Do we know that he was a Levy signing instead of a Paratici one?Personally I was excited about this guy, so didn't mind Levy meddling with it as much as usual, but I guess that's me told. Got to get baldy off scouting duty, clearly.
They’ve agreed a deal for Montiel, so doubt they’ll need him with Aurier doing well for them too.back to forest on loan is my guess

You say that with such certainty, do we know that for sure or is it just reports?It was Paratici. He was scouting him and Johnson at Forest last season.
Thanks, I don't know why Levy has been getting the blame for this signing.It was Paratici. He was scouting him and Johnson at Forest last season.
Nah.It was Paratici. He was scouting him and Johnson at Forest last season.
Why did Levy undermine both Conte and Paratici to sign a player neither wanted?Nah.
Potential future value of the ‘asset’ because we are n.o1 a business not a football club in his eyes.Why did Levy undermine both Conte and Paratici to sign a player neither wanted?

I posted this before he was signed.Here's the thing. He is not Conte's choice, what he is, is acceptable.
There are others that Conte prefers but understands there has to be a compromise somewhere due to competition regulations. Spence makes the most sense as far as price is concerned and Levy thinks Spence is the best way around the situation financially but there comes a point when it isn't and we are close to that already.
As I say not Conte's pick, but it's something he believes he can work with as long as he gets his other positions filled to his standards and requirements.
We have been exploring other ways around it which is why Madison and JWP have been linked. Neither of these are Conte picks either, but a compromise has to be made somewhere, which as I say, AC fully accepts.
Was Spence a Pleat special? I forget.

Think Dele was probably the last Pleat special, as far as public knowledge goes.
Don't want to give you a disagree here but Pleat's still got Levy's ear and his name crops up occassionally. I always get the impression Levy takes a lot of "advice" on targets from outside our official structure.
