I wonder what it is about Villa that makes Liverpool so reluctant to meet our prices.
I don't think it's personal.

You drive a hard bargain and so you should.

You reckon Liverpool drove a hard bargain for Andy Carroll?

75 million for Carroll, Henderson and Downing?  They must be tough negotiators up there.

They got £50M for Torres.

If you sold your house for 300k would you spend 200k on a Vauxhall Nova?  (Apologies to owners of said vehicle.)

I heard that the price for Torres was set in reference to the price for Carroll - ie Liverpool identified the Divvy Ponytail as the replacement, and told Chelsea Torres was 15m more than whatever they had to pay.
