Got to say I agree with you. Unless there has been a major sea change in the way we negotiate transfers surely this one is going to drag on for a while yet.

Only difference this window compared to previous is we have Baldini presumably in charge of negotiations?
My understanding of the Baldini arrangement is that although he is identifying targets and probably part of selling Tottenham to the targeted player, Levy is still in charge of the purse strings.

Have to agree with you on that.

Unless Baldini is a better negotiator?
Levy says what he is happy with to Baldini.
Baldini goes off and does the talking but is more effective than Levy's hardball stance and gets the agreed amount done in a quicker time and with less noses put out of joint?
There have been rumours that Levy changes the goalposts during negotiations (i.e. gets one price accepted then thinks he can doo even better so goes for lower and sometimes screwing the whole deal) - maybe if he and Baldy have an agreed price bracket then they don't do this revisionist second round of negotiations.
It might mean we pay an extra million or two on some deals but it will probably mean we get the deals done and done quicker.

yeah interesting angle, you may well be right. Sometimes i forget Baldini is at the club now. He is known for being an excellent negotiator, smooth and persuasive in his approach. Who knows, he maybe that good that he has persuaded Lerner to do business at less than their firm asking price of 25 mill.

Levy's wife works at the club. 100% fact. Perhaps there is an ex-wife who is ill.

Yeah - she has been there since before Levy.
It was Levy's mum who was ill and who died last spring (a day Redknapp unfortunately choose to slag him off in the press, which maybe was the final straw in that relationship).

Guess he never got the memo about sleeping with the staff then
Ha ha. No, considering the age of their kids, they must have been married a decade before he joined her at the club. Nepotism perhaps though.
