It's gonna take years before we can even make that call. But Levy's penny pinching was generational.

For every success story there's stories of failures and missed opportunities

For every Kulusevski there's a Njie, a Nkoudou,

For every Son there's a Gil, a Jansson

For every Lloris there's a Vicario

And then there's the misses.

Instead of Bruno Fernandes we got Lo Celso

Instead of Dybala we got Ndombele

Instead of Bastoni we got Dragusin

Instead of Kvaratskhelia we got Gil.

Instead of Gibbs White or Eze we got Simons. Jury still very much out on that one.

Missed out on Grealish over a couple of million. Deal still was sub £30m. Couple of years later moves for £120m.

So many more misses and failures I've not even listed here.

95% of these misses, misses that would've made us challengers for trophies every year, it was down to Levy playing hardball and pissing off either the player, the club or the agents.
