What do you mean by this? I'd think it is the other way around? Wouldn't we be forced to overpay in order to secure players we want when the deadline is approaching fast, when we sign players late?
Also, if you choose to wait the chances of getting into a bidding war with other clubs are higher, if the player is good enough.
Look at how BVB bought Dembele. That is very intelligent way of doing business.
You have to take your time in negotiation.if a club accepted your 1st offer then you probably overpaid man.Just like we did with Arda deal. Atletico talked about how smooth the deal went.I don't want to see us doing that often
It isn't about waiting,our club rarely waits unless you belive in the garbade the media through,but it is about taking our time to finish deals and negotiate and to see what is available in the market.
Look at Benatia deal for example,in June Roma wanted 60M but in July they changed their mind and sold him for 27M.there are always good deal actually late in the market because of selling clubs changing their minds.
Again,I don't see anything wrong with the way we finish the deals timing and negotiating wise tbf.And it is easier for club like BVB to finish deals with teenagers than a club like Barca moving for many established players or even for prospect like Lemos whom Las Palmas bought for 2M but now want us to pay 10M more for him.
BTW,we had agreement for Davinson Sanchez smoothly with no one knowing anything but it was his agent who broke the deal.The way BVB finish deals is one of the ways we do it too
