Then pull out of the deal, nothing can be signed off until Jan 1st anyway
Get the fee agreed and sort the deal out in principle, Smells like another fake bid or Utd trying to hurry WBA into meeting there valuation
I would like to think we have been talking to Man Utd for a while if we are definitely interested. We were dire in the last window.
All preparations should have been done before window, I would also like to hope we had foreseen another club come in for the same player and that we had fully evaluated him and we know how much we are willing to pay. If it goes beyond our top valuation then we move on to Plan B.
That is how I would prepare for the window.
