It's gone again
Exactly.
The values being bandied about suggest Schalker originally wanted £2m. If we get him for £1.5m that's a reduction of 25% which is very good business.
People certainly wouldn't be arguing about us trying to haggle for that 25% off if the initial valuation was £20m for Willian.
It's a bit like saying you'd be happy to pay £3 for a Dairy Milk if someone offered it to you. It's not a lot of money but it's still a ridiculously high price.
I agree 100% and I kinda think Holtby will come this window. That said, faith in a team/manager can be shown for a very small price sometimes (on a case by case basis) and still we hear of price wars.Its very unlikely we will get Willian IMO, but this reasoning always irks me a little (not aimed at you mate, but I've seen this a lot) Deals are valued on their own individual merits, taking a host of variables into consideration, regardless of the potential 'size' of the deal. In other words, you don't just pay somebody whatever they're demanding instantly because its not a particularly high priced deal. I could never envisage Levy abandoning his rigid business principles - no matter what deal he's working on for any amount. We/he has business image to protect and maintain and that sets a dangerous precedent for future business.
I got a screen shot of the story but cant post from phone
Maybe the club's waiting for Schalke to release a statement on their OS first.
