I've got a feelin this deal might turn sour
A few good points. All chairman are there for a reason, to do the best deal for their club.Valencia's chairman has been in charge since June 4th and is listed in his wiki as an 'entrepreneur' having co-founded and developed an electronics company.
He was appointed by the Valencian government to the project and subsequently took over the chairman/president role.
The fucker is a businessman, which is good in the sense he should understand negotiation, but bad insofar as he is probably enacting some uber-complex cock-waving game theory inspired contest whilst trying to appeal to his new fans.
Let's hope Levy is well-hung.
This shit is frustrating have kept away from people I know in the game as things always seem to go tits up. Reading what others are saying the deal is still on the cards. But cant see their chairman budging from his stance.
Regardless of there debt if we want him we have to bite the bullet or others will come in. That's the facts simple as that.
Spot on read my last post.As much as I'm conscious of the fact that we have a more limited budget than others, what you're saying there makes a lot of sense to me. We may get him or we may not but at some stage if we're going to go for players at this level and deal with clubs with chairmen like our own then we have to be prepared to cough up and maybe pay over the odds if we really want the player. Maybe we'll get the next player at a great price for us, swings and roundabouts.
What the fuck has happened that I have missed? .
Why arent any ITK talking about Bale? It frels like EVERY newssource saying hes on his way to RM. I just care about that. With the Squad we got. We will only compete for the top with him staying.

What's stopping Bale publicly rubbishing these stories?
Thanks jair.Nothing.
Truth be told, few bits of opinion ITK apart it's gone really quiet since about lunchtime.
There is a general positive slant that can be gained from the few bits of input we have had & generally i'm relatively hopeful.
I have been reading/following both threads since about 8am, mainly on, occasionally off, and am nearly blind through severe brain fade though.
Fair summary yes, but after the botched efforts to sign Leandro, Villa and Benteke, one can quite understand why SC ers are going Chicken Little.Thanks jair.
So - apart from guesswork based on our pro-Levy or anti-Levy preconception, and in the absence of ANY hard information regarding our proposed deal and how much it is alleged to differ from what Valencia want - lots of people have gone Chicken Little for no apparent reason.
Fair summary?
I get that. I just thought that there had to be something that I had missed apart from TalkShite and (presumably) Twatter saying that the Mickeys had made a bid, and the Valencia Chairman playing to the gallery.Fair summary yes, but after the botched efforts to sign Leandro, Villa and Benteke, one can quite understand why SC ers are going Chicken Little.
