thomas Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Can we not once just pay the fucking valuation? If they were smart they'd quote us a price 15% above their valuation, await the inevitable "lowball" offer that actually matches their original valuation, then reluctantly agree and congratulate MA/JFK on being shrewd businessmen and tough negotiators. Everyone would win. They'd get what they want, the idiots in charge would walk away thinking they'd gotten a bargain, and we get a cracking player.

Rebellious Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Can we not once just pay the fucking valuation? Did I read somewhere that MA pays transfers all upfront instead of over 3-4 years like some clubs. On 8 mill you can earn up to 3mill interest at 6% in 5 years. I wonder if that's anything to do with him reportedly bidding that bit lower every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Can we not once just pay the fucking valuation? We always do, but it's OUR valuation. We simply won't go above what maximum price is considered to be. So no we will not pay the valuation if theirs is higher. It's how he works - cash on the table - take it or leave it. Mind cash on the table speaks quite loud nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It's how he works - cash on the table - take it or leave it. Mind cash on the table speaks quite loud nowadays. Is it? What evidence is there that we don't negotiate? Every transfer we've done, we've just said a number and walked away? Seems a bit odd to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get the impression we tend to dig our heels in somewhat when it comes to negotiating. I'm sure i've read on numerous occasions that we set a value for a player and simply wont budge.

Mind cash on the table speaks quite loud nowadays. was having this discussion the other day if your choices are 12m in hard cash paid immediately or 20m paid at 4m a year for 5 years depending on your financial health the former might well be the more attractive offer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We'll buy this guy for £13m I reckon.... .....or perhaps he'll fly in on the last day and not have time to sign the contract, therefore we'll be too late to get it done and be fucked. Just being realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 If we really have made a bid I'm sure (this may be placing too much faith in the drunk) we would have checked that either the player is interested in the move or that the club would be willing to sell first.
