21 points between them last season and a playing style that probably suits him better, so it’s not a cut and dry decision either way.Can’t see why he would move from forest to Brentford

But I'm still not convinced an offer from Brentford would convince him to leave Nottingham Forest. As I understand it he hasn't been hankering to get away from Forest at any cost it's just that he's ambitious and obviously has his eye on the main chance and Spurs represent that opportunity so he's all for it.21 points between them last season and a playing style that probably suits him better, so it’s not a cut and dry decision either way.
According to reports they have been tracking him all summer. Surely they wouldn’t put in a bid if they didn’t think there was at least a chance of getting him. I agree that he’d very likely pick us over them, after all the reports say we still favourites, but if he only wanted us I would have thought Brentford would have distanced themselves much like Newcastle did with Maddison.But I'm still not convinced an offer from Brentford would convince him to leave Nottingham Forest.

The ITK’s would know more but I believe he has been handling most of the deals now as we don’t have a DoF and Munn isn’t working in an official capacity. Could be wrong of course.Am I right in assuming when we send Levy to conclude the deal we’re confident of getting it done?
He kinda finishes the deal a lot of the time?

It’s been a recurring theme that when it’s reported that Levy is personally involved it gets done shortly thereafter.Am I right in assuming when we send Levy to conclude the deal we’re confident of getting it done?

Intermediaries do a lot of the heavy lifting for Levy don’t they?The ITK’s would know more but I believe he has been handling most of the deals now as we don’t have a DoF and Munn isn’t working in an official capacity. Could be wrong of course.
We can’t do a loan with obligation for Sanchez he’s out of contract next summer.If they are up against FFP then this gets done. Sanchez probably goes the other way as a loan with obligation so that it doesn’t get accounted for until next summer and they get to book £40M+ profit on the sale
For sure he won’t do everything but I also wouldn’t assume that just because Levy is more actively involved now that it’s close to being done. Seems like it’s a tricky deal due to their interest in a few of our players, other clubs interested and the time left in the window. A lot of moving parts. I’d expect Levy to be heavily involved with every deal when time is tight as there’s not much room for protracted negotiations.Intermediaries do a lot of the heavy lifting for Levy don’t they?
Given a baseline to work on.
Seeing Forest bid and negotiating for a few players hints at this being quite far along to.
Think you forgot a decimalLevy just whips out his 12 inch flopster and schlop’s it onto the deal table like a giant flump and the opps just have to yield to him
There are plenty of small/slight players who’ve made a real impact in the premier league. It’s all about getting a little strength to ride challenges. Modric, Silva, etc etc all managed to do that quite well.
I keep thinking back to Gil’s performance against Palace last season where he was very very good. I’d like to see him given a chance too. I see him being more useful on the left than on the right though.
Even the purchase of sanchez won’t hurt them from that perspective. They book the 40M gain on johnson all up front and then amortize the purchase of Sanchez over 5 years. So if Sanchez is 15M, forest still make 37M (ie 40 - 3) profit this year.If they are up against FFP then this gets done. Sanchez probably goes the other way as a loan with obligation so that it doesn’t get accounted for until next summer and they get to book £40M+ profit on the sale
Everyone seems to be on it now.
Bit strange seeing an admin having a bit of a go at an ITK. You think it's something that could happen back of house instead.
