My word.
Some of the reactions on the deadline day thread are simply embarrassing. 'Levy out', 'Levy's fucked it up' and so on. Not enough facepalms in the world.
Vertonghen, Ajax's captain, 25 years old and destined to just get better and better. As good with the ball at his feet as you could ever hope to see from a CB, and capable of turning defence into attack in an instant.
Siggurdson, 7 goals in 18 games for Swansea last season, wanted by his old manager at Liverpool, and still only 22 years old.
Adebayor, who appears to have fallen in love with us after scoring a goal every other game last season.
Dembele, consistently excellent for Fulham, to the point that Alex Ferguson wanted him at Man U. But he chose us. 25 years old.
Lloris, one of the hottest young keepers in the world, and well placed now to learn from Brad's vast experience.
New contracts for Bale and Defoe.
And now Clint Dempsey. 29 years old so not one for the future, but one of the most tenacious attackers in the league, hard as nails, works his balls off and has an aggressive instinct for the goal. His club's player of the season for the second season in a row, and 4th on the football writers list behind RVP, Rooney and Scholes.
Yeah, we still need to fill the Modric void. Ideally, we need Moutinho. If we get him, we'll be top three contenders at the least. But even if we don't, we're looking damn strong.
Analysis, opinion, and criticism is fine. But "Levy out"? Really?
