Some people attitudes to our spending on here amaze me, I cant beleive they would spend their money the same way they are expecting the club to. With no evidence at all we are being accused of dragging our feet, not being willing to pay the money, risking out on losing the player. As someone else pointed out how do you know its not Blues stalling on the deal trying to see if other offers come in to start a bidding war.
Personally I think paying 75% of his wages is a good deal on the face of it, however if a deal could be done where we pay 50% of his wages then paying 75% is a poor deal and bad business for the club.
As for not spending the money, Mulumbu has just signed his 3rd improved contract in 12 months, theres a record deal supposedly on the table for Odemwingie and Gera deal all but done, all on good money. Without our dealings and negotiations in the tranfer markets onver the past 6/7 years we would not be near the position we are in now but it is still not good enough for some people
