I can only think with a £6m fee that there is permanent damage/injury. There is no way we should be letting him go for that if there is no permanent damage.
I've turned the spare room into a transfer hotline. My lucky pants on awaiting another frenzy of nail biting anticipation . The team to be fine tuned to Pochs master plan . Maybe a top striker to fire us to Top 4, or a masterful playmaker , or a true quality holding player , names to send shivers to our rivals . Hold on to your bed posts here we come!
No doubt Levy has mileage clauses in a Sandro sale (in the event he goes on to play a certain number of full games etc) .
Wouldn't put him in Ledders class, but I am a big fan of Sandro and gutted he's going. 'Fire in the belly' kind of character that every club needs. (And we certainly needed his level of commitment yesterday!) All very strange after he put in a such a strong performance on Thursday. And if he was so injury-ridden then surprised that any PL team would invest in him. Really hope this one doesn't come back to bite.
After yesterday, I still maintain that we desperately need somebody who can take their chances. Not blast them straight at the keeper, or over the bar.
Injury problems would make RDBD's suggestion of mileage clauses a very likely one, if the fee really is a paltry £6mill
Holtby allegedly passed medical and on way to Hamburg. Also disappointing..... But wish the lad well - seems like a decent character
Are we just signing players for a whole new team and slowly working out from the back? Vorm; Yedlin, Dier, Fazio, Davies; Stambouli. That's a keeper, a whole defence and a holding midfielder. Levy had better work quickly if he's to sign the whole XI!
He didn't improve with coaching and he didn't improve with playing. He just seemed to continue going backwards and as a consequence his self esteem dropped and it became clear a parting of the ways became inevitable. Hopefully this fresh start will enable him to get what was a promising career back on track.
