I get that but we have identified him, the price isn’t going to come down dramatically but the upside of getting him in earlier and bedded in outweighs saving a bit on his price especially mid season, i am all for negotiating in the summer when no football is to be played but right now we have a crucial few weeks and if he is the man we want get him in.This type of thinking is seen often with fans and i'll hold my hands up, of course i'd have liked a new signing in the first week of January to help the team in these crucial matches. But the reality is that any new player is likely to come in on a 5 or 6 yr deal, so you really need to be looking at the bigger picture, not just an upcoming set of matches against some difficult opponents. The club need to get the right players in at the right prices, we know there isn't much wiggle room for mistakes.
