Why does everyone assume that Levy is at fault here?
Or that United have come in and just bullied through with one bid of £60m last night?
Surely it's possible that just like in our other dealings, we've been talking all summer, and only now are United willing to meet our demands. And actually Levy hasn't blinked first, but he's got a bloody good deal for a guy who's been unfit for most of the year, and available for £25m in a year.

Kane got played in the league due to injuries.... Look how that turned out!
Both Sanchez and Foyth have alot of potential, but until they play regular we won't know how far they will go. Could end up like Kane, Alli, Dier and Winks and make it even though there were talk they wouldn't be good enough at the time.

Also.....4. Could we really trust a disgruntled Toby or more importantly would Pochettino trust him? No point in having a world class CB that's not 100% committed.

Can we take this moment to agree Toby’s hair looks like utter shit?
I pretended I thought it looked cool for years but Jesus Christ that’s a 29 year old grown man with that on his head

No Martial in return? ? same old story
We will never be seen as a big club by others when we just get bullied by other ones

I don't know where the idea that he has great hair came from. His hair is shit, even if he stays it's shit.

Not disagreeing with your general point but didn't Sanchez play pretty much every game for us last year, while Toby only managed about 8 decent games plus a few more looking extremely rusty?

What, like Arsenal with Sanchez, Chelsea with Matic and Costa, Liverpool with Coutinho...?
Christ, even City missed out on their first choice signings of Sanchez and Jorginho.

He had to go certainly although one hopes that there was a method to leaving it this late in the window. Frustrating if United do let Martial go to Chelsea but that's their shout. I know that you do get the 'it's all about to melt down' mob but people are entitled in general to have a moan over the way that transfers in and out have been going. There's a happy medium between being totally negative and thinking that everything that happens at the club is for the best, so to speak.

1. Not if he's needed at DM.
2. If you noticed... Sanchez was still listed so it wasn't our 2 best CBs out. Christ if it was our 2 best injured it would be even worse!
3. I wasn't really referring to Toby staying... more that not replacing him I feel leaves us short.

He did, and probably should have said he came in and played better than most expected too. My point was more that even if we lose a player who is great for us, we might have better potential waiting already ( as the players I mentioned before )

We also didn't "pay £40m+ for a defensive prospects" 12 months ago. Things change.

Allegedly selling a player for 60m. Let’s see if we buy one to strengthen for the same price. My arse.

Arsenal got a player they wanted in return
Chelsea were not asking for anyone in return for Matic and were happy to sell
Chelsea didnt sell Costa to a rival
Coutinho handed a transfer request in...wasnt sold to a rival either and was made to stay until it suited Liverpool and they had got a really good player lined up to replace
City won the league and signed Mahrez to add to their quality squad
We wanted Martial and Sancho in return for Walker and Toby...we have not got either and still sold the players to rivals. 2 players may I add who were part of the best back 4 in the league previously.
Are you just ignoring the facts to suit your pro-levy agenda?

Whilst in theory yes that outcome is possible..... how often does something like that really happen? It could easily (and probably more likely) go the other way and a good young player like Foyth could get ruined because he is thrown in too early.

Why is everything pro Levy? You'll be tilting at windmills next. Have fucking word with yourself.
