Haha very true! We'll haggle for a couple of weeks and end up paying the asking price anyway! ;-)

Might prove hard if somebody decides to pay the asking price in the interlude

The asking price is only the asking price because we don't start the bidding at what we think they want for the player.

Very true our kid! We should just sort this out ASAP to strengthen the right back position

 

[JimmyNJ]

I'm sure as soon as we get to their asking price, it will go up again

That is why you never offer the asking price sraight away,they will always ask for more

 

[BlueDeadHead]

Didn't understand the point about different defensive structure under Pellegrini and Pep. Pellegrini had the off-side trap drilled to more or less perfection. That involves the back 4 moving as a unit. In what way will the defensive structure under Pep differ? You are suggesting some structure other than personnel, numbers? I don't see what else a defensive unit can do other than to maintain a shape.

This is as simple as it can be. Don't let the other team on our side of the pitch. That is it in a nutshell.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

Will need pace in the back line and athletic midfield to play that way. I'd like to see City play that way.

We all do and I think we will...

How are you sure...i'm not certain our owner does business like that, once Bruno's on price (with us nodding) and they cock then they've become ac milan cowboys (though they're free to cock once we've underbid)

Either way you cut it, it's rather embarrassing how we're haggling over 2 million and United are putting in a 100 million bid for pogba. And we are at the ones in the champions league

No it's not - it's called good business. Would be more embarrassing if we got ripped off.

So that 2 million is the difference between a good deal and being ripped off?

Embarrarassing, lol

No but no matter how rich our owner is we are allowed to negotiate. If every club knew we just paid whatever they wanted we would be a laughing stock! Either your a rag or not very bright.

 

[kupest]

I had like to see any of you guys to just give away 2 million pounds when you have 10.7 mill in the last year and were probably losing money before that.

Is there a difference ??

 

[Burtonblue]

It sends out the message that we are not going to be taken for a ride anymore.
I like that.

I think they are purported to have done this. No evidence whatsoever.

And you think us haggling over 2M will really send out a message to clubs that will try to extort us for as much money as possible? Unless our academy really thrives in the next couple of years, clubs know that we will pay whatever it takes as seen by paying 44M for Sterling or offering 45M+ for Bonucci. We have more pressing and complicated transfer negotiations to go through with Everton, Schalke, Juve and possibly Madrid. The quicker that this is wrapped up, the more time and effort we can put into those deals and not get blown away by the rags.

Why do you care what the rags do? half the posters are more concerned with getting one over them in transfers and not who we are buying

Because they're our rivals like Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs etc are. I don't care about getting one over on them, I care about not entering the season with them being in a better position to win the league than us.
