Wouldn't call trying to get the best deal possible 'dithering'

Totally agree, I don't understand why they just don't go in and match the asking price straightaway. Its not like we're short of cash and the longer it takes the bigger the chance of another club coming in for him.

Hear we go again. The two figures are so close, just pay the asking price!!

I agree with Gingersaint. Nothing wrong trying to get the best deal. I just wish they would get it over the line.

Whilst normally I agree with a good dose of haggling. This time I think we need to bite the bullet if we want and need a player. Time is running out and other teams are circling. We need players in place and settled before liverhamptons game

So, we pay asking price this time, even if we think it is inflated. Then next time? What happens? we get ripped off big time.

"A FOOL and his money are soon parted" is appropriate.

If a guy comes back from negotiating a deal and says "boss, I was successful. I did the deal at the price the supplier dictated and was successful."

So, the boss says "well done, have a bonus."

Oh no he doesn't. He says, "that was my money you p***ed down the drain. You are fired!"

We are SFC not LFC.

We did move on we got Bertrand in on loan with purchase option of 10m. That bid is at least 2 weeks old, I believe we went in with a bid of 9 then upped it to 12 because we were led to believe they would sell at that but they just upped the price again. This is the problem with everyone knowing we are cash rich, they just try to screw you silly.

Its a fair point you make But we are not the only ones looking at Rojo, Just do the deal.

9.) 01 Aug 2014
We have had our budget for players very largely publicised. If we offer 10m for him and the seller asks for 15 and we just match it straight away then every other player we are linked with will just rocket in value. We don't want to go splashing the cash here there and everywhere. We will be setting ourselves up for huge fees for everyone else. Softly softly catchy monkey.

I agree with both sides but if you don't offer enough and lose out to another club with time ticking on we could be left short of options

Using st martins management response to poor transfer deals 'thats my money you have pissed away etc' is this reason that liebherr got rid of nicola and then poch on the basis of signing of gaston and osvaldo.

A cool 22 million pounds worth.

Just a thought

a lot of people said osvaldo would be a bad signing
because of his reputation
but the heirachy did not listen
now his reputation is worse nobody will pay for him foretsaint
