Sweet Jesus - this is a 75 million pound deal being negotiated not buying a plasma TV from Dixons. By all accounts both clubs seem to be having productive and amicable talks and are discussing the Payment structure - the same as in any similar deal - so, until we hear some concrete news otherwise there's no point getting upset about how Barca are handling things.
In addition, the bulk of the deal has likely been agreed already and Barca are holding off the announcement so that we can bid for our targets at other clubs without getting fleeced - taking a tip from the way the Bale transfer was done.
And how so many seem to know exactly how far our hands are tied without knowing any details of Suarez's contract or even an accurate figure for his buyout clause is completely beyond me.
His release fee was negotiated last season by Suarez and his lawyer at the time of signing his new bumper contract - obviously he would have arrived at the figure after taking soundings from interested clubs and there's relatively little we could do about that - in the end we will have got far more than our money's-worth and made a staggering profit on him.
I sometimes think people lose all touch with reality through sheer greed.
