surely players have their prepared destination, if they then have their heart set on a move to that club, the agent can't say "you can't move there now because they won't pay me an extraordinary amount". Players have other representatives, don't they?
There's thousands of gifted players out there at the end of the day, leicester showed you don't even need the most talented players anymore, hard work can prevail over it, so teams should happily tell players they can get better value elsewhere if they're being taken for mugs, i'd like to think we will be a club like that. Seems as though we didn't bow down to teams like porto's demands, so it's hopeful on that front.
