I think the media are guessing Again that we will put another bid in personally I'd wait another week and bid 37.5m raising to 42.5m

Do you think it's just coincidence that two newspapers published the same story at exactly the same time? Almost like they were under an embargo to not publish before 11pm?

Same when all the stories were the same in every national paper last night, all published at the same time. This stuff is getting leaked mate, without any doubt.

A touch of Kevin Keegan in you!

That was a long time ago when I was a ball boy. I don't wish to talk about it.

Jimmy Tarbuck now saying Sterling was 'possibly' one of the boys that ransacked his Formby home in 1974.

I'd just fucking love it if they had to ring us to accept an offer they previously rejected.

it would can't see it though, let them sweat another week then increased it by 2.5m will they have the bottle to say no thanks?

No we need to get players on board now and get silva linking up with him in pre season ready. The earlier we get these players in we will see the rewards at the start of the season.

what like every other day last week where we apparently were putting in a final final final bid?

Will QPR get a percentage of the add-on's too?

Nah, a couple of hacks discussing it between themselves, then deciding to do a little story on it. They feed off each other when not bottom feeding.

20% I think it is

 

[moomba]

They have a history of "rejecting" final bids, think they will reject this one also.

Examples?

Do you think he'll be a City player by the end of next week?

 

[FanchesterCity]

Logically they must accept all final bids (for players they sell)?

 

[johnmc]

There will be a watershed after which no other paper will be able to use it in their paper the next day. Then the tweets come out. These two papers obviously have the same source but believed that they had an exclusive off the source. Whether the source is accurate is yet to be seen.

I see what you did there. Smart!

Fair play mate, we're all guessing at this point. My guess would be we'll see movement tomorrow afternoon. The morning will see all the Professional Scousers rolled out on SSN and TalkSport, saying how badly advised he is, that Liverpool will be well shut of him, that they have class and City have got too much money.

Then mid afternoon I'd expect the SSN yellow ticker to go yellow with news Liverpool have accepted a record fee for a British player. Just my opinion of course.

depends how much bottle Liverpool have.. if we do bid again I reckon Liverpool will turn it down thinking we will come back again with an improve offer, thing is when a club puts another bid in do they honesty say that's it we not bidding anyone?

Agree with this. And like others have already said, I think this final offer has already been agreed by both clubs and the deal will be sorted.......at long, long last!

I think we're reaching the end game. I'm not definite, but don't Liverpool fly out to Aus over the weekend? Sterling is saying he's not going. They can't fly out there with this hanging over their head. If it is this weekend they fly out, I'd expect big news tomorrow.
