Not convinced Sullivan will go for that.

Why mate? It`s stated he wants £100m fee?

I think he wants more £90 + 10 he’s creating a bidding war mate .

 

[DeBlueLou]

bid rejected. They want 100m over a shorter period.

Arsenal will bid again today. Gonna be interesting how they structure it. Could be a pivotal day.

For all we know they may want more than that.

Possibly mate but we also will no doubt be able to pay it in bigger chunks and our add ons are more likely?

People are too fixated on the final numbers, but the structure is important too.

Say, 90m up front is a much better deal for Wham than 110m overall but with just 50m up front. Both City and Arsenal are ready to go to 100m, but we can offer a much better structure and more realistic add-ons.

Yes good point maté getting greedy.

 

[KPXBLN]

So Arsenal to bid £80m plus £1 + £10m add ons
Didn’t they add a £1 on to a bid some time ago?

Supposedly yeh. It was for Suarez, when they were under the impression he had a release clause at Liverpool and they thought they could trigger it with the additional quid.

I posted last night something felt a little strange with this transfer.

Kind of left the offer as a your move Arsenal that then gets into bidding war territory something we don’t normally enter.

With Gerrard taking him to one side and saying "I know you won't be at Liverpool forever, but don't go to Arsenal, they're a joke". Worked out for him.

If we do this I’ll eat rice with every meal every day for a month.

I knew I wasn’t dreaming it

Maybe City are toying with Arsenal? Maybe its us wanting the optics that we are the big boys now?

 

[RobinHood]

The bid has been rejected.

Good shout, considering the time of your post.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

think we go again mate?

Yes I’d imagine so, I think City likely knew this was getting rejected. Watch what Arsenal do, City then offer better terms and hopefully get it done.

So many high level football transfer negotiators on here.

The forum is in safe hands.

If we had a thread on open heart surgery this place would be awash with experts

 

[Phoenix900000]

However gets him I imagine it will be for silly money

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

I'm not particularly bothered about him.

However, if I look at how much he would strengthen that Arsenal midfield... I'd be happy for us to stop them improving by buying him.

More of a tactical transfer than anything.

I'm out on that, can't be trusted with a crayon, never mind a scalpel:)
