If you haggle and do it well over time you end up with a 5M saved here, a couple million saved there. Next thing you know you have that extra 5-10M you need to get another deal over the line.It's pretty embarrassing to be haggling over such a small fee. Buy him now to allow us time to shift Nacho or Kola - we do not need 3 left backs of international standard.
Nothing wrong with intense negotiating imo, especially when there's no time pressure.
