Tbh I think it was wishful thinking. New stadiums cost money, and I think we'll be in a similar situation to Arsenal for a few years where just keeping hold of our best players is a victory, and a signing or two is a huge bonus. Of course it's worse now where a decent player in the current market costs almost 1/5 of a stadium.

Hoping I'm wrong, but we all know Levy is someone with a keen eye on financials.
Definitely don't think that we should be wasting money on dross just to placate the fans but Levy did say that the stadium wouldn't affect transfers.

ValYid saying that Poch is looking to develop youth, but seeing as he was supposedly given assurances of spending then it's definitely a forced hand. Levy can't just keep using Poch's excellent track record of developing youth as a safety net, he has to back him with top quality signings that challenge the first XI.

Clearly he doesn't have to :p

Maybe he wanted only his top targets and once it was clear they weren't happening he didn't want a Sissoko MkII happening so just vetoed the lesser players?

Which is fair enough, even though i don't believe there is A Sissoko MKII out there...:nailbiting:

Did I say that. Naming rights are big money, we don't have it as yet.
I remember the stadium being talked up be Levy years ago when a figure of £400m was mentioned. Delay and ditheringfor years has cost Levy/Lewis up to £500m in stadium costs.

You mean it’s costing season ticket holders up to £500m, right?

Loans anyone? With obligation to buy?

Touch & go, due to timeline. That is message I received. I know couple of the players I think they are, and shared that privately.

Let’s just focus on the itk rather than predict what Levy wants in this thread. Pitch forks and shotguns will be available after 17.01

Thanks again, Herc. A quality inbound loan with option to buy is fine in the Freud household right now
