How can Arsene, bemoan, Barca coming in cheap with their bid for Fabregas, then shove in an equally derisory bid for Cahill, Everyone knows he's got money, and everyone knows he needs to shore up his defence, everyone knows he's interested in Cahill, so why offer a reported 8 million, you know bolton aren't going to sell him for that, especially when the less accomplished, experienced jones went from blackburn for twice that, obviously factoring bonuses, and what not into that figure...
Just fucking man up and put in a proper offer, or is the offer there to appease the fans by saying, look we're trying, but they won't accept our money, oh well, we'll have to rely on the players I bought in previously..
Same seems to be true for Spurs keep putting in bids for players and yet keep waiting for the selling club to get anxious and snatch the proffered money out of their hands. We've been stalling on that deal for that brazilian striker from Internacional for the whole of the transfer window, either shit or get off the pot.
God I hate the dreg ends of the transfer window. Identify targets EARLY, put in offer EARLY, negotiate terms, get the player you want. Use preseason to integrate players into the squad, rather than the early matches of the season, when you want to be getting off to a good start...
