Levy wouldn't sell as Redknapp would have expected the money and why would Levy fund a £40m transfer spree for a manager who is likely to leave to take England job after Euro's? - my spin on it!
To be honest I'm not disappointed as such that we're selling Arteta, he's had his best days... I am pissed off however at the timing of the deal - we've got no chance of getting a replacement in.
Youth player Daniel Murphy just retweeted this:
Its all going tits up for us Bill Kenwright couldn't run a corner shop #joke
He could get into trouble me thinks!!!
Arteta was poor when he came.
Pienaar was poor when he came.
It's worked twice before and I hope it will do again with Drenthe - excellent signing if all goes to plan!
