What is wrong with backing out if a player tries to take the piss?

At what point did I say there was anything wrong?

But yet again you’re making out the players at fault? Why is the player taking the piss?

If someone is prepared to pay more for him our loss their gain.

If a player rejects us as a club, we always blame the player taking the piss, very immature really.

If you think loyalty is still in the game you’re are very naive, players go for money and more than likely they will be at a club that will provide them silverware.

Our club also do not offer everything the player asked easily or we will get fucked in term of financial years ago.

No player is bigger than the club not even a friggin Haaland who is not even City player yet.

You said we dont have the people to get this over the line. We do, we have the best people in the business hence our success in the past decade.

The reason we dont have the likes of Sanchez, Maguire, Jorginho and so on is because they pissed about with the pricing and we moved on.
 
I do think we have a good chance of signing Haaland, mainly because I think we are every bit as attractive (or even more) as any of the other competitors, but we are also the only ones currently not having a world class striker playing in his position already. Just makes more sense that he join us.

And I do think Txiki and the others are great at identifying players who will be great for us, as history has shown and us having maybe the best squad in world football. I'm not however convinced we would win a race to sign a high profile player wanted by all the big clubs in Europe. This for the same reason as above, history has shown us that we usually dont. Our "the player has to show he really wants to join us and only us" approach works great when we want to sign players like Silva, Dias, Grealish (or even Kane even if we didnt get him in the end) and so on, great players but it was not exactly a bidding war between the biggest clubs in the world when we got them.

I hope the club makes the decision to go the extra mile on this one, mainly because I truly believe this is a generational talent, that also have family ties and an (at least some) emotional bond to the club. Its simply something we cant find anywhere else right now. I dont expect us to go into a bidding war to get him, as history has shown we never do, and if Real Madrid really wants him they have a good chance to do so. Because not only are they in most neutral eyes just as attractive as us, they are also usually prepared to pay more. But I do think there is a great chance he would choose us as long as the money is the same.

Its certainly not the end of the world if we dont sign him, and no matter what we will still win trophies. But signing him undoubtedly makes us even stronger, so I really hope we do!
