So, he wants to move to us, we agree a fee, we offer the best signing on fee, the best wages, Champions League football, the chance to work with one of the best young coaches in the world..

..and he's still going to Chelsea. What is the point!?

I was deadly serious about protesting a few days ago. It's not entitlement, it's about keeping your eye on the ball in footballing terms, rather than running a some kind of sports related theme park, which is now clearly a very serious danger.

..Perhaps Wednesday is when Pochettino comes back to the UK to hand his notice in, and to be honest I wouldn't blame him.

What a lot of people seem to forget is that both Janssen and Nkoudou were on loan, so weren't even part of the first team squad at the end of last season. So, in Levy's mind, if we want to buy 3 players before the deadline, we'll need to shift FIVE players out FIRST!

This summer, the football team/squad clearly hasn't been a priority. The club voted for the early close of the window and therefore should've been more prepared for it.

Make me eat my words, Daniel.. Aurier, Sissoko, Nkoudou, Llorente, Janssen out.. Zaha, Kovacic, Grealish in.. Toby stays. We then know you mean business.

Right then, list of alternatives it is then.

From ambitious to more realistic: O.Dembele (on loan), Leon Bailey, Jadon Sancho, Hirving Lozano, David Neres, Ademola Lookman, Ismaila Sarr, Ollie Watkins, Demari Gray, Josh King

This window is looking like a complete disaster.

If Zaha is a back up, god knows who we are after. Martial or bust?

Massive shame if Zaha goes Chelsea, it's gutting really.

Martial looks to be first choice but if i'm honest I'd have much rather have just got Zaha in the bag as it seems less difficult. Looks likely we are going to end up with fuck all.

Gards also saying JG and Zaha were both backups. I’m lost at this point

It just sounds like spin. It always seems that when we fail to sign players, it's because they are just back ups.

Yet, Zaha has obviously rejected us and gone elsewhere and Grealish fell through because Levy was fannying about trying to get him on the cheap and then Villa get new owners.

So Zaha and JG are a no. United won’t sell us Martial no matter what Jose wants.

Let’s hope Lamela injury is not bad, and that we can manage without Son.

Deli and Lucas need to step up from last season and I’m sure they will.

What on Earth do we need to do to get players we want! Clearly it’s money? Or Agents money? He wanted CL???

Give Levy a prescription for something that makes him more likeable and less of a pedantic bastard? :cautious:

I must say it's well worth waiting for Breezer to give his input before jumping in the deep end. He's closest to Zaha deal.

If ITK is indeed accurate about us agreeing the fee and offering a better package to Zaha and he goes Chelsea, I'm officially #LevyOut.
I’m not a Levy fan but if this is the case then you can’t blame levy? Or am I missing some sarcasm in your post ?

Don't get me wrong, as annoyed as anyone else with the lateness of the moves, and not exact the bald ones biggest fan, but in this case what else could levy do than offer more money to Zaha and agree the deal with palace?

Well I’m only speculating, but if he’s always been a target for Poch then we could have gone in seriously earlier a few weeks ago when Chelsea were a mess with no manager.
