yes his price seems to gradually get higher since we were first linked with him.

best still would imo a 35m price and 1 youngster on loan to them they can use for squad depth which they had problems with last season.

I think the price would get higher if us, or the Dippers, or Chelsea, or the Tags etc, etc were in for him. Brighton have no reason to sell.

£35mill is way off. I would laugh at City for that opening offer. I'm sure Brighton would as well. Player of the season. 4 year contract. Young. Etc. Go in between £40mill-£45mill and work upwards gradually. Brighton might take us seriously then. Sometimes City have to pay the asking and going price. This is one of those occasions. There is no other option.

There's loads of other options. Cucurella is a good player but he's not going to revolutionise the way we play. Which is why I don't really expect this to happen - when we were first linked I assumed there would be a release clause, only way I could see it getting done.

They'll ask for 60m IMO, and are unlikely to budge.
 
I don't think brighton would sell and honestly good on them I wouldn't budge my valuation either if i were them. perhaps time to move to #2 on the list

Agree, think a lot of the headline transfers so far have been players towards the end of their contract and that is setting the tone. And Brighton know we need a left back. So won’t be less than £42m IMO.

£45mill(+add-ons) to £50mill flat should do it??

Brighton have to be realistic. Once a players head is turned by City, Pep, winning the PL title, playing in the CL, winning cups, they are gone.

But if Bloom is going down the Levy road, City should walk away, which is a shame.

The fact that there’s no official or unofficial noises coming from Brighton via a reputable Brighton source is encouraging.

As with players, City would have done their research on Bloom and his characteristic.

Good luck beating him at poker!
 
I hate buying players from other English clubs. The pattern is a familiar one. Chairman quotes monstrous fee that would not be asked if Liverpool or the rags were the bidders. City, rightly, drag their feet. Player declares he is not in the ‘right frame of mind’, but doesn’t hand in transfer request. Media leaps at the opportunity to portray City as remorseless bullies (again, something that would never happen if the dippers were in our position), ruining football, etc. Suitably ‘encouraged’, the Chairman refuses to budge….and around and around we go as the whole thing turns into a circus with City cast as the villain of the piece by the click driven press.
Make a reasonable bid and if the response comes in the form of intransigent media soundbites, walk away and leave them with their unhappy player
