Wrong! We freely will back out of bidding wars on purpose. This is the right move. Set your price and only strike if it's under that price.
It's risky but a better long-term move. Meaning you'd have to find great players In good contractual situations. There are top clubs like Juve and Dortmund who don't even participate in this "the most expensive players" bidding wars and yet they are relatively successful.
I want Havertz. Think he is worthy of a City record fee. But we simply should not get into a bidding war.
Those are for losers. Coz all players are still a risk. So you have to mitigate that risk by not overpaying.
You want all your players to be of value or a bargain. Never overpriced.
So far in the Pep era Mendy, Bravo and John Stones have been the only overpriced buys. Mendy has a slight chance of being of value. Everyone else has been of value or a bargain.
I like that!
mendy stinks, wouldn’t be value if he was 5 million
