Have a feeling that plan B target will be negotiated for weeks again, so about end of transfer window is when that player can join after our 3 pre season games. Surely we make a lower offer for a start that isnt gonna be accepted then we move it a bit higher and wait who blinks first. But all this can happen after we had our detective work done about the player's attitude, the "good personality check" based on Pep standards:D, the verbal agreement with agent/player about salaries etc.
And then we have to agree the price with the seller club and hope no other club is going to be interested in that player with similar or better offer.
No way all this will be done by Txiki for a new player in next two weeks. He also has to spend lot of time to find a new club for Hart, Mangala, Roberts, Denayer etc.
