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.
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.

Nothing wrong with intense negotiating imo, especially when there's no time pressure.

Yeah, look at Kilmarnock, failed to get through EL qualifiers, lost to runners up of Welsh league!

In fact I just found this, pretty much sums up the quality in Scotland;

Did you know: Kilmarnock have won the seventh-most major honours among football clubs in Scotland (Total 0) :rofl:
Eh? Trying to say Killie haven't won a trophy? They've won the league, Scottish cup and in recent years the league cup.
If you're going to post bullshit to belittle the SPL, atleast do some research on it first.

Good players crop up out of subpar leagues all the time. This notion that just because the player is in a league well below the PL that he will never make it here is illogical.Having said that, this is why we're trying to bargain where possible. It is still a higher risk than other leagues.

You don't really think I'm going to spend time looking for facts about some second rate Scottish team do you! Wiki is gospel!

'Do it well' is critical as if you don't you end up missing out on targets of quality - Alonso and Suarez spring to mind and if we are not careful Tierney and Zaha.

Its evident we have the money.

Maybe price is just getting too steep for the individual.

We have a player like Telles available for around 5m more, Junior Firpo for a few million less or maybe feel like beating Sp**s for another player so snap up Sessegnon.
 
This is my take on it.... Because of teirney mystery illness... Celtic were never going to sell teirney knowing he would never pass a medical... But because they have been banging the drum on his worth, if he was allowed to leave he would have failed the medical and this would have caused his perceived price to collapse.... So just let whoever wants him to keep bidding until they stop... So now Celtic have turned down £25million...so in theory Teirney is good enough to play for us and worth at least £25mill.... But when he returns to full fitness if ever (remember he, s broken down 3 times last season and misdiagnosed with operations treating the misdiagnosed problem) his stock is still sky high....
