I agree-but conversely could it be why Krueger blanked the whole deal out of hand because he knows Levy is unlikely to increase by more than a million or so rather than the £17 million extra he dreams of?Disagree with bentley, he was all about the bigger picture. DL had an asking price and refused to drop - this isn't him penny pinching, its about reputation. Teams know now that when they bid for a player they have to pay near his asking price, whether he'll go for free or not. DL couldve got 5m for Bentley but he chose to let him go for free instead to keep that reputation solid, and its probably made us way more than that with deals like livermore ect
