Aurier. There's no denying his quality and he may come cheap. Massive upgrade on Moses and players from the French league usually adjust well to the PL.Time to move on then. Tierney would be much a good choice, contrasts witb Alonso well atm. We could even go in for Mendy as well and it wouldn't cost 60m+.
The trouble with having these specific positions is teams who have good players there don't want to sell them. Antonio may have to think outside the box for WBs
There's no need to piss about and have them reject another bid because they feel disrespected. Unless you want to spend an entire summer going after him. Finish the business early and move on to other targets.Or lower our price and add on to his propsed wages. Why pay 60 after he's said he wants to leave? Give him the incentive to push harder
I think break egos are the break down of many transfers, if you want to get it down get it done I agree, they all want reputations as iron clad negotiators.There's no need to piss about and have them reject another bid because they feel disrespected.

They've turned it down. Why offer it again when the situation changes? You think the Chinese would offer 70m or whatever again for Costa now?There's no need to piss about and have them reject another bid because they feel disrespected.

Fwiw I think Juventus are happy to accept 55.2m or whatever we've bid. I think they rejected it as way of saying to Sandro that they don't want him to leave. If Sandro hands in a transfer request perhaps they'd accept the same offer?They've turned it down. Why offer it again when the situation changes?

If he really wants to come here let him push and give HIM incentive. How many transfers have we been involved with where the player was indecisive and we kept throwing money at clubs only for them to say no we want more? I'll be shocked if Juve don't try to add on more to the 60 before selling to us. 'Sandro wants to leave, we'll happily sell him for 65.' They don't want to be seen as pushovers either.
So your idea is to offer LESS? and that will make them not be seen as pushover?They've turned it down. Why offer it again when the situation changes? You think the Chinese would offer 70m or whatever again for Costa now?

How would that work? Ring us up and tell us they've changed their minds? Once an offer is rejected do we have to place the bid again or they can just change their stance on the same bid?Fwiw I think Juventus are happy to accept 55.2m or whatever we've bid.

Fair enough [emoji28] I was just curiousWas just simply saying maybe Juventus would entertain the same offer. Couldn't really careless about the minutiae, life's too short.
