What business.... We haven't done any business. I agree if we'd made a signing or two it would be premature to judge BUT with 10 days we haven't a made single signing... We have had 2 months to do that.

As I said I judge our business by the end of the window so couldn’t give a single fuck about so far.

I would rather VDV for 36 games than Jo Cole from the beginning.

Every time i see comments to the effect that we must wait until the transfer window closes to judge Levy...WHY?

Can you imagine you in the sack with this freaking hot chick you giving it your all. You doing things you've never done to any woman and then she must wait till the end to judge your performance:cautious:.

you good or you fucking louzy in the sack. No need to wait for the encore to know it.

Yeah right.. It doesn't freaking work that way.

You are at work and get given a dealing of next week, 2 days later you haven't finished so are sacked, have no money to go out and meet "hot chicks". Yet if you were given until your deadline you would have finished still had a job and had money to go meet "hot chicks"

This is why you wait until the transfer window is closed.

I'll be honest, i don't think analogies are for you.

You all sound utterly brainwashed.

We used to sign greats like Greaves, Lineker, Gascoign, Sheringham, Klinsmann, Ginola,

Now we're struggling to sign Jack Fucking Grealish from a broke Villa and you all think it's fair that we can't even get that over the line.... then they get a buyer and he's too rich for us.

You remind me of battered wives that think the punishment they get is right and it's what they deserve.

Is this your first Levy discussion?

The problem with Levy is he's only good for certain things - at certain times.

Building a world class stadium - YES
Running a solvent, stable business and making profit - YES
Buying young potential and good players on the cheap - YES
Getting a last minute bargain of a player that isn't world class - YES
buying world class players in their prime - NO

Hence the reason Baldini imho was superb for us in terms of his abilities. Forget the fact that the players were hit and miss, with a manager like Poch I feel a DoF was essential and what we have been missing. It would have given us a chance to buy the players we needed and which Poch wanted.

The sad fact is, Levy has let Poch and the club down on players.
We needed at least 3 quality players; someone up top, someone in the middle and a CB. Poch clearly had names of his preferred players and he clearly said we needed to be brave months ago. Levy should have gone all out for those 3 players - but he didn't. Now we're in familiar territory again. No players, TW closing and none of the preferred 1st choice players available due to Levy faffing around.
You cant say it will all work out cos it wont. Martial was our #1 target. (Why I have no idea cos Utd has never sold a world class player to any PL club - especially us) so they should have had someone else on that list equal in quality to Martial and said to Utd take it or leave it and then swiftly move onto the other top attacking target. And we should have already secured the services of said quality striker by now. Instead we've wasted the whole TW on Martial like a person drooling over a Ferrari in the showroom knowing full well we cant afford the car or the salesman wont sell to us cos he doesn't like us! We need to get over ourselves and Levy should have stopped this stupid game he plays every TW, going for players from clubs that would never wish to sell to us in the first place!!!

What i'm certain of is that we absolutely wont get the players Poch wanted as his first choice and instead, we'll get some odd players that we either pay over the odds for (just for Levy to say to the fans and Poch, 'look, here, I've proved, i'm ballsy enough to pay large on players'), or he'll buy a great player that was just never what we were after or needed.

Even when the TW closes early, Levy still conspires to cock up our season preparations by not buying the right players before preseason tours and gives the manager no time again to get the player ready...
Earlier on in the TW we were interested in Shaqiri - a no brainer player with skills and PL experience that would be perfect for us, but due to faffing around Pool get him and we get knocked back on a Championship player. All this BS about homegrown ITK... WALOB I say. Do you see any of the other top 4 teams worried about homegrown rules??? Their answer is "homegrown or lose a spot? Sod it, I'll buy world class and you can stick your extra spot! I'll put on a world class game changer for CL and you can dick around sticking on your 2nd rate player instead cos you just wasted that spot on someone that aint a game a changer"
That's their mentality. That's a winning mentality. Where has homegrown got us.....the Title? FA Cup?

We always mess around in the TW when we should go all out when we need to. We never get the player we need and we wont this window either.

Edit. BTW I will grant you VdV was a great player as a last minute deal, but that's the only 1 Levy has ever bought - it was a one-off.

Jeez, our days of hreaking the British transfer record are long gone. Probably be a good long while before we do it again too.

We ended up selling Gazza and Waddle to stop the club going to the wall, btw. Worth noting.

If you want chairmen of the quality of Scholar and Sugar back to replace the current set up just say so.

If we haven't signed anyone by then I'll take a few weeks off from this place mate.
The natives are already restless, it'll be fucking carnage by then.
Well yes I don't think I will appear on here that day it will look like a scene from GOT blood and gore everywhere I will check in the day after.
I don't know why everyone is getting arsy I'm certain bodies will come in no more than 2/3 But I'm sure the club will deliver.

I remember signing players like Today, Scales, mabizela and Rasiak.

Signing players like Eriksen, lloris, Alli, Jan, Toby, Lamela and Lucas are a step up from them!

Agreed, a lot of people are going on like it's their first transfer window.
We always do this.

Id hate to be a mod on TDD.

We're in for Zaha.

Zaha? Fucking shit. We can do better than that. What about that teenager at Dortmund? Get him in. Pure quality. Takes us to the next level - guaranteed.

Looking a bit wobbly on Zaha.

WTAF?!!!!! Get him, Levy, you pussy. Back the boss. I don't care if he costs £90m!!! Guy takes us to the next level - guaranteed.

We don't need to sell our squad, we need to build on it.

that's correct we need to build on it, but instead of deals ranging from 8-20m, we are now needing to spend 50-70m to improve, and Zaha and Martial are not good enough to pay that amount out.
