I would be happy with Dembele - one of the most skillful players I have seen and is so good to watch. Rides a challenge like Jenna Jameson riding a dick but if AVB was told you have 20m plus around 35m from the Modric deal to spend then it is up to AVB to decide how to spend it. Ok I wouldnt want Levy to spend 30m on Saha but AVB said so but I would expect Levy to back AVB properly.

@jetsetyid @chrisevs79 JJ, is AVB keen on Dembele? @akqayid seems to think not.

Looks like that's somewhat of a confirmation on DL overriding? Or at least leaving the possibility open.
In any case, whatever gets Dembele to WHL is all that matters to me.

Honestly. If we don't sign a keeper, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with us.

@jetsetyid JJ, why aren't we/Levy in overdrive in advance of a season start? Are cost-risk assessments of this lastminute-dot-com BS done?
The original JJetset @jetsetyid
@PeterClapp Huge upside financially by delaying incomings. Huge downside for the manager and his squad.

Apart from the '2 paraded at yesterday's game' has hertyid got a reasonable track record? If we all know who they are it must be moutinho, leandro and willian. Now that would be an awesome window, can't see us completing all of those though, in fact we would be doing well to get one of them and a couple of cheaper alternatives. If daws does go for decent money, maybe that is the extra injection of cash needed to complete the deals. I also wonder if Avb has sacrificed Lloris to add to the moutinho fund.

I can dig it. Would love Dembele or Moutinho here.

Jagger is fucking prophetic if that is the next line
It's next, but only if you play it backwards.

So AVB will be back backed....with the additions Levy wants ultimately?
That just doesn't seem conducive to a long term successful plan/set up
I understand its far from simple, AVB likes a player, AVB gets that player etc but those latest tweets don't sound good.
Personally I would love Dembele, but I would rather the manager was getting in the players he wanted. If they're not feasible, then they have to come to realistic compromises.
Would be interesting to know if AVB would accept Dembele as a second choice etc, or he flat out just doesn't want him.

I mean, in all honesty, Dembele has to be aware of this if that's the case.
After his performance this past weekend, I have a hard time imagining him being short on offers. If he doesn't feel satisfied that AVB wants him, he can simply say no to a move to Tottenham, and I'm sure others will line up.

Maybe that was what was meant earlier when JJ said it wasn't the fee that was the problem?
