Nah it was made perfectly clear that when Harry came in he told Levy who he wanted and levy had to try and get them.
It was him who set up the program that saw us bottom of the table with 2 points when Harry came in and the only reason he went for him was because the fans made it clear they were going to protest before the Bolton game calling for him, Ramos and what ever his name was[the guy who picked who to try and sign, ended up at Liverpool after wards for about a year].
City have already said his pretty much screwing about with Ade and trying to get a much lower price to the original 8M that they agreed.
As for Modric last year he wanted to go to his dream move of Chelsea now its Real, I don't mind selling out best players abroad.
