Yes! Les finally has got his finger out his arse and realised that we are going to have to pay significant fees to bring players in. Pretty sure that Celtic would have had in their mind, from day one, that they would accept a 10 million bid for Foster. So much faffing about was pointless. Great...

I can understand Schneiderlin. Let's be honest it must be awful having a club that appreciates your talent so much that they really, really want to keep you and believe in you so much that they want to build the team around you. Poor guy. Tbh, I'd go on strike if the club had that attitude...

Exactly....and to be fair offering that amount would have just pissed Celtic off, who'll now probably hold out for more.

Yes I understand that but the fact of the matter is that it seems that we don't want to pay a penny over what a player is "worth", which is ridiculous after selling 90 million pounds worth of players. We have the luxury to pay a little extra to bring players in now but we care way too much about...

I've herd differently. I think this is like when we first went in for Foster, everyone was quoting 7 million, then it turned out to be 4.5. We will probably end up offering that amount but further down the line, when we realise there is no chance we are going to get him for less.

Who said to offer whatever they demand??

It's not about going in strong. It's about offering sensible amounts, at least close to what they are worth. I'm sure that if we were to offer something like 14 million for Rojo, we'd have the bid accepted or be very close. He's a world cup finalist, in the team of the tournament. Is he worth...

A while back we apparently offered 4.5 million for Fraser Foster which was just embarrassing and apparently we've had a 9.5 million bid rejected for Rojo, which is obviously too low. I understand the club want the get the "best deals" but for me the best deal is to bring the player in asap...
