Sadly it's becoming the norm and for me it needs to stop.
Are we using Bayern tactics?
Becoming the norm? Tixiki has always done it. In the past though he would fold and pay what the asking price was on day 1, after months and months of negotiation. Like Kdb, Sterling, Walker etc etc. Now that he has Pep working wonders he has the bravado to walk away. In fairess, the last few times have worked out well. Happy to see how it plays out myself. Still think this will happen, and it will be for slightly below 50m.
