what is it you suspect we're actually doing wrong though? Do you think we're willfully dragging this out?
If PSG came in and tried to buy aguero off us, do you think that would be wrapped up in a week? When a club tries to buy another club's best player, and that club doesn't need the money, they dont just hand them over. I don't think there's really any amount of money that would make it worth our while to let him to go, as he's so integral to our success. Wolfsburg probably feel the same and if we get this over the line at any point before the window closes then we'll have done well.
I keep seeing a lot of people saying things like "just offer 50m and tell them we're walking away in 24hrs." As though Wolfsburg should be somehow grateful. I expect there's nothing they'd love more than for us to walk away from the deal!
Players good enough to improve a squad as good as ours are few and far between. Their clubs will rarely want to let them go and often there'll be more attractive clubs than ours in the mix. Most of our future acquisitions are going to keep dragging out like this.
I know what you are saying but my point is we know we are going to get slapped so lets get on with it.
