Understood. I am not bashing his ITK, Or even B&Y. I just didn't like the way he was dismissive of other's info himself. Smacks of double standards to me.

Believe me, I am not one for starting an ITK witch hunt. Pinches of salt and all that. It just seems that POTL has lost his manners. And my gran taught me that manners cost you nothing.

Told the 40m package Tottenham rejected from Chelsea for Luka Modric was £30m plus Alex.

I might have been tempted, but Levy had to stay true to his word

I think POTL has opened himself up to criticism with his arrogance and general twattishness regardless of the accuracy of his info.

I said it at the start of the window,i have no faith in Danny Levy and was laughed off by the happy clappers....one of them replied with the word... staggering and judge only when thw window closes

Well the proof is in the pudding

Little Danny will always be the same....penny pinching all the way till the end of the window

Of course there will be the usual theories/excuses i.e oh he's saving the money for the next manager,oh we tried but clubs keep changing the goalposts etc etc

For those expecting things to be different in Janaury....remember Danny Levy will never change...unless we are in the relegation zone and he has to protect his investment which is what happened in Harry's first window

Meanwhile expect to see more comical,suidical defending from Kaboul/Bassong

Harry sounded devastated on his SSN interview.

Something we don't know about?

Has Crouch actually gone?? Hasn't been confirmed and could've sworn I heard Talksport say it "slipped trough Stokes fingers but at least they got Palacios"??

There really can't be that much communication between Arry and Levy. Arry said on Sky Sports News in hsi car "Chelsea offered 40m for Luka, yesterday, don't know if thats true or not but thats what I heard."

It's almost like he knows as much as us!!!

I really think Parker will be the catalist to our attack. Walker will be like a new signing, and if we have 2 defensive midfielders we'll have one of them to cover on that side when he gets forward. I fancy Modric to move forward a bit and do more of his work closer to the opposition penalty box.

I think the 4-2-3-1 is the way forward for us now. Adebayor is the perfect fit for that system. Sure a better backup for him would have been great but those type of players are tough to get. I'd like to think we'll get Leandro in January anyway because it was always bound to be on Internacionals terms that one (when their season is over).

With Sandro and Parker in centre midfield we'll be a lot more solid at the back too. Less exposure for the 2 centre backs, so even if we're short and need Bassong to come in I think he'll do ok. We may renew our interest for Cahill in Jan too with only 6mths on his contract. That would be a great mid-season boost if it happens.

Not a great window but a very good one imo. The key was keeping our star players and adding one top class striker. The Parker signing will add what has been missing since Palacios went off the boil. I'm excited about the young prospects too this season, including the new blood we have in now. They could do a good job in the Europa and allow the senior players to rest for the League games.

I fancy us to really push for top 4 again this season. I think the Champs League really took it out of us last season. We will need to get 2 or 3 more quality players in for Champs League if we make it, but for this season I think we're good enough. It will be close between us, Arsenal and Liverpool but we're capable of another great season.
