Agreed, and the clear message it sends out to teams a little strapped for cash is, "push us for a fair price, but take the piss and we are gone leaving you with a disappointed unmotivated expensive player"We walk away when we are getting shafted by other owners or players. We haven’t missed any of the players mentioned. We have a clear and established message, you piss us about and we’ll piss off, easy as that and it’s a better strategy than frivolous spending on money grabbers and greedy fucking owners, leave that to the needy cunts from Trafford or elsewhere.

Aguero what ?Mbappe
Lukaku
Kane
Messi
Ronaldo
all wanting to move/moved this close season.
Haaland with a significant buy out clause.
Aguero told he would play second fiddle if he stayed.
Lets see what happens over the next week but making Kane our plan a,b and c isn't looking that clever at the moment.
He's shot , knackered , bust , funked no way as he's of any use to us .

Nothing wrong with debating the pros and cons of our transfer strategy in a thread titled er 'Transfer Strategy'. It would be more interesting to learn your views on transfer strategy than it is to discover that any view you disagree with is childish or ragish.Should now rename this thread to over entitled kids view of transfer strategy.

Maybe it was lucky we missed out on above targets as hardly set the world alightFollowing today’s developments in terms of Kane staying put and it looking likely we won’t be making any further signings this window I thought it’d be interesting to have a balanced discussion on our overall transfer strategy and wether the likes of Khaldoon (who promised the fans we would replace Aguero in his end of season interview), Txiki, Ferran and Omar should be scrutinised.
I actually see an argument for both sides here. One on hand I admire the fact we won’t pay over the odds for our targets whilst on the other it’s pretty concerning we failed to replace Kompany and had a poor season that year and have now seemingly repeated the mistake with Aguero.
We have consistently missed out on Peps targets during his tenure here such as Sanchez, Maguire, Jorginho, Kane to name a few. I noticed tonight Pep has confirmed he will be leaving after his contract ends- This of course could be totally unrelated to this topic but thought it was interesting in terms of the timing after missing out on Kane.
Debate away (politely please- we are all blues).

Yes. We identified a target - the best striker in the league, convinced the said player to join us, we were prepared to pay circa 50 per cent more than the player was worth, we were also prepared to break the British transfer record…. What more could we possibly do? Looks like we’d go to £150m but Levy was constantly moving the goal posts…. We just can’t do business like that and sometimes it’s the stronger and better decision to walk away - even if it does result in tantrums on the bluemoon forum. Remind me how Barcelona got a billion into debt?

Fully agree on the financial point and walking away, but wonder how you see that fitting into an overall strategy. Are we now moving away from our model and only looking at buying finished pieces, or will we continue to buy and shape promising players (I appreciate given the price that Grealish falls somewhere between both poles)?Yes.

Trouble is nobody knows what really happened; what we offered & what Levy actually said - if anything
Our transfer strategy can only be measured against our success - so guess it works :)
