Wrong? Funny as you have completely ignored what i said and actually reworded it and actually agreed with whayt i had said, there is a range the buyer wanted to pay and a range where the seller wants to sell, negotiation (which i also said is a skill) is where each party moves the other in that range.You're wrong again. The value of an player is not defined by the willingness of a buyer. It's called "pricing" and only the seller decides the amount of money he or she is willing to let their asset go. Negotiating literally means the "discussion" to reach an agreement.
However you seems to think that the price of an asset is only decided by the amount of money the counterpart is willing to spend, which is wrong. As a buyer you're the only party who decides on the amount of money you're willing to sell, not the other way around.
Also you seems to think that skills doesn't matter that much while trying to negotiate. With that kind of mindset you probably would get mugged a lot in your life while trying to be part of it. There are good brokers, averages ones or people just completely bad at it. If you can't recognise that, than it would be a lost case.
I can confirm that i am not mugged and have negotiated in my current role a very good salary, in a role which involves a lot of contract negotiation so clearly you have no idea about me, nothing like nice assumption though.
If you are offering something well below market price then lots of people will want it and the offer price will move up. If you are offering something above market price then few people will want it then the price you have to offer will move down. Its called market economics - take a look at Keynes. In the football market age, contract length remaining and salary also have a huge impact in the logistics of the deal.
If we are such bad negotiators can you please explain where the masses of clubs who are bidding for the players who we are being "mugged off" by?
Which players we have sold so badly were subject to a bidding war as our negotiation was so bad? Why weren't there clubs queuing up for our bargain basement prices like it was black Friday as Asda? Share with us you inside knowledge of the workings of our negotiations
