I see your point, look at it this way he has done it with his previous club and if he joins and does well with us then a "bigger" club comes knocking he will no doubt do it to us if he cant get his own way.  We have been through that s**t twice in recent years with Berbatoss and Modrat both vital players to us that were performing well.

We hate them for how they left and I wouldnt want a player joining us using the same tactics as its sucks in every way!

Transfer request then let business take its course!
THFC "COYS" and that is all I have to say about that!

     I seem to remember Dempsey doing the exact same thing to Fulham at the end of 2011-2012, but I didn't see anyone criticize him, and lets be honest he ain't that good is he?
    Unfortunately in todays climate, it is the only way for an under contract player to get a transfer if his Club won't sell him.

There is an old saying; if they are going to do it then let them do it to somebody else. Not us.  :D ;)
I’ve lived a life that’s full. I’ve travelled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

Thats Benteke gone, wonder if Levy was actually interested or a smoke screen, apparent David Villa spoke out about Levys tactics and taking too much time.  We know this has often been our down fall, we need a striker and quick please!

Quote from Riff "Dempsey didn't go AWOL."
     You are quite right Riff he didn't go AWOL but he threatened to go on Strike if they didn't let him go, which to my mind is about the same thing, is it not.

I think now we have a Director of football Levy  most probably wont be involved in transfer negotiations apart from signing the cheque. At least that should be the case. If Levy is still handling that stuff it makes you wonder what the D.O.F is for.

To be fair we don't know whether Benteke was actually on Spurs radar or was it a ploy by the Benteke's camp to get more money out of Aston Villa; which seems to have worked.

As AVB said; a lot of it is just paper talk.

I noticed our biggest fan The Sun newspaper (they hate us by the way) couldnt wait to list AVB as a possible target for the Barca hotseat!

Free rubbish id bad enough but soon we will have to pay to read the Sun online. Even at £1 for 2 months, it's well overpriced. I occasional look in, but this will be the end of the Sun as far as I am concerned.

What annoys me is that those papers play games in speculating. It is just to sell papers not to inform.

Did you notice any gossip about Chadli? Well, I didn't. So, it kind of proves the papers are mostly printing fantasies and rubbish.

Funnily enough I thought the same. The papers pick a name out of thin air and say he is going to sign for so-and-so. The same with Bale; it is about selling papers, not informing their readership with honest and well researched investigations.

Spot on Riff, very valid point.

So I wonder who else is on Levys radar
