Yep. Just pay it

No one will give a flying fukc whether we paid 40, 45, or 50 million in two years time when we win the PL and CL double

No one will remember the exact price paid or be remotely arsed.

Nooooooooo, poor business model

Pretty obvious who on here has never negotiated a business deal in their lives, or if they have, who got mugged.

And many aren't, that's the way life works,if everthing was a piece of piss life we be so much simpler but it isn't.

Life is simple, you just live until you die and memory of you fades into a statistic.
Flappers can flap all they want, it's all inconsequential in the end.

Hey everyone, City are a soft touch, spread the word.

Looks like the hitch here might be because we 'just paid' more for Walker.

And why wouldn't you do that, if you were the seller ? "You just paid more for him, & this lad's better, surely an extra 5 mil in addons won't be a problem for you ?"

So we go 'ok' & then the next guy goes up another 5 or 10, etc etc.

And then there's Sanchez. His value goes up as well.

Prefer it this way, having got Walker in, rather than having to negotiate with Levy after paying big money for Mendy though.

This thread needs bookmarking so if Mendy is a flop then those saying just pay more cant complain about the flop

The problem doesn't just lie with a single transfer though. Whether it is true or not, almost every single one of our major transfers that plays out in the public domain, ends with the media reporting that we have ended up paying what the selling club wanted. Its difficult for us to play hardball in any negotiation, when the perception is that we will cave and pay what they want in the end. Its a tough situation, I have read comments this week from Chelsea fans along the lines of "City want a player, they pay the money and get the job done" whereas their perception of their own transfer dealings, is that they try to play hardball and it ends up costing them the player. When push comes to shove, I think I would rather overpay and get the player.

Many deals are thrashed out quicker than it takes me to pick a pair of trainers. Robinho for example

So you just want our club to pay what the other club asks for?

Not caught up on thread, so apologies if been recently mentioned, but I'm firmly in the camp that Monaco have upped the price based on feeling that we had their pants down on getting Bernardo on the relative cheap.
