That's it. Pretty obvious though we never wanted to send much money this window so this Sancho excuse was pretty handy
Excuse. haha!
Agreed. Dortmund get some stick on this forum, and I dislike them with their "You love to see it" stuff - but at the end of the day, we're the arrogant ones to disregard Dortmund's stance of what they value him at and us thinking we can just delay until they "succumb to our whim" and accept a weaker deal. They have no reason to sell. They have an exciting, young team that will have another good run at Bundesliga and have a crack at going far into the Champions League. They'll get even more for Sancho next season.
We knew how much they wanted - it's not an obscenely out-there price for a player of his quality and potential. It's not as if they've placed a "£700million" price tag on him.
If we weren't happy to pay close to what they wanted - then we should have walked away months ago and got a suitable replacement.
Absolute nonsense.
Is everyone on this forum a negotiation king?
It's a HUGE sale worth in excess of 100M Euros, it's never as easy as you think it is you simply don't go to Dortmund and offer the asking price. You negotiate. Hence the term "Transfer Negotiations" - then you have personal terms which includes wages, bonuses etc etc, image rights, agent fees etc etc.
Sancho is one of if not the most exciting young prospect in recent years & you all think it's simply as easy as offering what they want?!
Thing is if Woody was to pull off an amazing deal that suits both us and Dortmund you'd all be singing his praises. This forum is fickle and full of entitled bunch of FIFA/FM armchair managers who are bitter at seeing the opponents spunk money left right and center and somehow their doing it better than us. Heck the Havertz deal has taken almost as long as the Sancho deal and yet Chelsea are lauded as some sort of Transfer kings. Get over yourselves.
Ask yourself this. Have you ever bought a car from someone tried and barter the price down and then come to a suitable medium?
Spurs leading Bale chase according to Ogden, Grealish has signed a new deal.
Hope Woody knows what he’s doing.
Oh the irony considering that a large portion of this forum don't want Bale and were a little cautions with Grealish.
