That's a proper f**k you Chelsea.....

He can't possibly go back on that statement. Told'ya

agreed. Although im far from convinced he'll stay, i think the speed of this release screams how serious we are about keeping him. But, unfortunately, player power speaks, and if he hands in a transfer request, we havent got a choice. We then demand 50 million, TRY and buy an adequate replacement, and sue the f**k out of that filthy russian for tapping up.

Actually he came out and said they had been tapped up and wanted to leave and would get the best price remember it well... He wrote quite a long article..

don't remember that any link?

Short memory? Google it and you will find numerous quotes from Levy and there is in fact a similiar statement on our OS about players, long contracts and not entertaining any offers....

we_all_loved_freund · Jun 18, 2011

Everybody is comparing the situation to Fabregas last year.

I think the situation is more analogous to the Gareth Barry situation a couple of years ago. He was the club captain, got tapped up by Liverpool and did a big interview in the NOW stating he wanted to leave.

Villa just said no and he had a great season before leaving for City. We have to do the same. If we don't get CL next season, let him go with our blessing...

"Today's public comments by Manchester United's
manager, announcing that he has made an offer for Dimitar and is
confident that the deal will go through with time working in their
favour, is a blatant example of sheer arrogance and interference with
one of our players. It is also probably one of the worst offences by
any manager in the Premier League to date and is unbelievably
hypocritical given his recent comments in respect of Cristiano Ronaldo
and Real Madrid.

"This comes after a series of events, dating back to
last summer, which have shown Manchester United to be in breach of
Premier League (PL) rules. As a result, we have today made an official
complaint to the PL about the conduct of Manchester United. Benitez
made similar comments in respect of Robbie recently and we made an
official complaint to the PL about the conduct of Liverpool earlier
this week.

"The behaviour of both clubs has been disgraceful.
We told both clubs very early on that we had no interest in selling
Robbie or Dimitar, respectively, and that they should refrain from
pursuing the player. Both clubs arrogantly chose to ignore this request
and we now have evidence that both clubs have systematically been
working to prise the players away from us, outside of PL rules of
conduct.

"Our subsequent position has been severely
compromised by both clubs making their intentions widely known and
indeed making contact with the players and their agents, without the
Club's permission.

"I have absolutely no wish to sell either player and
to date we have not accepted any offer for either. However, when a
player's head is turned and their commitment is absent, particularly
when they occupy key positions such as that of striker, they become a
negative influence in a team dressing room in which they were once a
positive addition and influence. This is the situation we now have on
our hands, with both Dimitar and Robbie having made it clear that they
wish to leave for Manchester Utd and Liverpool respectively.

"Irrespective of the outcome and futures of Robbie
and Dimitar, we are continuing to seek to bring in quality, talented
players for the future, who want to play in a Spurs shirt."

NOT the same as what he just said!!!!!! He's admitted there that we might sell them (but had no interest in doing so), on Luka he said we will NOT sell him.

Cavehillspur · Jun 18, 2011

Well done Levy, that needed to be done. :clap:

If Chelsea still pursure Luka after that statement can we report them? Bunch of horrible ****s?

Transfer request means nothing... he has a 5 year contract...

We could feasibly keep him for 3 years and sell him then if he wont sign a new contract.. he would still have 2 years left and a good sell on value...

true, but he did say he he had no wish to sell. And it was only because Keane and Berbatov had their heads turned that we were selling
