Didsbury Dave said:I take the point fellas.
When I went to Morocco, I was taught how to haggle.
The most powerful tool you can use is called "walking out of the souk" ( a souk is a market)
Suddenly, the buyer has all the power if the seller chases them.
Unless the seller lets them go, of course, and then the power is all with the seller. So you only walk out of the souk if you are confident the buyer needs to sell.
It is a lesson which I use in business all the time.
Am I being too hopeful or could this be what we are doing?
there is no way barca will come crawling offering eto the deal is dead now
They don't have the luxury of an oil tycoon paying for all their transfer targets. IMO they want the money as much as we want the player.BlueMoonie said:Didsbury Dave said:I take the point fellas.

arsed?
No - Eto is a bit old to be paying that sort of cash for, even if he is world class.
Not arsed myself - mods please merge if need be.

Done, but maybe it would have just been easier to hit reply rather than post ;-)
