lol, not sure whether there's much truth to the Juve story, but if so then who cares? We owe them nothing, we made our bid, we set a deadline for Boca. If they accept by midnight tonight, then fine, if not, we move on and it's Boca who lose out. Any other variables in the story shouldn't be our concern, if Juve are trying to be an obstacle, that's Boca's problem and not ours. They deal with it by midnight or it's over.
We need to assert ourselves on the market more, in fact, we need our management to be firm and focused on the priorities at hand. On the market, we should give no quarters, we go for our targets, with focused timescales on how quickly we want to conclude deals. These days, far too much power is given to the player imo, they waste time and spend months if not years making decisions, so I'm supportive of the approach of setting deadlines, both to the clubs we deal with and to the players we are approaching. The point is our focus should be solely on ourselves, anyone we deal with is to work on our terms, no exceptions.
That should also be the case when managing the club too. Those in the club are family and should be treated correctly, but those who don't act correctly are expendable and there should be no hesitation when dealing with them.
