No idea if the story is true or not, but we always leave ourselves open to being GAZUMPED with Levy's 'see who blinks first' negotiating stance.

A player actively wanting to join us is no guarantee that Levy will be able to agree a deal for him, with Barkley being the prime example.

I expect a lot of people will ignore the story because it’s the Sun but frankly they have somehow been the most reliable outlet for Spurs transfer news over the past couple of windows.

With hindsight, I'm glad that we were gazumped for Barkley.

Not that it'll matter if it's true or not, there is a large chunk of people on here (not saying me) underwhelmed with the link to Grealish ... Every cloud for some.

Here we go. Let’s just pay what everyone wants straight away. As an aside I wonder how many of their fans want Grealish as opposed to Fekir?

Whilst I think many of us appreciate the good work you do in sourcing so many articles, you do come across as slightly annoying sometimes.

I get particularly baffled at your continuous need to shut down any other poster who dares to have the nerve to post an article themselves. Your above response obviously showcases an obsessive need to have control over the article side of the forum and be the Dovahkin of articles.

Keep up the great work on what you do, but maybe try not to be so possessive about it

Speaking of shutting things down, I’m shutting down any spats which may be growing in this thread. Stick to the player link people or soon you’ll be in threads talking about the confusion over loss of access.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion about Levy's negotiating style, however not all opinions are created equal.

A take it or leave it offer is the correct approach in this situation, if a company is in a crippled state and you want to buy up their IP your bid should be so low that they will feel like they've been royally fucked but they know they have to accept it.

That's what we're doing here, we've left an offer on the table and we won't blink. It's also not like we're sitting around and doing nothing else whilst waiting for Villa to blink, business doesn't work like that.

You know, there's only one way to stop them...
