Have we actually got any facts?Treating feelings as facts, there.

Exactly. The CFO doesn’t go to the CEO everytime he/she signs off in stuff within the allocated budget.Not true. Head of the appropriate department normally would
Have we actually got any facts?
Even if we do I think people are now going to complain he wasn't on the tour.Still seems like we're buying VdV to me
I think people are over reacting.
There is absolutely no guarantee he is better than what we have. I could understand if it was a world beater we were messing around with. Laporte for example.
He's quick, but looks like he can't win a header. The prem is a lot more physical and faster than anything he has ever played. Looked shakey at the U21s just gone at times.
If we are shifting Kane to Bayern maybe we are having a rethink if the transfer. Or maybe it will still get done. Let's see.
You know so much about Ange and what he thinks or likes are you sure you were not on the committee who chosen him. None of the ITK finger pointed at individuals or the reason for the delay yet we all blaming and speculating, yes the ITK said so they were wrong before and they will be wrong in future nothing is guaranteed in football. Let’s stop the melt down and wait and see.But the fact we’ve very publicly courted new CBs contradicts that. If as you say, the reason Levy hasn’t completed on VDV is because “Ange wants to give everyone a chance”, why was Levy negotiating for new CBs in the first place. We’ve had corroboration from 3 of our most trusted itks that the deal for VDV was completed last week. Surely that indicates that Ange has already concluded (what every supporter and his dog knows) that we do indeed require new personnel in the centre of a flat-back 4 high-line defence, otherwise he wouldn’t have sanctioned that much publicised search/negotiation for new CBs; or at least looked to keep it under wraps. Isn’t it more conceivable that, as per our most respected ITKs, a deal for VDV was finalised, but then Levy has tried to “renegotiate terms in our favour”. (And who knows, perhaps he’ll do just that and people will lord him for doing so.) But given the timeline of events, and Levy’s “previous” for trying to extract the maximum value from a deal, isn’t that more credible than “Ange wants to give Dier a change to to see if he can operate in a system for which he’s woefully unsuited”?
And the same negative ITK before manager search, and during Porro deal and when Maddison was being linked….sometimes things work out ok, sometimes they don’t.Didn’t we get some negative ITK along the same lines just before we got Deki fully signed?
Just need to see how it plays out.
Are you new here?You know so much about Ange and what he thinks or likes are you sure you were not on the committee who chosen him.

We definitely need some full clarification on this either way in the next couple of days.
Are we still working on this deal?
Or is it dead?
This limbo isn’t good for anyone.
Such is the inherent nature of limbo.This limbo isn’t good for anyone.
We usually work with intermediaries do we not?Don’t expect any news until after the tour imo
Especially knowing Levy is there now too
Don't forget all the whinging about whinging and then the whinging about people whinging about people whingingYep. And when we sign him, the next whinge will about not getting Tapsoba, and IF we get Tapsoba, the next whinge will be that we haven’t given away all our unwanted players etc…etc…

He probably has to sign off spend.I thought levy wasn't doing much with transfers anymore, or just certain ones that are bigger, or has that changed again?
He probably has to sign off spend.
I'm assuming he has to be involved, because fabio is gone and Scott Munn hasn't started yet.
There was an article about his start being delayed, due to contractual issuesWhere's this Munn stuff come from?
