The club weren't doing the right thing because Brighton held firm on 100M from the off and we kept low balling with pointless bids that were never going to be accepted. If we had gone and offered the 100M this deal would of been done weeks ago, and we have fucked ourselves over royally here.
I keep saying it but forget the fee but look at how we have conducted ourselves in approach to this transfer, it is nothing short of pathetic. A big lesson should be learnt here, either match what they ask or don't waste time bidding
