Yes. Its like bidding on a house but offering a price you would pay for a car.

Nobody would be stupid enough to put a house up for sale, not signify what the asking price is and then be insulted when people offer less than what they have in their mind.

What part of using the White transfer as a template didn't you understand? That is not giving a price but gives context for the transfer.

I might have had one lager too many but you seemed to be saying that (50 million) Ben White is the template, not the expected fee. So the expected fee could realistically be between 40 and 60 million. We don’t know so are hopeful that it’s nearer 40 and have started negotiating at 30.

You seem to want us to start at 50 when you might take 45 for all we know.

Leeds United went down the pan negotiating the way you seem to expect us to.

I get that you want to keep the player and defend your club but honestly, spell out what exactly City should have done as an opening move in your opinion because I am truly lost.

It should of started at close to £40m. If you don't want to pay very close to £50m you should have left us alone. He made it clear he couldn't turn you down, we made it clear that we wouldn't stand in his way if a reasonable offer came in.

You have history of paying around £50m for defensive players. You even paid £45m for a similar quality player this very transfer window. But you are dealing with little old Brighton so you thought the offer should reflect that and we should be grateful in doubling our money in a 12 month period.

That’s why his price was £100mill more. If the reports are true that City put 4 bids in? All 4 bids were rejected by Levy. Bloom has already rejected 1 bid. What people have to understand is Bloom is pretty much like Levy In that sense. Ask Arsenal after negotiationing with Bloom and buying Ben White.

Can we just stop acting like Bloom is a dictator or an inconsiderate person.

Calm down, the money people are discussing. No one knows what the final deal would be.
 
Just pay the £50m if that's what it is. We got Phillips for a good price. We got Erling for a great price, we,ve made millions from our sales. So for the extra 10-15m, pay it, its worth it and we'd still be quids in

I think he will go to you now.I think it will be £45 plus 5 add ons or a player a like McAtee with £40m cash. I don't think it will be much below 50. You paid £40m for Ake from Bournemouth, and this season you paid £45m for Phillips. £30m is an insult and these two players are good examples why we are not being out of order.

So you rate McAtee at £5 Million, thats quite rich of you. There are already reports of Cucurella thinking of throwing the toys out of the pram if the transfer is denied. He will sulk all season with his performance dropping and his value going down to pretty much for what you bought him for. For a reminder, Napoli president wanted £80 Million of us for Koulibaly 2 seasons ago. He was sold for £34 Million this window.
 
So they have decided to play hardball. Can't say I'm surprised.

We have other options like Raum and Sosa. Why do we only focus on Cucurella? Brighton knows we sold Zinchenko and now we have 0 left backs, so they think we have to buy left back. They will try to rob us. Selling Zinchenko before getting left back was not good idea. Bad business from the board.

Then you`re fucking clueless.
