More than you can believe

Not only that but despite them turning us down for 88m, "negotiations are progressing well". Big smile on Txikis face as he prepares his next bid of 100m tomorrow.

If he doesn't end up at a competitor this year, he will end up at a competitor next year instead. He wants PL football.

He joined today mate. He put it in the It's Quiet thread.

Don't know if people have seen, but Tolmie has replied to someone on Twitter saying Gvardiol still expects the deal to go through, maybe next week.

Think there was one article suggesting Leipzig would not let Gvardiol and Szoboszlai leave in the same window and with Liverpool suddenly so close to the latter, some are flapping.

That was for the left back position though which we've seen Pep experiment in a lot. I don't think the club will fuck around when it comes to midfield its so important to get right. We haven't really heard any alternative names come out of this which is unusual. I think we'll bid again.

There were stories a few weeks ago that Newcastle wanted Phillips but were turned down as he wanted to stay at City. Can't see him suddenly fancying moving to West Ham instead to help us land Rice.

Can we really see Harry Kane living in Germany, its hard enough for English people to understand him.

He's come this far into his 6 year contract, he may as well ride it out and have his pick of any English side on a free next year. Maybe a reunion with Poch at Chelsea.

Two years of Pep is far more enticing than 10 years of Arteta. He'll win more in those two years too.

City would have distanced themselves from him if we weren't looking to do a deal or if Rice had his sights firmly on Arsenal like they always do with false rumours. We must be fairly confident we can still get him.

Rice has 200 premier league appearances. If we do lose Gundogan and Bernardo then that's a lot of experience walking out the door so would make sense to go with someone with a lot of prem experience as opposed to not. Especially playing in such an important position.

Trying to think if we've done this before on a high profile signing, where another club is nailed on for them and we jump in last minute and snatch them? I know it's happened the other way round enough times!

2 of those were coming from Napoli with the owner one of the worst in the world to try and negotiate with. Leipzig are very much a selling club.

If Real do buy him then PSG will no doubt take someone like Osimhen as replacement which would stop any of our rivals getting him at least.

Cheers, enjoyed that. Just wish it was an hour long. Love these type of interviews with Pep.

30-40m for Laporte too. With the emergence of Rico Lewis we can lose Cancelo and Laporte and replace with Gvardiol so the high fee for Gvardiol becomes redundant.

Assuming it will be similar to Alvarez where we give him a pay rise and 1 extra year to his contract? If it is indeed an extension you're talking about. Clause where he gets sold for £1 to Real Madrid if Pep leaves/ we are found guilty by the Premier League of course ;)
