Txiki thinks it is. And I kinda agree. FFP and all :)
It does make you wonder if we do have an issue with FFP, with the amount of cash we have generated and our reluctance to pay Brighton.

I would love to know how much the hidden costs of Haaland have cost us, a substantial amount I would think, not that I have any issue in paying it.

Well I sincerely hope it doesn`t have any shit decisions to help balance the books by letting Bernie go for the sake of a full back.
 
Sorry, this is nonsensical talk. There is nothing to take seriously. Team A is interested in a player and negotiates with Team B.

This notion that Bloom is stubborn is silly. No one cares. Like you pointed out, he too has pressures to deal with. Including having a reputation as a bad owner amongst agents.

No one is different or special. He is simply going to negotiate like everyone else. Either he and his opposite number finds a compromise or they both walk.


If Bloom is as smart as everyone keeps claiming he is, then this deal gets done. Coz surely he is smart enough to recognize that his team loses more if this breaks down.

He'd keep his tough guy reputation though. I'm sure that's worth something :)

Well said mate. Sick of seeing this chat about Bloom. He played poker successfully but that is irrelevant unless at one point his pocket kings told him they wanted to join another player instead.

It's football. He has a player a more successful team want and the player wants to go. He wants to maximise profit, we want to minimise expenditure. All standard stuff in any transfer. Take the low up front fee and stick loads of add-ons in and both will be happy I would expect.
 
Seriously !! Are you serious ??
Spurs did the same and City hierarchy prudently walked away from the deal. When we are aspiring to be among the best even if it sounds arrogant but yes Brighton are quite a few levels below us, respect should also be mutual, have you seen apart from West ham maybe how many clubs respect us?

Have you just been on holiday to Disneyland?

That's daft. Many on here didn't believe Bloom would insist on 50m in spite of different journos and media saying it, and some still believe we can sign Cucu for 40m. Pointing out facts isn't nonsensical talk, denying them is, though.

It’s the media don’t respect us mate and any fan base has its share of dickheads. Still some good fans out there who just want to keep their best players.
 
Ferran, Khaldoon, Tkiki same thing.
No it's not, people trot out the Txiki narrative. simply because it's easier than blaming Khaldoun and sounding ungrateful. Point is we are very well run and the club won't play fast and loose with our finacial position. I'm sur e Txiki could sign anyone he wanted if given a limitless budget. He isn't, nor should he be.

Every single Brighton fan has repeated that Bloom has never mentioned a price. So 50 million is a made up claim. It won't be the first time media makes up a price.

Besides, Bloom's price is equally dependent on factors outside of himself just like everyone else.

Cucurella handing in a transfer changes Bloom's power. The fans reaction to the player, the teammates reaction him. Agents reaction to the treatment of a player seeking to leave. All these are pressure points. Just like City wanting Cucurella, having an opening at Leftback and Cucurella being a great fit all are pressure points for us.

For the record, you haven't pointed out anything that's factual.

Here are the facts:

We put in a bid that was rejected: 30 million. That's it Everything else is speculation.

None respect us, but we don`t operate like that as it isn`t the given thing in the UAE and we conduct our business with good manners.
If it doesn`t suit us, as you say we walk away but Spurs and Brighton are on a level playing field (as other clubs are) when we deal with them, irrespective of the "size" of that club.

How do you know we put in a 30m bid? From the same sources that say Brighton's valuation is 50m, right? Gaughan, best City journo, confirmed it in his article on our transfer summer 2-3 days ago, the Brighton journo, their mouthpiece confirmed it too, Romano wrote the gap between the valuations is big (how could it be big if theirs isn't 50m or more?), etc.

Try to be a bit more coherent, I don't have time to answer stupid posts.
