I'm not pro Ed but seriously if you're going to beat him with that stick then you have to beat Levy at Spurs for failing to conclude all bar one of Spurs' business, ask why Arsenal didn't bring Pepe in earlier, why its taken City so long to get Cancelo, Inter & Lukaku, basically any transfer that could have been done earlier but wasn't."In May, Ed Woodward asked Leicester City how much they wanted for Harry Maguire and was told £80m. On Monday, the master of negotiation completed the deal, paying £80m finally to secure the centre-back six days before Manchester United’s first game of the season."

Paying a record transfer for a CB, one that we'll all admit isn't as good as the previous record holder obviously isn't a deal that's going to be done until it's blatantly obvious the selling club aren't going to loosen their asking price
