I give Txiki the benefit of the doubt here. He had reasons for telling the Napoli president to stick it. And not ponying up for Kounde. If this is a part of changing the bargaining table... I am all for it.

The last report that I read was that they offered €10m guaranteed, and that is twice as much as the previous report that I read.One of the few reliable ones says Barca offered €17m (incl. addons). I still believe this money could have come to good use to get a leftback in January, and not focus too much on fucking with Barcelona because of what happend to Messi.

Means fuck all when those clubs aren't losing the player for free next season. We have no bargaining power with Garcia, Napoli/Sevilla did with KK/Kounde.
If this backfires and Barca don't agree to pay what we want, we've screwed ourselves out of £15m for a player that doesn't want to be here and will sign a free contract in January.
We do have bargaining power with Garcia. Koeman has come out and said that he is their main target. Don't think Barcelona should be saving up for 5 million if they are so desperate for him. Whatever bargaining power Monchi had it did not work. We went and signed Dias and we arnt going back for a CB anytime soon now. Garcia and Barcelona obviously have been in talks since ages and hence he isn't signing a new deal here. It's time clubs pay up for players they want from us.Means fuck all when those clubs aren't losing the player for free next season.

Maybe it means more for him to set a precedent. We are dealing with some of the same club officers who do everything in their power to bad mouth his club to the press. To take an offer to the board, then show fans and go "LOOK! LOOK! I TURNED DOWN THE SCOURGE OF BIG MONEY FOOTBALL!" You put up with that enough and maybe you do say, "Play by my rules or go home. You're getting nothing on me. There is no way you can spin this deal. He'll stay on the bench and rot for all I care. Then in another year his ceiling will be even less."Means fuck all when those clubs aren't losing the player for free next season.

He is in SpainLet's say they would find an agreement within the hour, that's not enough time to fly there, have a medical and announcement. Or is it?
