Hmm begs the question why is he saying all of this about the fee and why now. My guess is he could be facing some discontent within his club as to why £10m was shelled out on a player who has been injury prone of late and got injured again on his debut and this is his way of deflecting...

Or may just be an innocent case of his accustomed verbal diarrhoea. Lol

There is absolutely ZERO evidence to support any discontentment with AVB at Zenit - You might want to check and see how he's doing with them this season so far before making any sorts of guesses around this.

One only needs to look no further than Tim Sherwood for being a first class practitioner of verbal diarrhea. But then, I'm sure you were happy to see him replace AVB judging by this baseless attack.

He is talking about Harry, not AVB...

Reference was to Appy Arry not AVB.

Harry doesn't just shit anywhere.
His self regarding crap is always accurately aimed.
Usually it says:
'Look at me I'm the King of this dungheap'
I will be surprised if he makes it much beyond Xmas.

Doesn't sound very Levy-like, rejecting a £14m bid only to sell for £10m.

Also a question of timing. Sounds like the bid came in well before the window shut when Poch may not have fully decided on who he wanted in/out. Zenit moved on and ended up taking Javi Garcia and by deadline day all we probably had was the QPR deal. I am actually glad to see Levy take this sort of pragmatic approach given history with shifting unwanted players off the books. Sounds like Poch's moan about the squad being too big got through.

I would agree. I think we all know that underneath the 'I can't work a text and write like a 3 year old' facade is a very shrewd and calculating man especially with his good mates in the press.

Sounds like more verbal shit from Redknapp. He can not stop talking about us can he.

Agree it was probably just timing... Allowing poch time to assess everyone.

However, Harry is also under a bit of pressure right now, and he's known to find ways to blow his own trumpet in these situations. I'd be taking this with a big pinch of salt.

How would he know? He spouts a lot of rubbish and needs to stop talking about Spurs.

I'm guessing he dont like AVB, its a big club

AVB and Sandro always had a visibly strong relationship.

I distinctly remember the picture of AVB with Sandro at his birthday party I think it was - Sideshow Bob was in the background.
