Because its Levy, Baldini and Mitchell and Levy is the chief negotiator.1. How the fuck would you know if we have a "transfer team" or not?
Might not2. It says Levy blocks the Ade to West Ham deal on deadline day (hint: someone else might have been negotiating the deal up to that point)
Not really. He´s the chief negotiator. And 15 days isnt 3 weeks3. Of course our chairman will negotiate a £86 million deal with Madrid - using that to "prove" that's he's spent 3 weeks on a £2.1 million deal in Colombia is pathetic.
No but Neil Ashton does. He didnt mention a transfer team as far I read, or that Levy has people doing his negotiating for him.4. Conclusively, you don't know squat about the points you're trying to make, so does everyone else on here.
How many Benders are in the German league?Thought we were interested in Sven Bender?
Well, since we don't play at home this week, he's probably servicing the team bus this morning...What do you have? ArtyB saying "Levy must be mowing the pitch today"..

Not half as strange as you thinking that a chairman is incapable of delegating...Maybe. He could be working on signings though.
That seems like a very strange theory to some of you all of a sudden.
Oh yeah I forget, he´s got his best man on the job..

Levy has an extraordinary reputation within the game and he is always willing to come to the table in the transfer window, so long as the terms are in Tottenham’s favour.
Levy comes alive in the window, spending hours on the phone to a network of agents.
He is at the training ground most days, arriving anywhere between 8-8.30am to begin work.
It is there, at their magnificent new hub on the outskirts of Enfield, that Levy spent the day setting up deals by telephone and email last Monday.
He appointed Franco Baldini as technical director in 2013, partly to detach himself from the frenzied atmosphere at the club on deadline day. Two years on, he cannot resist.
He is a calculated guy and he is prepared to wait and wait.
He spends hours in his vault on the first floor during the transfer window, pacing up and down a spartanly furnished office hypothesising over potential transfers on a notepad on his desk.
Last Monday, when Levy swept into Tottenham’s training centre, he was ready for business. Deals were there to be done.

Maybe you should go and learn how our club is structured.
Might not

The article firmly backs my theory that Levy in the thick of everything transfer related working from dusk til dawn.
People can invent all the staff they like who are supposedly being sent around the grounds to have meetings, but maybe they could too produce an article which supports it.
Ive backed my speculation with a creditable article.
What do you have? ArtyB saying "Levy must be mowing the pitch today"..
Who are you to fucking question. If you actually read the quote it states we used to buy international quality so I responded by saying Alderweireld is. I don't see where buying him from matters. It's Atletico by the way, don't make that mistake again now you've been taught. Good lad.
Okay. I'll try my luck once more.
You supposedly know exaxtly how our club is structured, and Levy, Baldini and Mitchell are the only 3 people working with our transfers. They have no people under them.
You know that because an article didn't mention anyone else.
"I have this rock. It keeps tigers away"
- How ?
"I don't see any tigers, do you?"
Trust me, he isn'tHe's not good enough for us anyway apparently...
Difference with the scum is they have a policy. World class manager and a properly run board. We do not have a philosophy unless the philosophy is sacking managers.
Extensive talks? Shut upFrom Grey Fox (or something) on SC
"Sorry later than expected. We have not given up on Berahino and go in with another offer, the Fazio situation is seperate and it's basically down to him, a couple of Spanish clubs have also shown interest.
There are apparently 2 back ups to Berahino one of which has not been mentioned on here. As far as the dm/cm is concerned I've been told the Germans are now very unlikely but we have had extensive talks with Illarremendi and one other, any deals are expected to be late although the club would like them finalised before the Everton game.
As far as outgoings are concerned Adebayor, is proving really difficult basically no EPL club want him so abroad is fast becoming his/our only option. Lennon interest has also dropped and we will have to drop price if were are to get rid of. Fazio will be easier and should get done by early next week."
Back up your theory with a credible article like I did, or jump off.
You can assume there are staff we dont know about doing work on Levy´s behalf, based on nothing.
I will continue to believe the structure of the club from the facts I do know, backed up by articles written by respected sports journalists who have been around Levy in a transfer window, watching how he works.
No one mentioned a delegation in the article. Your theory is 100% speculation.
I have no theory and have made no assumptions or conclusions. I might even agree with you, who knows?
My only claim is, that you're full of shit.
You're making erroneous conclusions and fighting everyone about it. It's laughable.
And he doesn't fit the profileWe were never interested and we dont want him anyway
