I believe we walked away from the mad money they wanted for Sancho the first year and got his price down the second. Bruno I'm fairly sure we didn't pay the asking price. You haven't answered any of my questions either. Oh and enlighten me on how our rivals don't negotiate and how negotiating a deal isn't professional.
We walked away because we found out he signed for an extra year. They had every right to ask £100+ so we waited a year. I’m sure we paid Bruno asking price. Based off memory I could be wrong.
Liverpool and City have done their primary business and if Abramovich was still at Chelsea, they would too.
History shows us that we get our signings in at the end of the window, which is what I meant when I said professional. Of course you negotiate but since we can still only complete one signing at a time, I feel we would run more efficiently if we dealt with our primary targets early, like our rivals.
All you see everyday is paper talk. You don’t get that with City or Liverpool. They negotiate a lot better than we can.
How long was we linked with Nunez?….just to hear one day Liverpool are in for him and a week later signing was completed.
Just to add, I’ll be surprised if Barca don’t get exactly what they want for Frenkie.
