I don't think there are two sides to the 'agument'.
There is one side who have no idea what is happening & say nothing & another side who have no idea what is happening but blame City for it anyhow.

what is more beneficial the club saving money on the transfer or the player bonding with team mates and learning the managers system?
That's a fun dynamic to take a look at it. It's so dependent on the player, the price, and how badly he needs to be in the first 11 but it sounds like we're possibly 10m off, so maybe 3-6m? Will holding out even save us a couple million at all? Pay it! Screw it!

Well if 'pay it, screw it' is City's motto, why do you think the Sheikh & Khaldoon, plus Soriano, are not enforcing this attitude ?
Because quite clearly, they are not.

It is esp if you consider how much money the club has could an extra couple of weeks pre season training influence winning the league and repaying the outlay?

And then how much money it costs the club over the next ten transfer deals when we cave in. 100 mil perhaps ?

Well I was just asking the other poster the question, regarding the Sheikh, Khaldoon etc & their attitude to spending.
I don't think they are willing to chuck money around the way City's fans are. They want to save a million or two on each deal if it's possible & Txiki has shown that it is.
My evidence for that, is the fact that we don't have Pogba & the way we held out last season with DeBruyne & Sterling.
It would be a much easier job for the D.O.F. if they told him to just 'spend it'. I think he is doing what he's been asked to do, make sure everyone knows we won't just pay 'anything' & are willing to walk, if it gets stupid, & leave the club possibly with an unhappy player.

I'm saying pay it and screw the haggling over 1-2 million for the extra two weeks. Are you just being confrontational or would you rather test wills and see how much resolve Everton has? Simply a hypothetical here that we're fooling with for fun. Would you pay a premium to get him in now or not? If so how much would you pay?
For what it's worth I've actually posted that we should hold out until they agree to what we believe is fair.

I'm saying that if the Sheikh wanted Txiki to 'just pay it' he would most certainly 'just pay it' then it's not his problem. Then we 'just pay it' for Sane & next time a Pogba style deal comes along, we 'just pay it' when the agent wants 20 mil & the club ask for 40 mil more than he's worth.
This is club policy imo. We don't 'just pay it' anymore. If we did, Txiki would 'just pay it' & go on holiday.
