It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I can’t see us going much higher then this…maybe 5m in add ons?

maybe we stick to this fee and facilitate a deal for Phillips...

Wow well that just livened up my Monday night!

Here's my take on where we are, assuming
1. We sign Rice, Gvardiol and Kovacic
2. Keep Phillips and Gomes
3. Bring in McAtee and Bobb
4. Loan out Perrone and Palmer (unless Mahrez and Bernardo go and we can't get someone else in)

Obviously this is just the insanity we go through every summer speaking but I just wanted to lay it out to see. There isn't really such a thing as a first and second 11 but just for the sake of simplicity if there was then we'd have 2 decent sides if Mahrez and Bernardo stay. If they go then our first team untouched but our 2nd team is quite weaker...Doh!

(I put KDB in the sescond team only because he'll be missing at the start of the season)

(Also I have Phillips staying because I actually think the squad allows it for when we have games left, right and center. But then again I'm a nutcase so would be keeping Laporte too.)

(Also by not mentioning any other big signing I'm hoping that FATE can't resist the opportunity of making me look stupid (as usual) when tomorrow we sign someone out of this world. Go on FATE you asshole! I know you want to! Dick!)

I don’t see Phillips staying if Rice joins, and if we have made a formal bid for Rice then Phillips must have agreed to leave.

Get in. Best ITK outside of @tolmie's hairdoo

And they get Phillips at a discount

 

[Mad 4 It]

Loving this can we now get FDJ as well just to boil even more piss

 

[wolviedinho]

Any truth in this @tolmie's hairdoo ?

Surprised we have actually made a move.

 

[citytill1die84]

Pretty much same offer as Arsenal but I'd guess we have more chance of hitting the add on targets.

It'll get rejected but not a bad 1st offer.

 

[walker_is_faster]

This bid for Rice means that both Kovacic and Gvardiol are done deals and we are moving fast to get Rice deal done.

 

[cookster]

Fee either way is possibly better for accounting?

We probably offered to pay in less installments too.

Was just about to call it a night haha…

There is something I hadn't considered..

Foreign players (max 17)

1. Ederson
2. Ortega
3. Dias
4. Laporte
5. Bernardo
6. Ake
7. KDB
8. Mahrez
9. Haaland
10. Rodri
11. Alvarez
12. Akanji
13. Gomez
14. Perrone
15. Kovacic

16. Bobb?
17. Gvardiol ??
18* Cancelo (obviously not going to be on the roster)

We're dancing pretty close to the max line for us to be able to sign FDJ as well @tolmie's hairdoo .

And I'm not sure if Bobb qualifies as home grown or foreign?

 

[TrentGrisham]

Honestly, I want him to join to spite Arsenal fans more than anything.

 

[wolviedinho]

Could see us doing the Phillips deal separate. West Ham won’t want to be twats on the rice fee. Give us £40m for Kavlin and we hand over 90m for Declan.

£50m Txiki special -:)

I think Bobb and Ake qualify as HG, plus Perrone is probably being loaned out.

Only if Phillips leaves

Ake is considered homegrown since he came through chelsea's academy, bobb qualifies as he is from city's academy
