So as predicted Levy is dragging out the Bale transfer to the lat possible minute thus ensuring the domino of potential transfers which usually accompany such a massive transfer either won't happen or will be so chaotic that clubs will end up paying over the odds for target or missing out on them altogether.
Ofcourse Levy's action will harm his closest rivals, Arsenal & us who if rumours were to be believed were hoping for some quality cast offs from Madrid to balance up Bales arrival. Probably was never going to be Ronaldo, but could have been Ozil, Modric or Di Maria.
Anyways by delaying Bale's departure to the 11th hour Levy have made it next to impossible for other clubs to do business on the Bale of the transfer.

Where does that leave us then, even if I put my optimistic hat on, the one where United are genuinely interested in strengthening the squad this year, today might be the last realistic day we will see any incomings. The matchday weekends typically are void of big transfers and given the ineptitude of the board to sign anyone during the previous two month, I think we are hoping to much to believe they have courage/sense to do something meaning full on deadline day. So today or never is my feeling.
Everton have just rejected the £36 mill double bid for Fellaini and Baines so that deal is going to have drastically move on in the next few hours. If its true we've already moved on Buttner then i'm assuming we're pretty confident we have at least Baines in the bag. If for some reason we don't then someone has made a bit of a balls up there.
Further a field what else, well if you disregard what Madrid might have sold (see above), we have, er, well, that's it, no one.

So it means that the greatest club in the world is about to fail in the market because of Levy? This is what we've become?

Poppycock! If real were waiting for bale deal to be done they could of sold them already and put more cash up front thus speeding up the deal

The point is the Bale to Real deal is NOT complete, so Real can't sell. Might be (I'm guessing) Levy has told Real there is business he needs to do before he can complete the Bale to Madrid move which is what is infuriating RM at the most. Levy is screwing with Madrid too.
They won't sell anyone until they need to, and I suspect even when they bring in Bale they might not actually need to but would definitely be more open to offers if they had Bale in the bank.
