But yet we are still negotiating a fee? 35m was the first report and that sounded reasonable with add ons. Somewhere bloom got greedy and hence no deal. Walk away and leave Brighton to pick up the pieces. £45m with add ons would be a sensible landing ground.Its not as clear cut as that. Brighton have a strong hand due to the contract in place. They are under no pressure to sell. Id tend to agree its slightly high but if we want him enough thats the deal….
15m - 50m? He must be the best lb in world football. 1 good season and the jump is massive.
Yea and we all were delighted at the fee. How is he getting in now?In the same way the value of Torres went from 17m to 55m between us buying him and selling him to Barcelona.

Point is that clubs get fleeced over fees from time to time. It doesn’t mean the player is worth the fee. Ferran is not currently worth what Barca paid. Cucu is not worth £50m plus with 1 good season. Bloom is pulling a levy on us. I understand the points you make re contract and it gives bloom a reason to push for a high fee. Player valuation is not accurate to the quality of said player. We are getting charged essentially because Cucu has a long contract.Pretty good I hear. Although the cules are a fickle bunch. What is your point?
Values of players go up based on both performance and availability i.e length of contract. There are many examples.
They're just getting back what they paid for him.De ligt to Bayern for 80mill euros, worlds fucked.
That’s cheap when you look at Maguire to the ragsThey're just getting back what they paid for him.
99.9% of deals look cheap compared to Slabhead.That’s cheap when you look at Maguire to the rags
Hahahaha, that club really is pathetic. Looking forward to seeing how much more of a mess they can get themselves in :)99.9% of deals look cheap compared to Slabhead.
not much to flap about now that haaland's back to training
I would say its because his 4 years left on his contract, its what Bloom values him at.Point is that clubs get fleeced over fees from time to time. It doesn’t mean the player is worth the fee.

Both Dortmund and Bayern are interested as well.
Very, usually.Martin Blackburn from the Sun:
Guardiola has dismissed reports he is after another forward despite allowing both Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling to leave earlier this month.

How reliable is Blackburn?

If it's not until next season I want nkunku with that sweet sweet 60mill release clauseA winger will probably not come in until next season.. I think most think that now. Who?
Thats usually how City roll, organically. Wont do anything forced, I dont think this summers overhaul has taken them by surprise really.
Blackburn used to be very reliable I think.
