Can’t understand all this just pay what the selling club wants. Who ever buys anything and doesn’t try get a deal. Salesman’s wet dream these people. Car salesman “car is 30k” buyer “ok thank you it’s a deal” said no one ever. It’s exactly the same procedure just on a much bigger scale. It’s called a negotiation.
But Newcastle United literally just caved and offered the exact amount Watford demanded, they're just doing the last bit in installments. But we are, "negotiating." The cars 50k. Imma offer you 40k. Nah, it's 50k, cya. Ok, how about 45k, and then 5k in a payment plan over 12 months. So, 50k then, sure. Haha. Another one bites the dust.
I think Pedro is done and they obviously try to get players at cheap prices which isn't a bad thing. They new Leicester were in bother so chances their arm I guess, but I guess when Chelsea came in paying 70 ms for Fofana that was that. Newcastle still have money to spend and I bet clubs are sitting on bids and the closer they get to Sept 1st the more likely they'll start saying go on then you tight Saudi bastards.
But you’ve got to try. You don’t always get a deal but sometimes you do. If you only ever offer the asking price you never get a deal.
Watford also had an 18y.o. Colombian lad called Yáser Asprilla playing for them today. He's already got 1 cap for Columbia so add him to the swap deal... even though I've never seen him play
Almost all our signings have been dot on the money what clubs are asking for, this change of approach has came with Ashworth tbh. We offered 60m for Diego Carlos.
I’m not surprised how people are so happy to spend other people’s money. I mean what’s £3M ……. X 5 transfers etc
It wouldn't of been 5 transfers because we are only after one of those players. We are after a right sided attacking player, either a FWD like Pedro or a CAM like Maddison. So it would have been and has now become 5m.
We don't know this information it's all. Paper talk really. We bought Bruno at a good price but the papers were totally blind until it was done.
Yeah, Albert spent months negotiating in multiple bars to get a beer for just €1. All it eventually took was the cost of a flight to and holiday in Tenerife. Great business negotiation. That's how it's done.
Another issue since we got the change too tbh, someone is leaking a lot of info. Seems we don't make a move without Sky finding out very quickly. Someone is loose lipped.
Agents clubs and moles everywhere I just can't be arsed joining GG and Roly on their depression campaign just yet.
We’ve bought 3 already and are reputedly looking to buy 2 more. If we are known to just pay the asking price then we’d be paying millions more than if we negotiate each transfer window. I’m guessing but the Club have appointed people to do this who know what they’re doing long term and not just on one deal.
It's my mentality to everything this. Things are much better now, fantastic, now... How can it be even better? That's all I'm thinking, I love the direction we are going and I think they go for the right players, the right manager, the right staff. But it's not my nature to say "Alls good." I'm always looking at what next is there to improve. I do think we will sign Pedro if I think about it logically.
my cheap drinking was mitigation for the flight cost. I then factored in the savings on sunbed costs in the UK so was quids in.
