I thought we had pretty much agreed a price but the issue was how much of that is add ons and whether there’s a sell on fee.
In which case it isn’t really about holding out for the price they’ve set, it’s securing the best deal for the club.
“His price is £45m + £5m in add ons and a 25% sell on fee” is not a clear line in the sand.
Which seems to imply he’s posturing and just trying to cover his arse before both sides give a little and get a deal done.

@_pauljoyce on Tyler Dibling: “Everton recognised last weekend that it’s a very difficult deal to do. Everton feel that it’s going to have to take Southampton to really climb down [on valuation] for it to get done, & I think they’ll be looking elsewhere.” #saintsfc @TimesSport
