wtf, are you on the wind up?

Obviously not.

 

[City_Sean]

No it doesn't, at all. And we can't 'make' anyone do anything. They'd just say 'stick another 5 mil on & it's a deal' for a couple of fucking friendly games in China.

Or if they want more money than our valuation , don't buy him. Simple.

They've put a £50m valuation, so there's no chance of adding another £5m on. These friendly games are important, they're a chance to build an understanding with your fellow team mates and learn about the managers style.

 

[mosssideblue]

Obviously not.

Then dont be so stupid. How on earth do we make them take our money?

By making a bid and putting the money on the table.

That doesn't mean they have to take it. Suggesting we make them sounds daft, would you agree?

No one is disputing your rationale, but there is obviously a bottleneck somewhere which needs to be unblocked

My issue is we don't close deals quickly, we penny pinch as drag our heels when it costs us as these players miss more time to work with the manager.

Do you actually know we drag our heels or penny pinch on transfers or are you just guessing?

We really penny pinched on over a 100m for 2 players last summer,we will get what we want when we are ready

Why aren't the deals done? Why did we allow Laporte to sit and talk with Bilbao? Yes we thought he'd turn them down but remove his opportunity to do so and he'd be here.

Fuck me we don`t half have some mard arses on these transfer forums.Talk about throwing the toys out of the pram.

Can't have been 100% sold on the move, and do we need / want players who don't really want to be with us ?

We cant force Everton to sell but we can set the pace for negotiations. Its been reported that we still havent made a formal offer, which means its us "dragging our heels" on the negotiating process because its only us that can start it (i.e by making an official offer)

How do you know? You are entitled to your opinion but people with vastly more experience in transfers are dealing with player acquisition. If it was that simple we would not need a team to do the work.

Or just maybe he didn`t want to live in England.Why should he.Not all players want to work with Pep.Not all players want to play in PL.Not all players fancy a night at Stoke.Not all players want to play for MCFC.What is so difficult to understand ? Do you honestly believe that we have a god given right to all and sundry ... if so, then you`re deluded.

Aren't transfer negotiations all smoke and mirrors ?

Only the people at City know where negotiations are up to - the media reports are basically guessing imo.
