There's really no such thing as a 'set price', there's a 'recommended retail price' on most goods but the seller is under no obligation to charge that.

Prices can be set by the seller but there's no obligation for the buyer to pay them at the amount set by the seller.

Eh?

I am aware of the "right to treat" but if there is a rrp of say £20 would you make an offer of £21 for the item, for me No! that would be overpaying. If I'm selling my house i want £320,000 for it, I have set the price, you can make an offer under but anything over is overpaying.
Anyway I'll agree to disagree and move on each to there own I guess.

Over paying for anything is just a rich concept.

I wouldn't call this thread shooting the breeze. This is a full on hurricane.

Of course you are...but do you really need to say it 25 times a day in multiple treads, just sayin'. It's not your opinion that I take issue with. It's the excessive manner in which some go about it. This may just be my opinion, but it seems to have gotten quite nasty, a bit over the top, and expressed as if it's an absolute when in reality it's just another opinion.
The reality is it remains to be seen how this plays out. You may be proven correct in the long run, but you may also be proven wrong as difficult as that may be for you to perceive at this moment. I think it's a safe bet to assume everyone knows your opinion on Phillips without you posting how shit he is over and over and over again. But hey, that's your call. I get where you stand on this so for me there's not much else to say. For clarity, I'm not convinced Phillips will come good here, but I'm willing to give him a bit more time. To say he's impeding our progress or transfer window is a bit of a reach to be honest. We shall see...

I was looking for any reasons as to why were being so cautious over what seem like piddling amounts in the big scheme of things? It appears as if this deal is being delayed for the sake of £10m’ish. I can’t say I know, as I’m only going on media tripe. So, therefore equating that to the £35m we’d expect to get from the sale of ‘him’ (shan’t upset you further by mentioning names).

Or being careful with their money. Even multibillionnaires are known to be frugal.

For the sake of all those of us who have zero desire to wade through all the shit and bickering on this thread...

Can someone summarize where we are with this please?

Well, I think that's partly because few on here had heard of Akanji, and of those who had fewer still had actually seen him play. And also, we paid peanuts for him, relatively speaking.

We underpaid.

I’m sorry you feel that way my friend.
Tbh you and trueblu always have an ‘ignore’ button and it won’t bother me in the slightest’ if you use it- I’ve been used to that from the missus for x30yrs and it makes my life a lot less stressful!
