We should be careful we don't get stung here.
Why go in waving our big wads, when we might be able to wait for the Bulls to just crumble, then we can get Bateman as a free agent?
Similar to when Everton paid Rangers £5.5 million for Jelavic, only for the Scottish club to go t!ts up weeks later, when Jelavic could have walked off on a free and saved any buying club the large transfer fee.

What if there are other clubs interested who will swoop in under our noses and pick him up?
If Jelavic was available on a free transfer do you think he would have gone to Everton...? No chance, he would have ended up with his pick of clubs and there were a few big clubs that wanted strikers and would have been willing to pay wages Everton can't.
