think this summer is different because clubs are desperate for cash so being stubborn is actually beneficial in some ways.I think a lot depends on City's approach. Every player can be bought. Just make a deal they can't refuse.
The issue is we don't do business that way. Maguire is good but was never worth 80, so was Pogba not worth 90. Coutinho not worth 130 and hazard not worth 100. These clubs made can offer the selling club couldn't refuse.
But if we stay true to our frugal self, it will be very difficult to strike a deal.
It is a tight rope the club is walking on right on between the promise to bring Pep a world class striker and the general covid market and selling clubs quoting us some crazy figures. Conte coming is a bit of an issue.
So I am not very hopeful of such deals and understand the reasoning of it. At the end of the day Txiki can surprise us all with Kane coming in for a 110 mil and add-on deals.
