Think all this talk of McGuire and Mona is just to pressure on Leavy to sell Toby at a cheaper price, hopefully we get progress this week.

Spurs don’t want or need to sell him. The price they put on him is well above what we are willing to pay. We are moving down our preferences, and will likely sign Mina as other targets are either overpriced or unwilling to move.

Mona is already at Old Trafford. He’s the miserable bugger who stands in the technical area.

Danny, the questions for Levy are what happens in a year, and given the new stadium, how does he generate funds for Poch? He is notoriously difficult to do business with and we usually pay over the odds so I would hope there may be some common ground somewhere. There was a rumour about them wanting Martial, surely that opens up possibilities.

I think Spurs are happy for him to see out his contract if they don’t get major money for him. They have a few young cbs coming through, and keeping Toby for two years is probably more appealing than trying to find a replacement in the next week. As for Martial, we have put a huge price on him (way beyond what Spurs would pay for any player), and Ed002 has explained that we’re unwilling to do swap deals.

We all know that Toby is available. The problem is that he is available for a ridiculous fee. Levy isn’t overly concerned about generating funds, he’s happy to let the manager look for cheaper deals rather than compromise on price.

Good points Danny, I suspect if we can sell a couple, what we are prepared to pay may go up. I also don’t see the sense in keeping an unhappy Martial. I guess it depends how far away our price is from what others are willing to pay.
