Ashley keeping the club means he is now going to be responsible for keeping us up. He has to back Rafa basically and if it cost the club £20m, so be it. If we go down after he's put his faith in Rafa's judgement, relegation will be purely down to the manager. This is an “ashley isn’t stupid enough to let us be relegated” post.

Then why have we been haggling over the price of this lad for over a week? Feyenoord aren’t going to shift on their price, so why are we so reluctant to spend that £20m that is apparently readily available? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but most clubs end up buying the players - we don’t. For the sake of €2.5-€5m we could have had this guy in a few days ago integrating with the team ahead of an important game next Wednesday, but no, we’ve gambled on saving a few quid and he’ll not play a part in that game now (even if he does come at all). We’re yet to make an offer that is above our transfer record, but apparently we’re gonna break it and apparently we’re keen to strengthen. Caulkin seems less than confident that we’ll do this deal, what will be the excuse for that? The money is available, apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negotiation typically goes like: stage 1 - daft offer you know isn't going to be accepted stage 2 - more sensible offer stage 3 - agree to meet in the middle Ashley's negotiation process appears to be: stage 1 - daft offer you know isn't going to be accepted stage 2 - slightly higher daft offer that isn't going to be accepted stage 3 - walk away Ironically, when someone else tries a similar negotiation technique with him he calls them a timewaster.

STM Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 It seems to me that if Jorgensen was valued at 15m by Feyenoord, that our opening bid would have been 6m. It's not about budgets, it's about feeling as if we've won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their manager commenting afterwards that it would take a 'stupid bid' for them to consider selling their best players. Well, if there's anything NUFC can do, its 'stupid' bids.... it just won't be in the way he hopes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
