Why do I remember them agreeing to a £17m bid, then Lyon bid £25 and we matched, then we went to £30 and they were happy, now they want £36?

Theres no need for Everton to withdraw their bid.
Simply put, if Barcelona or Mina are demanding too much and overstepping their bounds, you tell them you are pursuing other targets, and then you do, hard. You let them know you still would prefer them as first option, but that the moment you strike a deal with another target its off the board. A good negotiator, as I suspect Brands is, never closes the door on it, but doesnt rely on a single target, and should be pursuing MULTIPLE ones at the same time. If it looks like the 1st target is being unreasonable and you agree terms on #2? You pull the trigger. If not its an effective tactic for forcing #1 to move quicker or get out of your way.
