea it was to go after Phil fucking Neville.

do you guys reckon if Levy had of went all out and bought Neville, Parker and Carroll we would've still been as shit since the Milan game?
Neville and Parker are leaders on the pitch something we are sorely lacking not to mention good experienced players and Carroll at the very least would've attacked everything under the sun our wingers whipped into the box but 35 mil is a lot
would've cost us a fortune though so it's perfectly understandable why Levy couldn't make it happen, this summer is going to be one big soap opera with our top players being circled by CL vultures and us trying to unearth another Berbatov or Drogba

Yep, thats just what El Tel was telling me the other night, just after we beat Chelsea.
(I love the suggestion that someone who knows about management reads this site!)

this. I'm glad levy keeps an eye on the purse strings.our spuad is already bloated with alot of harry sìgnings.we can't keep just stockpiling players until he getr ìt right. We only have money because of levys good financial management.we could easily turn into the next leeds if harry is let lose!

This is what I just don't understand,how do we manage to get messed about by players who say they will come one minute and then sign a new contract with their club the next minute?
When we are negotiating with a player/agent just tell them that we are interested and would like to put a bid in for them,they have a week to decide after that we move on and look at other options.

:rofl:...no, seriously...:rofl:
Do you really believe that?
Levy is incredibly ambitious.
We 'needed' Scotty Parker for his experience, and the fact that we had a lengthy midfield injury crisis in January, while no-one had any clue that SnadroRanieri would be ready to come into the team so soon, or that he would adapt to the English game so spectacularly. In retrospect, I am glad we didn't get Parker, as Sadrno got his chance, but FFS - it was hardly illogical. It was hardly as though he wanted to buy Carlton Palmer, is it:bang:
We 'needed' Phil Neville for exactly the same reason, his experience. Have I missed something, or didn't Phil neville play right-back...where he successfully kept a toast-of-the-World Gareth Bale completely subdued using his experience, and help to keep Crouch completely isolated using his experience?
You understand, the experience that if we had had it you might have ground results out against Blackpool, WBA, Spammers and Wolves.
Also - why is the assumption that if he had got that player with experience that he wanted, he would have went on to get another and another and another, until ouor team was completely remodelled with duffsters - I see no reason whatsoever to believe he wanted to do that.

We were aware of what it would take to buy him. Our guys went and spok to Ajax, but for the money Harry believed it would be better spent elsewhere. This being because he saw him as too similar to vdv!

You mean like the 20m Levy was prepared to spend on Suarez, but Redknapp thought he was too like Defoe ?
Or the 40+ million he was given to spend on three strikers already proven to be not top drawer.
There are various reasons we are not in the CL, but the single largest reason is our managers inability to coach and prepare teams for all occasions and his tactical ineptitude.

Where do people get the Defoe thing from? He said he's too similar to VDV and that he wanted a striker to "lead the line" whether he's wrong or not, he didn't say anything about Defoe.

Exactly. I don't want Harry to be sacked but people need to realise Harrys way is to keep improving the squad as much as he can without coaching tactics etc..
Past chaimen have bowed to Harrys snide comments in the press "i'm down to the bare bones" etc.. but Levy thankgod has more sense than that. THFC will be here long after Harry has gone and if we're gonna continue to compete at the top end of the league than we need to do it from the sound financial model that Levy has installed.

I didn't mean football management per se .
The point I was making is that whatever you are managing you usually have to put up with interference and very rarely get the luxury of picking the people you want .

Yip, and we were rumoured to be ready to splash £35M.
All true
What a load of bull!!!! One of HRs conditions to join Spurs was no DoF so he could pick the players to buy. Well he's done f-all except waste money. DL has supported HR to the hilt. Blame HR not DL
I happen to agree with DL. We didn't, & still don't, need an aging RB, an aging overrated CDM and A. Carroll, as good as he is, will just cause our team to play like he's a strong Crouch, long balls from the back. Why have a great midfield if you're just going to bypass them every time?

This is the point I was making
Harrys targets may not have proved successful but they were his targets
Lefts methods may have been too risky and some what disrespectful
The key being they have been singing from different hymn sheets, there lies the problem
