Benjamin Mendy

[Tron Coltrane]

This thread is like some sort of hall of fame for stupid comments about Txiki.

It's amazing. I can imagine the entire group shifting over to a medical forum and start criticizing doctors about their surgical approaches.

We need to walk away from Mendy now getting way too much, you can go some way to justifying £50mn for walker but not Mendy, like seriously how can Monaco value more than silva? Get Sandro at £60mn, much better player

Push it to 65 and we would get him here in time for kick off tonight.

its a come and buy me and he is for sale at the right price and not arsenal or others cheap offers only PSG and manchester city Madrid and barca can stump up that silly figure of £180million and one of them will get him

I ain't suggesting anything but it's very hard to get through to someone when they refuse to understand.

The owners made an investment to this club to create a winner club. OK? Thank you.

Khaldoon just a month ago said the club expects to win a title or even titles next season. Did he? Yes. Thank you.

So the DoF has a job to do and the manager has a job to do, the club has set the goal: title and even titles.

Got it? Good.

And the owner not only wants a winner club but every business wants a profitable business. In the business of football profits follow winning titles. Why is this so hard to get?

I don't know if you ppl realise but the longer this transfer takes the higher Mendy's price gets. Just my observation, no source for hard evidence.

Don't be so patronising mate, it's hard for people to even want to agree your point when you sound like that.

What's your theory behind; the longer the transfer takes the higher the prices becomes? Interested to understand how that works.

Fee agreed by tomorrow after the Mbappe news..

So we played hard bargain and tried to get him few millions cheaper. Now forced to pay 10m more? :D Next time how about trigger the right price immedeately and stop fooling around.

Says whom exactly.

I don't think I'm getting through here. If we had Mendy and were negotiating for a back up, he should negotiate by all means. Because then we'd not be so desperate, at least we have our starter LB like we have Walker.

We have no LBs. OK?

So if Monaco want £54 mil, we pay £54 mil. He's an essential player for Pep's projected team and we're missing defenders. We're not WHU or Crystal Palace, we can't go from Mendy to Bertrand to "I can only afford xxx" and lay claim to be one of the top teams in England and Europe. You can't act like a midtable team and claim to be a top team.

So I can't relax, not after a medical is called off. I'm actually nervous about losing Mendy to Chelsea who already have a LWB but are ambitious enough to get a better LWB so that they can win the title again and challenge for the CL. And they will spend the extra few million Txiki is trying to save.

You are getting through - with your nonsensical approach to complex negotiations

the bolded bit is simply your assumption

 

[kaz7]

I never played FIFA. I don't claim to have any negotiation skills either. I say just pay the fookin money. They ask for £55 mil? Then pay £55 mil and take him.

No negotiation. When we have our first choice FBs, then we can negotiate for backups and that's Txiki's job, not mine.

Take a chill pill,you'll have a heart attack at this rate

Bollocks

Erudite, as ever.

This Monaco and Alves, Walker, Mendy situation reeks of incompetence...they should have thought strategically, get Alves at a higher price, may have led to lower price for Walker and Mendy..
