Unless you get off on really awkward dinners with people (which Levy might) then yes.
I'm sure Levy and Kenwright have a good relationship with lots of mutual respect (and hence I wouldn't put it past them to have a friendly dinner together), but yeah, it would be a weird thing to do in the middle of a negotiation.

100 million on those two. ?

That's nuts - I'd expect a hefty price tag on Winks and maybe a new deal on Dele to come out in the next financial year if that actually happened. There's be some creative accounting going on to help them with FFP.

Surely we wouldn’t spend 2/3 of our budget on them?

Would be madness.

It’s the Sun though, so wouldn’t take any notice tbh.
The sun has been somewhat reliable in the past for us tbf, although no idea if this guy is

I’m uneasy with spending that amount of wedge on those two tbh. Surely there are better players we could spend 100 mill on. Neither are world class and one of them only has around one years PL experience

The real question posed by that article is whether Levy opted for the grilled lobster for £58 or him and Ken settled for the fish of the day for £90.

Not at all. These men & women lunch all the time. It's part of being a football chairman/exec etc.

They're all just normal people doing business. They have working relationships. You can be sure if they've gone for scran, a deal will be struck!

I'm still convinced this is manufactured between the two clubs so we sign Richarlison but they can claim that Gordon isn't for sale.

I don't believe for a second we'd spend over £20m on him.

Maybe we buy before 30th and sell them Winksy next month? Would that make things work for them FFP wise, I'm not 100% on the rules.
