Sunderland offer

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I disagree

This will come as no surprise to most.

Really? An expensive vase is an expensive vase, not matter who the owner is. And in this case, the coach doesn't even own the vase!

Think about it. Gus may think he's worth £5M. Oscar may say £3M. Whoever is the manager/head coach, will be a key player in valuing the club's assets.

 

[glasfryn]

I certainly don't know what happens at Sunderland, but to think Gus has no say is, well, naive.

so you know he has a say in what Sunderland pay for their players

You really think the chairman down to the scout don't know enough about football to have a solid price on players heads? They won't get swayed by a new managers view.

Yeah, 'cause like disagreeing with another poster on a forum is, like, a major 'no, no'! ;-)

 

[B.W.]

I think he might, yes.

I'm sure they all have their opinion. I said Oscar will be a key player in the valuations. Not the one and only valuer.

Well I disagree.

I think you would be a very poor negotiator. IF you are selling, you NEVER give away your min price. Trust me, I used to do it as a job.

When did I say you tell them your MINIMUM price.

Please highlight that part to me.

 

[B.W.]

Well I disagree.

Fair enough.

 

[B.W.]

You didn't, but suggested that it must be the case that the clubs weren't far apart in their bid/valuation. This suggests that you think Sunderland know they only have to raise their £2M bid by a very small amount to secure the deal, i.e. they know that just over £2M is acceptable to Brighton, i.e. they know the minimum valuation. They don't.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

You didn't,

Seems odd that you wrote this then

"think you would be a very poor negotiator. IF you are selling, you NEVER give away your min price."

Any valuation will have been reevaluated under Oscar.

Wouldn't it have gone down though?
Less time on the contract, has stopped being "irreplaceable" and has had form/injury issues for half a season

And also, can you stop telling me what I'm suggesting in my posts. I'm not suggesting anything close to what you are suggesting I'm suggesting.

I said that it is likely the clubs have the basis of the deal and overall cost pretty much agreed and that is more down to the structure of the deal, ie how much up front, how much over time.

Not even CLOSE to what you SUGGEST I am suggesting.

Not for one MOMENT did I suggest that £2m was the fee. I used the £2m in an example of how transfer negotiations take place. I could have written £8m or £10m or any number I wanted.

OK. Tony/David would be a VERY poor negotiator IF he let Sunderland know what the minimum acceptable bid would be. Do you agree with that? If not, I'm happy to explain further.

Quite possibly. Did I say it wouldn't?

You said "The values won't be far apart at all in my view." You're right, you didn't suggest it, you stated it.

What colour is orange juice?

It would depend on the type of orange

What colour is orange juice?

Doesn't that depend on the additives ?
