Are you being obtuse on purpose ?

Levy has made it clear time and time again that we don't sell any of our players.

Periodically, clubs like United will tap up our players, as they did with Berbatov, Carrick, Bale, and Kane.

Berbatov and Carrick both have handed in transfer requests, and forced moves away from Spurs, but not before Levy relieved United of record fees.

With Bale, Levy promised him a dream move to Real, and Bale gave us one last good season before saying goodbye on good terms. Again, not before Levy extracted record fees.

With Kane, the tapping up fell on deaf ears, because Kane is one of our own, and will stay at Spurs for his entire career.

If there was any credibility in what you say, Kane is the acid test, because the player doesn't want to leave. So, if Levy was more interested in cash than the player, he would be touting him round all the money clubs. He isn't, and he won't. Your argument ends right there.
Who is this mystical Spiv Levy? He has sold more family silver than Ratners. <laugh>

Carrick didn’t hand in a transfer request.

That explains why Levy has tied a price tag around his neck and put him in the window then <laugh>
 
It makes me laugh how the spuds think transfers happen differently at their club. ‘We only sell players who have asked to leave’

Yeah okay, so the way transfers work is that the player, agent and clubs speak to each other and the player then tells his club that he wants to leave. If the fee is agreed then the player is sold.

So basically the same as every other club then <laugh>


Nonsense. The inference has always been that Levy is a willing seller and deliberately sells our best players. Which is utter rubbish.

Most of those players Levy fought as hard as possible to convince or make them stay. In Modric’s case he even succeeded for a year.

The reality is that if a player is absolutely determined to go there’s very little any chairman can do.
 
Carrick didn’t hand in a transfer request.

How do you know ?

And even if he didn't, and Levy wanted the money rather than the player, that's one player since Levy has been in charge.

Put who in the window?

If you're talking about Kane, that story of a £310m price tag on him appeared in The Sun ffs !
<laugh>

And even if there is any element of truth in the story - which is highly unlikely - that price is so clearly out of any club's price range as to say, "he's not for sale."

Can you really not see that?

I would see it a lot clearer if Levy just said "not for sale", as it is it just sounds like "let's talk about it".
 
...and Levy will still extract a record fee.

He's a very smart man Levy, he has the best of every deal. That reminds me, we have a midfielder at Newcastle called Diame who is "the next Sissoko". Should we start the bidding at £50m?

You could, but if no one is interested what’s the point?

Why do you think he did? It was an amicable transfer. He was ****ing superb for United.

He was a good player with us, and exactly what Fergie needed.

Perhaps Levy knew that we wouldn’t be able to keep him, and an amicable compromise was negotiated ahead of the move. Who knows?

What I do know is this. If the Carrick of yesteryear was at Spurs now, no way would Levy willingly sell him, and certainly not to United.

Levy has said it. Just because he doesn’t repeat himself every time a fabricated story appears in the sensationalist gutter press isn’t an indication that he’s changed his mind.

Anyway, you keep dreaming that Kane will end up at United.
<laugh>
 
Chidexxy: Even though Ole wouldn't admit it, this game could end up becoming more like a job interview, whoever wins, gets the united job, just imagine what a victory in this game would do to the remainder of United's season.

Haven’t you listened to a word that Poch has said, you muppet?

It’s also the price you quoted from the BBC’s gossip column as you seldom have an opinion that isn’t printed. The most anybody would pay for Banjo is 275 million slightly less than Hazard.

You talk about a manager who in nine years over three or four clubs has won **** all as if he was a God which is kinda funny as you said the same about AVB & Tim Sherwood. <laugh>
