As I said earlier, maybe we should have stuck to our guns with our £100m valuation of Rom? Probably going to end up paying the £50m but it needs doing today for everyone's sake. Hopefully another couple as RK has hinted at. Irrespective, Mr Moshiri, thank you for the best transfer window ever. I don't think he and Mr Walsh have received the credit they deserve.

Some media saying that United waved a £10 million fee for Rooney to get the Lukaku deal done. So maybe we did get the £100 mil we were looking for.

As much as I don't agree with £50m for GS, I thought with did get £100m for Lukaku. £75m plus £15m in add one and £10m for Rooney. I may be mistaken.

Let me guess loads of people are going to start on about don't care about the money. Heard all that jazz before.

It does get repetitive sometimes eh mate, GuernseyBlue.

I care about money. I care a lot about money, I need a new fridge!

I expect this to be done soon enough. We've negotiated well this summer and will do again with this deal. No need to get hung up on the figures. What he's worth to RK is what we'll pay whether it be 50, 60 or 100mil.
It will all be within what we can afford to pay or else we won't get him.

Well Toffee Al. Ring Bill and tell him to offer 50 mill less the cost of a quality fridge and well all be happy. Wouldn't want you drinking warm beer mate.

NBTB Lukaku was 75 mill plus 15 addons plus Rooney (10 Mill) , just saying.

Cheers billscocodiletears and Toffee Ace so i was not mistaken, he did cost £100m. ToffeeAL you need a fridge, i can't even afford one.
I don't mind Swansea playing hard ball and demanding a certain price for their player. In fact, me that's hung up on money, I respect it. The part that gets me is moving the goal posts. Seemingly they have uped the price from their original asking price.
The business I'm in and pretty much any business I've ever come across that is a big no no. Someone offers you the price you asked then you accept. Simple as. Works the other way too. When you offer a price you have to stand by it and do not kick on the deal (which is actually worse imho) .
If I was buying something and offered the asking price and then the seller suddenly decides to up the price after its been matched. I'd tell them to stick it up their you know what.

Then again we are all individual creatures and have our own opinions. In the event of signing GS i will obviously support him. Also if he costs £50m and does the business with us next year I will gladly eat my fair share of humble pie with a tasty dollop of cream on top from ToffeeAL's new fridge.
