She never seemed that astute though.

If I was running Lens I'd be holding out for whatever the maximum compensation fee is from Palace, safe(ish) in the knowledge that Sage is clearly our No1 target.
If Parish tries the old 'Here is my lower but final offer, take it or I'll go elsewhere' tactic, I would simply say 'I doubt it mate. Your other options would either cost you much more (Lampard, McKenna) or they are totally free of charge (Dyche, Toppmoller) yet you've chosen not to employ them and to come in for our man instead, which tells me you don't fancy them'.
Besides which, if the guy is under contract then fairs fair. Perhaps he'll throw a strop if he really wants to come to us, perform poorly at work, all that stuff, but that's pretty counter productive for him really. He's not Pep f***ing Guardiola. He's only been a manager for a couple of years, so Lens well be pretty confident that he'll continue to do his best for them if this move doesn't come off.
If it's really £2m or so then I can't imagine it'll be a problem. We've probably lost that much down the back of the sofa over the last few years, such is the wacky world of the premier league.

Beat Red Rum and cost me money.
Lacroix will stay for that and possibly Mateta something of a slug fest!

Danny Dyer's nearly here. Innit.
If the board don’t get a move on we will be in a right pickle

Did the Gold Cup/Grand National double - a rare feat. If my memory serves me right, he won the Gold Cup twice.

I've just watched the race again, won easily in the end. I remember Red Rum being smallish, but l'escargot was huge.
Think one was in Ireland

Looks like we've landed him. Fantastic. Get Hackney in and it's a great start to the summer.
Was thinking of Tied cottage
I'd say you've never done a business deal therefore prehaps it might be you that's the naive one? If there are many moving parts to a deal and for that reason you need to get it done sometimes you have to offer a sweetener to get it over the line. Lens have no investment in Sage coming to Palace and only want him gone with as much compensation as they can get.
They know they can hold the deal up by asking for an unrealistic amount. Equally they know there is a ceiling to what they can expect.
I run my own business and will always try and get the best deal. Thats common sense. Sometimes the best deal is to pay a little bit more and get it done before a rival swoops in and takes that deal from you. Also, common sense

This may keep Mateta
I heard we have tabled a £20m offer for Hackney but Boro holding out for £25m. No Championship player is worth £25m. Hopefully Boro will come down a bit. Hackney wants out and Boro need the money.
