Watching him at this level really does make me seethe at his give away sale. |  |

We needed to sell more than they needed to buy. It was certainly below his true value, but it was deadline day and they were the only club in for him. If we’d held out for £20m plus, we probably wouldn’t have got anything. I think we brought in 5 first team/fringe players off the back of it?
Although we weren’t the only club bidding, we did the same to Wigan for Jamal Lowe. They needed cash and we exploited it. We’d probably have had him for less if we were the only club in for him. |
The most basic concept of direct selling is to condition the prospect,in this case Daniel Levy.
If Spurs really did want this product then we should have been conditioning Levy into believing that the price will be high or at least not derisory ,as was this .
Making out you're desperate for money ,as we did, is selling suicide. | |

Do you honestly think Spurs didn’t know we needed money? Aside from the fact Birch was there, every club knows that.
Wigan are even more desperate. Lowe was worth far more than £800k.
It’s hardly as if we could blag it and make Levy think we were flush. | | | |

I do not see it your way.
It does not change my view.
I'll leave it there.

That’s fine.
I’m only explaining why clubs in our situation can’t demand top dollar, or even market value, on deadline day when only one club is interested.
If you want to believe our financial position isn’t public knowledge, that’s up to you. | | | |

We shop well, we sell low, that’s the deal, Rodon went for 11.8 million rising to 15 with add ons. At the time it was as good as we could get. |  |

"we could get" is a key phrase .It's key because of the position we got ourselves cornered.
We see things differently.

Rodon had a good game as did all the others … even Mepham (!) but did struggle at times and looked uncomfortable as was picked up on S4C commentary. Joe, like others, was less than great against the Swiss.
Some commenters always go over the top when a decent player has a good game especially if it offers a crack at the club.
Against Italy we'll need Cabango or other to help with high balls and crossess. |  |

No,it's not confusing at all.
This is though
People thinking we bought Lowe on the cheap as Wigan were desperate. He aint worth that ,come on.
Whittaker was bought for what 900k,and that a bargain ? Nah.
The best deal we did was Siggy although the profit seemed to disappear down the black hole that our esteemed yankie owners try to fill.
so,no confusion here Gents,just hard nosed market realism. | |

Do they have a big target man in the squad? Immobile, Chiesa, Berardi, Insigne... not exactly mountains. Chiellini probably injured, their biggest set piece threat.
When we played Man City we didn't load up on big centre halves, Matty Grimes dropped into the backline. I'd play a back 5 with Davies and Ampadu either side of Joe. Match up Spinazolla's energy with Connor's (for an hour, then whip him off). Rest Moore, pace on the counter with DJ and Brooks. They've not been tested with balls lumped into the channels behind the wingbacks yet... | | | |

Exactly this. Their ageing defence will either have to sit deep and allow us space to play in front of it or risk getting caught behind. I am really optimistic about us getting at least a point. |  | | |

It’s hard to take you seriously when you post stuff like this.
We paid £800k for Lowe, he scored 14 goals. 10th most in the Championship. | | | |

We should have been able to hoodwink Levy into thinking we didn’t need the money
Lowe wasn’t a steal at £800k

Yes.
He’d have had more detailed knowledge of our finances, but any PL club coming in on their own on the last day of the window would have known they held the aces. | | | |

Plus the minor inconvenience of it being the middle of a freakin' global pandemic that stopped income coming in through gate receipts etc, with every Football League club pleading subsequent poverty and clamouring for urgent Premier League financial assistance. But against that backdrop we should have been convincing Levy that we could take or leave his offer without a second thought.
Maybe we should have tried hypnotism on him? 
As others have tried to explain in lucid fashion throughout this thread, we had little choice. The player wanted to go, an auction between both Manchester clubs, Spurs and others didn't materialise and our already precarious financial state was being magnified by the effects of Covid. Whilst the money we got up front for Joe was low, it enabled is to not only keep trading but strengthen other areas of the squad. |  | | |

'People are simply going to correct you.'
What a load of baloney. Imagine a forum where we were all doing that - looking to 'correct' other people's opinions.
For example if someone chose to 'correct' a clueless poster's opinion that Turkey were just as likely to beat Italy 1-0 as Italy were to beat Turkey 1-0. Which of course was a bonkers opinion. But nobody called out / 'corrected' that poster's opinion, pre or post the 3-0 drubbing of a predictably woeful Turkey. | |

Lowe was sold without the record you mention . Ergo,it was anything but robbing Wigan so I have corrected you.See? | |

I agree, that’s a crazy opinion, but at least it’s an opinion.
We could have pretended we didn’t need the money and Levy and Birch would have bought it is absurd babbling nonsense, as many others have patiently explained. Enough people corrected him in this thread, I’ve just pointed it out.
Turkey were far more likely to beat Italy than any club who sells its best couple of players every summer were to convince anyone they could turn down 8 figures on deadline day. | | | |

You talk about usernames like Perch and OHL are different people. Whichever really, I’m replying to you.
