Are Real Madrid the most obnoxious negotiators ever?

We will happily sell you a player we don't want for a good profit.

Well, now that it's all agreed, we actually want a few million more.

Wait a bit, we're getting a new manager, he wants to see the player first.

The new manager wants him. Not for sale.

Wait, the new manager doesn't want him but we're going to massively inflate the price and sell him to someone else now.

Haha, our mistake, they don't want to buy him after all. Still want him?

Oh, while you're thinking about it, we're going to swap him for the other guy you want so you can't have either.

So, will you be paying cash or check?

I'd be getting concerned if I were a Man U fan. I sicerely hope he screws up big time. Nice falling out with the puppet master publicly would be nice.

and should imagine that he knows a players worth better than most. Just because we have money I see no reason to blow it by paying stupid amounts.

More in agreement with PV's observation that we are difficult to deal with, we negotiate very hard and don't just roll over and say "another £10m? Okay"

whether that was due to a hold up from RM or not I dont know.. Surely if the intial pursuit was as strong as it was later we could have had Higs wrapped up a while back even at a price cheaper to what is being quoted.. We allowed a cashed up Napoli to enter and create an havoc ...

[Bromley Gooner]

that's it

If you have a boat load of cash and you want players you cant always play hard ball and I would imagine he has lost us lots of players over the years.
