We hear this season after season under Levy though.I'm not quite sure how you can say there's no plan when every one (including Ange) is saying we need to trim the squad first before incomings.
We've probably lined up a few deals to be able to pull the trigger if we get the players out that we need to get out. But we can't just keep on signing players with all the deadwood mulling around.
I assume we inquired about both Gift and Ernest and thought the price is too high for unproven talents (which I agree with), but those inquiries were escalated by dubious reporters on Twitter and as people do, they got overly attached to both.
The 'deadwood' argument.
I just find it hard to believe that we've had no offers for these players (other than N'Dombele).
What I can believe is that we continue to 'drive a hard bargain' which effectively means waiting until the last week of the window and losing out on our targets in the meantime.
I'm far from a life-long Levy basher. In fact I've spent a lot of time on here defending him.
But he's shit at transfer windows...there's not really much evidence otherwise IMO.
