Sorry, this is nonsensical talk. There is nothing to take seriously. Team A is interested in a player and negotiates with Team B.
This notion that Bloom is stubborn is silly. No one cares. Like you pointed out, he too has pressures to deal with. Including having a reputation as a bad owner amongst agents.
No one is different or special. He is simply going to negotiate like everyone else. Either he and his opposite number finds a compromise or they both walk.
If Bloom is as smart as everyone keeps claiming he is, then this deal gets done. Coz surely he is smart enough to recognize that his team loses more if this breaks down.
He'd keep his tough guy reputation though. I'm sure that's worth something :)
