It is not just Levy though is it? It goes on all of the time all over the planet. Clubs claim the moral high ground when they want to keep a player, but what about when they want shot? Football is not a very nice business but then every business that generates a lot of cash also generates a lot of bullsh*t.

I am not sure that you can just change someone's contract of employment without their consent - other than that - great plan!

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. The problem with a certain poster is the constant negativity, the constant assumptions that things will turn out for the worse and the constant mindset that his world is out to disappoint his expectations on a daily basis. The latest nonsense when he said that we weren't going to sign Virgil and that Les was going to cave in and let Wanyama go to Spurs is just the latest in years of cr@p that he has peddled on here. To suggest that the Mods should protect him is the biggest laugh. He is quite happy to abuse those who pull him up on his nonsense - he could have been banned dozens of times over for his online abuse. It is nice that some people feel the need to support him but I think you will find you are massively in the minority.

If this was a schoolyard and Alpine behaved the way he does on here, I have no doubt that he would end up having his pristine copy of Mein Kampf wedged firmly up his @rse.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Apparently Chelsea have 33 players out on loan. WTF?

It is good to see a CH who is comfortable enough on the ball to push forward and support the attack. I hope that is something that Ron encourages with him. If only we had English CHs who could do this!

Shame about Clasie getting crocked early on but it hasn't been a bad window for us overall. A bit worried about Cedric defensively but he looks good going forward. Comfortable top 10 I would say at this point.

Hopefully he is not too good - if so he could be off to Liverpool in a couple of years!

I am better than Yoshida and I haven't kicked a ball since 1984! Anyway, all the best in the Europa League and keep finding those players for us!

Manchester United are run like a second rate seaside B & B

I don't get it either. He is still developing and I think he will be a good player for us.

Funnily enough that is who I was thinking of too!

I don't know what our highest wage is but don't think it is over £60k?

Thanks for the positive post. As much as Yoshi is a nice fella, we really don't need another so it is good to know that Virgil is an upgrade! Now, who do you think you will sell us next season?

But you told us he wasn't going to sign Alps?

I really cant see us paying him £75k a week. Would he come here for a lot less?

Leicester though? His career would now seem to be heading on a downward trajectory.

Not at bad looking bench either if we can keep players fit.

Not too shabby! Looking forward to having the full squad fit.

Ah bit if he turns out to be total cr@p the usual suspects will be having a go at Les for tying him down for so long!

Too late mate, we have already had plenty of posts writing him off over the last couple of weeks!
