The lad never gets a break. Wouldn't happen at any other top club.
True, but we do rely on him an awful lot. Maybe we should sign Iniesta in summer to give him some competition

Personally, I'm glad Levy showed a degree of restraint with those three targets.
I do like the look of Carroll, although, he has as much chance as being the next Michael Bridges as he does Alan Shearer. £35+ million is a ridiculously exuberant fee for a player with questionable fitness issues and an off-the-field attitude that could see him do a stretch inside if he's not careful.
If memory serves correctly with Neville - we made an offer of £2 million which was labelled "derisory" by Moyes. Are we to extrapolate from that choice of word that Everton were after double if not triple that amount? Way over the odds for a 34 year old with no sell on value. It wouldn't have been an issue if he would have had the same effect on us as McAllister had when he joined Liverpool, but I doubt it somehow.
Sullivan and Gold made it quite clear that they would never sell Parker to us. To renege on that well publicised statement would have meant that they would have been persona non grata with the fans.
One thing to consider; had we been successful with Parker and Neville (I certainly wasn't against the former, by the way) then would we have seen the emergence of Sandro? Baring in mind he only got his chance due to injuries sustained by others.
It doesn't, we made an offer of 250k for their club captain :lol:
Good. I'm glad Levy sent that not too discreet message to whoever's idea it was to go after Phil fucking Neville.
I've been critical of Harry in the past but that team tonight tried everything it could but was just missing that something .
As anyone who has ever been a manager knows , you never really get the chance to manage . You just have to make the best of the cards you have been dealt , shifting sands and interfering superiors .
Professional football people will be able to see that Harry was seriously short changed by Levy and he will be hot property come the end of the season . We will be lucky to have him next season and personally I will be surprised if he doesn't walk in the Summer .
We can all point to matches we could have won but it is six transfer windows since Berbatov has left and the club has been unwilling to replace him .
We have truly spoiled the ship for a halfpenny worth of tar .
What is worse is knowing that you spend through the nose for your tickets but the funds will not be released to mend matters in the summer .
Harry's not exactly left a golden legacy at his past clubs. It's Levy's job to look past this six months, next season and the season after that.
Can I just say, Critisism is probably constructive at this point but people need to be aware of facts.
During the Summer, we were dicked about by Luis Fabiano. This boy was going to sign. Harry met and lunched with the guy and his people. This deal was as good as done. Fabiano Fucked THFC over, for a new contract.
During January, Harry was clear from day one. GET ME ANDY CARROLL! Did it happen? and yet there were bids flying around on deadline day (pr stunt if you ask me) for anything from the spanish league that has scored a goal!
Yes Harry wanted Neville, Yes Harry wanted Parker! Yes Harry wanted Carroll!
No Levy didnt want Neville, No Levy didnt want Parker enough and BIG FAT NO did Levy want Carroll!

Levy equals no ambition
Was on the fence but last two windows proves this point
Where's our stadium? Full of bullshit and hot air
6th at best and selling players to man u, staring up at arse and cheatski
Enjoy our future people
Fair play on Levy.
Why the feck would we neeed Phil neville and Scott Parker? ARe we short on midifelders?
Andy Carroll for 35m? No thanks.
Sick and tired of the dross HR is trying to buy. Zero knowledge of world football, unless its a player hes seen on MOTD
:clap:Redknapp wasted £40m on dross like Defoe, Keane and Crouch.
He then hesistated and was indecisive with his next £40m and missed out on everyone completely (twice).
Levy is a hero. The best thing to happen to the club since Burkinshaw.
It is exactly how it has gone down mate.
Call it speculation, but without taking this into account you're just wasting you're breath with all due respect!
What about suarez?

You mean like the 20m Levy was prepared to spend on Suarez, but Redknapp thought he was too like Defoe ?
Or the 40+ million he was given to spend on three strikers already proven to be not top drawer.
There are various reasons we are not in the CL, but the single largest reason is our managers inability to coach and prepare teams for all occasions and his tactical ineptitude.
Yep, thats just what El Tel was telling me the other night, just after we beat Chelsea.
(I love the suggestion that someone who knows about management reads this site!)
Harry has spent over 40 million on the strikers that he wanted!
You have no idea whether the club was willing to put money up for a striker. You're guessing.
Harry said in January 'the Chairman's made money available'. Who knows what we were willing to spend?
