I don't think we are. Being aggresive in the market was when we wanted Kaka so we offered £100m. Being aggresive is United offering £85m for Pogba. Basically meeting the asking price as long as it is reasonable: which the Stones and Sane ones are. Everton have said all along £50m, if we want him pay up if we don't move on.

It was the same last summer when we were arguing for months on end for Sterling and De Bruyne and in the end we near enough paid the full valuation for both.

Like I said I'm not bothered either way as I think we will get them both in the end and I'm sure our negotiators will give themselves a huge pat on the back for saving £1m.

Stone and Sane might be your valuation?

I think your interpretation of aggressive is yester-years when we were trying to fast track to becoming a big dog, but now, we are there, I feel the club are now being more professional (responsible) in dealing in transfers.

I know that doesn't suit a lot of our fans, but they will have to accept we are no longer just going to throw ridiculous amounts of cash around to secure a players services.

Hmmmmm and how well did that aggression go? Did we get Kaka and have United got Pogba?

Reasonable is subjective.

We are a different club now and are behaving accordingly.

I'd say it's going ok so far with plenty to come before 01/09/2016

I am with you here. Gone are the summers of splashing crazy cash. City were our dealers then and getting us hooked like a dealer does. It was fun, but we won't see consecutive summers like 09,10,11 again. We went from playing monopoly, to playing chess. Now it's just getting good pieces, backups, preparing for the future, and the occasional big(ger) name.
 
It's quiet
Hopefully a boom will happen
Cherry on the cake
Keeping an eye on other clubs deals buy before they sell the knock on affect

I'm not complaining about our business but I'm not deluding myself to think we've done brilliantly either.

Gundogan and Nolito are great but we hunted Guardiola for 3 seasons and what with Khaldoon's rhetoric about being furious last season and being aggresive in the market etc. etc. I think people expected a lot more.

We still have 4 fullbacks over the age of 30, an ageing Yaya who should have left 2 summers ago and question marks over the quality of Bony and Fernando etc.

In football their are many variables but I thought we would have planned this window to death, above all others, as it is imperative that we give the best manager in the world the tools required for the job. Seems pathetic that yet again we don't want to meet the £40m valuation for Sane and £50m for Stones just to save what? £5m overall? Who cares if it jeapordises our entire season.

There's no question mark over the quality of Bony. He's shit ;-)
