And with Sagna replaced by Alves? Another price?

As for master negotiator, this is a man who paid £30m for a player Newcastle were hoping to get £15m for last summer, and he's a shit player.

Yeah, the Alves signing will change things, and if he wants to sell, he will negotiate.

But again he's working with the fact that Alves isn't a Blue yet. Let's say Levy dropped his last weekend, Walker signed for us, then and Alves does his leg in playing beach volleyball with Naymar?!

At the moment we don't have a senior right back, so he won't change his position until we do
 
Maybe Clyne before he joined Liverpool but not now (unless you want a long drawn out saga, with more mud slung our way as a bonus).
 
In the last 4 summers:

Paulinho
Chiriches
Soldado
Chadli
Capoue
Fazio
Yedlin
Stambouli
N'Jie
Nkoudou
Sissokho


And probably Janssen.

That's 11 shit players who failed at Spurs in 4 windows. "A few" indeed.

And not including Lamela who was the worst of the lot, a laughing stock for 2 years, decent for 6 months and then injured for the last year.
How is he on selling his top players?

Well he sold Modric to Real Madrid for less than Cesc Fabregas went to Barcelona for, and only £2m more than Mata cost Chelsea from a Valencia that had to sell in order to stay solvent in the same summer, so that was a shit deal.

And then he sold Bale for a world record. Woah, there's no way anyone else could have managed that!!!! Any mere mortal would have just offloaded bale for 50m or something!

It's a bullshit legend built by Levy. His shit negotiating stance of "not for sale" is probably why his best CB has a buyout clause in his contact for pennies next year, and has probably cost Spurs plenty of other players.

Not to mention the players they've lost over the years because he refused to pay a tiny bit more, or suddenly reduced his offer (Willian).

So the upshot of this is that he raised the price after we released Sagna, and it will go back down when Alves signs in a day or two.

And meanwhile Spurs RB targets are being courted by other clubs.

Doesn't seem like something to be worried by really.

I don't want to turn the Walker thread into a debate about Levy, but all you're doing is picking and choosing stats to suit your argument.

I could say he doubled his money on Yedlin, or he paid less for Dier + Ali than we did for Nolito, but things like that don't carry weight in a debate about Walker!
