Jorginho

True, but the same question still applies, if neither party is prepared to shift its stance, what do you do?

Compromise or walk away,everything has a value in life and if you think it's too high for you then you walk away

You play a waiting game. As in poker. You know which cards are in your hand. At a certain point, you get up and walk away from the table. Or you judge that it's still worth sitting at the table.

Exactly, they’re having us over, and we move on, is my view, but, If Pep wants him I’m sure that City eventually get it done. Though to my, admittedly untutored eye, he looked nowhere near worth the £60 million that Naples are asking for, in that friendly Italy played last week

There’s never been a second bid, same journalist said early don’t believe all those other numbers thrown around. That’s why we’re still 10M off. And if it’s €50M that will do and Kovacic’s release is €50M, Seri doesn’t have a clause because they don’t do clauses in France..... then Jorginho should def be the deal to complete.

Walk away surely not! Lol

I think your right mate..If we dont want to pay 50mil for Jorginho, its unlikely we'd meet the release clause of 50mil for Kovacic, so we'd have to negotiate a lower fee......From the reports, it would seem Napoli are backing down alittle and are trying to sign replacements, so its looking like the Jorginho deal could get done soon...

Thought it was €60 million = £52 million
But the usually media doesnt know the difference between a € and £. Suprised they dont quote the fee in Thai Baht (2,257,944,204)

Thanks OB1, I just get fed up with some 'fans' wanting to give a negative slant on everything, we may pay largish fees, but we by no means "over pay" these days. In the early days we had to over pay, or nobody would have come, but even then if we look at what we paid for Sergio, David Silva, even Vinny, there's not a single true fan who could say we didn't get value for money out of them.

Our negotiating these days is good, it may take time to complete deal, but when spending around £50m I think that is realistic to expect. People often forget things like international duty, and even a players holiday at this time of year, and these complicate a deal considerably.

The most important thing is we get what we need for the right price, before the start of the next season.

True...other clubs overpay more than us, especially the Rags
If the Rags have to overpay -Transfer fees/wages/agents fees with their alleged status(6 billion fans)
City must be doing something right

Didn’t the BBC report that we had agreed a fee of around £42m a few weeks ago?
