Thanks for reminding me of that! Thanks Levy!Yeah, we didn't want to pay the £100k+ a week and then Liverpool swooped in. It was the same with Wijnaldum as well.
God, imagine if we signed Mane & Wijnaldum that summer
We definitely would have won the league in that last season at WHL.
Easy to dismiss £100k per week as affordable now, but to say it would have broken our wage structure at the time is an understatement. It's more than Eriksen & Vertonghen (two of the first names on the teamsheet) earned combined in 2016!Yeah, we didn't want to pay the £100k+ a week and then Liverpool swooped in. It was the same with Wijnaldum as well.

Not sure why you DM'd me instead of replying here, but if you read my post (#7685, just below yours) my stance on Mane / Wijnaldum is explained.Thanks for reminding me of that! Thanks Levy!
DIdn't want to reply to you in here because this is not the 2016-17 transfer thread. You are quite right about the wage structure. My complaint about Levy was more about his inability to get any decent players in and refusal to delegate such operations to others. Wanyama & Janssen I could understand but Nkoudou, Sissoko & Maximus Tainio were hardly of the standard of Mane & Wijnaldum. Apologies for not making myself clear.Not sure why you DM'd me instead of replying here, but if you read my post (#7685, just below yours) my stance on Mane / Wijnaldum is explained.
The "DOH!" rating was not for your desire to have signed them, but for your sarcastic "Thanks Levy!" remark.
My earlier post gives a decent explaination of why, but perhaps you're unaware of how carefully our wage structure had to be managed during Poch's era, with a constant balancing act of trying to offer new signings a competitive wage without causing unrest in the squad.
Mane was not better than Son, Kane or Eriksen, but was asking for circa double their wages. Surely you can understand the issue there?
So perhaps you should be saying "Thanks Levy for somehow convincing a squad of players that was good enough to be in the top 3 for 3 consecutive seasons to stay at the club despite being on a fraction of what our rivals would pay them" rather than taking a cheap dig at him for what was probably the correct decision at the time.
Sorry, but lately it seems that more and more posts on SC are laced with anti-Levy bias even when there is no reason for it. It got old years ago, so it would be nice to occasionally get through a single page of comments in a player thread without encountering it. Plenty of genuine opportunities for everyone to criticise/complain without creating them.
Any body who didn't appeciate Moussa's input at Spurs is just a total ??????
No farewell message from Moussa that I can see, bit disappointing
our fans have been attacking him, scapegoating him, and begging for him to leave every year since he joined.
don't think he really feels the need to say goodbye to them.
fair enough.The fans have sung for him and supported him from the start. Virgins on Twitter and forums that he’d never read might be a different story.
