Also great to see how our influence on transfers is causing financial problems for the Fraudies. Liverpool, Spuds etc will be forced to pay the asking price for players. We're linked with a lot of the same targets. I don't believe we have any genuine interest however by registering an interest the selling club & the agent will both say to a Liverpool "we have another bidder from the same league who are willing to match the asking price with 60%+ up front".

It's very smart tactics. Disruption of the establishment. These behind the scene shenanigans are the bigger reason by the fraudies are really upset. They can not dictate the market between them anymore.

Levy has pedigree for lowballing his way to excellent business, the Maddison signing is a perfect example. We are in the driver's seat with the deal. We can offer 10-15£million less than Spurs as we have UCL football and they don't.

It's so satisfying to rub this behaviour in the faces of the fans of these clubs who looked down their noses and mocked us during the Ashley years.

Satisfying!
