We need a hardass like Levy at the club who we all get frustrated at here for wanting Adebayor for the same price he is selling Pienaar for, but we'd be joyous if we could do the same. That £5.1million we missed out on with Caicedo is about the same revenue as the club will make if they put non-ST prices up by £20 for every game this season.
Levy is a good negotiator when it comes to getting a price which is nice and all that but on the flip side he has left the squad undermanned in the past and with 6 weeks to go before the season kicks off they currently have Defoe and an 18 y/o Kane as their two main strikers.
Personally I would rather have a surfeit of striking talent and win the league as opposed to finishing with sod all save the warm glow of knowing we did all right on the Pienaar deal.
Didn't they buy that stoker Liverpool were after
