So they haven't signed Pogba yet. So your comment about them getting players for £100m was wrong then.
Moving on.
I'm not saying they've displayed a masterclass in negotiations but they've managed to acquire their targets thus far. Pogba is still a long way away but it's out of our hands now. We've got to focus on ourselves in either eventuality regarding Pogba. Haggling over 2M wastes time and is a principle thing when clubs already know we'll pay the fee eventually as evidenced with the Sterling saga. We are going to have tougher constumers on the table and getting the likes of Peres, Rulli or a LB are imperative if we are to stand a chance to signing all of our main targets come September.
We would have paid 30 million for Gundogon had we not haggled. Also the fee touted 2 days back was 25 mill, suddenly its 20 mill today. Who should you trust? None of them. What if the haggling is over 7 million and not 2 million?I'm not saying they've displayed a masterclass in negotiations but they've managed to acquire their targets thus far.

You do realize that we are/were negotiating with Bonucci as well while "haggling" over your 2 million. We have enough resources at the club mate and honestly Bruno Peres' deal isn't holding any of our other deals up.I never said that. I said there's a real risk we could get left behind this window and haggling over 2M doesn't help that. We need to focus our resources and time on our main targets e.g. Kroos and Bonucci an get ourselves sorted as early as possible. Whether Pogba joins them won't be that great of an issue if we manage to get it done.
That is simply naive to think our deals are done in series.I never said that. I said there's a real risk we could get left behind this window and haggling over 2M doesn't help that.
