WC assumptions on a deal

I was listening to Orlando Bravo do a paper LBO in one of their podcasts and they were going over sources and uses, I know he was being very loose with it but he mentioned negotiating a good working capital. What does he mean by this/how does this work?

Bump. On what grounds is WC added to the purchase price? I’m assuming it is relevant because WC is the net value of assets that could be quickly liquidated?

I also see that WC is defined in different ways such as net working capital or operating working capital, some which use cash, current portion of LTD, and some that don’t.

I don’t mean to hijack OP’s question but this coincidentally was on my mind earlier.
