Thing I don't get though, I've yet to see another top manager refuse to sign a player because his price was to high if his owners were willing you pay it!
Jürgen has said before that's it's not his money, but surely if the money men were to say it's ok, then he wouldn't have to worry.
Everything has to be taken is context of the players the manager wants are they available?..if you say they are all available at a price at what point does it seek making sense for the club?
We want Pulisic...we value him at 50 million...we value Lemar at 60 million and Oblak at 90 million...all are identified by the manager, all are within his Summer budget + Countihio...but not much else.
Call Dortmund and tell them you want Pulisic now and they say OK everybody has they're price and he is now 90 million...do you then sacrifice one of Lemar or Oblak? and pay the extra 30 million for say 3 months of service?
Your answer will be pay whatever it takes and just get it done, likely in the real world and within the club there is XXX available and it can be spent but in order to get one thing accomplished you may have to sacrifice something else.
The argument of the owners and how they operate is up for debate but there is nothing either you, I or anybody on this forum is going to do about so probably just best to focus on reality and what the manager is trying to do and the reasons behind them.
