If only Txiki could take such a calm,objective, dispassionate - not to say calculating approach - how different this transfer window would be. Still, try not to overdo it on the anti depressants.
Txiki has a tough old job, clubs would pull our pants down further and shaft us even harder than they already do if we didn't have a tough negotiator. Trouble is the whole world knows we are desperate for fullbacks, that can't help us in negotiations.
According to reports eh?
Sorry mate but unless I have some decent evidence of what is the hold up in the negotiations then I'm not going to pretend I know what is going on.
Back to the original point, if you just go in and pay the asking price you are regarded as a soft touch and the next time you target a player their clubs jack up their asking price when they see you coming.
That's not necessarily true. I've heard that Bayern have good relations with everyone and get decent prices because instead of making more money off a transfer they are a bit forgiving. I'm not too sure if that's true.
Mendy is still in Monaco. I think the reports say they are still haggling over the price. There is some reasonable speculation here saying his injury might have postponed the medical. I'm not sure if anyone reported that.
Didn't Gundogan pass his medical whilst still on crutches with a knee brace?
Having said that maybe we're looking to avoid that type of situation again, who knows.
No I didn't, I said you'd be on here saying the opposite.
And why would I say the opposite, unless the figures quoted by multiple reports are very inaccurate? That would contradict everything that I said. So you either believe that signing Mendy would increase the fee for Walker or you believe that I'd seek to make illogical arguments to the contrary.

What are we gonna trust? All reports claim the same thing, that Monaco wants £45 mil, we're set on £40 mil.
What is it with some of you when you require no evidence what so ever when you read or hear something you like but you ask for bulletproof evidence when you hear something you don't like.
A few million quids is the only reason we still haven't signed him. It's the few million quids that could be the difference between us and Chelsea to sign him. What will you say then? "We didn't want him anyway"? or "I never rated him"?
Like Alves? Txiki's approach cost Alves, now we have to spend extra £27 mil for a second right back. What's gonna happen if we miss out on Mendy?
Just pay the £45 mil, or £50 mil and get what we want. Don't negotiate too much, we're desperate for a LB.

Fair enough. Wouldn't be the first time, but only if provoked.

I require no evidence to believe things? What on earth gives you that impression?
Txiki's approach cost us did it? You know that for sure? Could it not have been a case of Pep saying to Txiki, 'don't worry mate I have this one in the bag, he gave me his word that when he returns from honeymoon he'll sign'.

That wasn't the logic, the logic was you don't just pay the asking price, you try to negotiate it down.
As for what the difference in valuation is, nobody here has any idea because they are not party to the negotiations.
Nobody expects us to just cough up the asking price every time, but this has been going on a looooong time and he is a primary target. If Txiki f*cks this one up then he needs to get the bullet. We can't risk losing such a target like Mendy haggling over £5m if thats really the reason. I personally think we've agreed a fee but are haggling over how many installments and the stucture of the payment. Either way if as believed the player had totally comitted to joining us then really Txiki should have sorted this by now. Nobody would blame Mendy for getting twitchy, wondering why the deal is stalling & I bet Chelsea would love to hijack the deal!!

How do I know? Some of you treat some users here as ITK and everything they say as gospel. I don't see any one of you questioning them for evidence. What happened with Alves? ITKs said he was in the bag. What happened with Sanchez? ITKs said not to worry.
To tell you the truth I'm not as much arsed about Sanchez or Alves, but we can't miss out on Mendy. We must drop the money and take him. What I see is Txiki negotiating like we're WHU when our team is in the US without a LB. And I'll never forgive him if we lose Mendy to Chelsea.
We are one of the richest clubs in the world. Just pay the extra and send him to the US.

Again you're making assumptions about me based on absolutely nothing.
