In the great grand scheme of things our money is peanuts and the fishing grounds are a far more complicated conversation involving global conservation and resource management issues.
The "punish the UK" bit is unsurprising as we still keep trying to have our cake and eat it. The treaties we signed up to are clear and if we repudiate them, all bets are off and we're just another third country looking for a deal. The EU didn't create this problem we did and both parties are struggling to cope with an Article 50 process thrown in as an afterthought with no real procedures to support it.
Tusk and Barnier will follow logic, that's what European politicians and bureaucrats are trained to do. They'll find ways to bend rules in negotiation but for that they need a reasonable basis to start from.
There are lots of suitable models around, EEA being an obvious one, but none of those models can work unless the UK govt accepts the role of the ECJ in specific contexts like Switzerland, Norway and others do.
As long as the ECJ is one of the idiot "red lines" our only recourse is a completely customised relationship and good luck with figuring that out and implementing it within a year
The transition phase is designed to allow time to develop new systems to implement a new relationship until those systems are in place it seems entirely sensible that we operate the old system and that doesn't stand still. Trying to work with a hybrid during the transition period is simply bonkers.
