We still have to be careful. We all want the deal done but if they have asked for £70m and we just rock up this morning offering it, whats to stop them thinking they can move the goalposts again? I think a 2nd offer in the region of £60m will be rejected and the deal will end up getting done for around £65m.
That dependency doesn't only affect us of course, it affect Arsenal as well. If all we have is £55m, they either take it or leave it. The timing of these deals and secrecy are crucial to getting the player at the right price and whatever fans may say, of course that matters.
That sounds plausible. Everything looks stage-managed to an inevitable conclusion.City don't need to 'bid' again. I'm of the understanding a fee was verbally agreed late last night. Hence the silence from both sides this morning except Arsenal journo's saying that they want a replacement. Appeasing their supporters by giving the impression that they're somehow playing hardball.

If that is true, then Arsenal are really taking the piss out of their supporters. The stuff they fed Ornstein about being skint. Unbelievable.
It became emotional .... lol
A farewell letter to Alexis Sanchez from an Arsenal fan

Yeah you're right, although the counter argument is can they risk us just walkinh away? Their need to sell is now arguably as great as our need to buy? Looking like it will be an interesting day!
Is this the right place for flapping?
I am pretty sure Ornstein didn't invent it.That sounds too stupid to be coming from Arsenal tbf.
Even they wouldn't expect their fans to swallow that one.
It may have been "medical FOR Manchester " but it definitely wasn't "medical in Manchester"According to Swedish Aftonbladet he completed his medical in Manchester yesterday. When they say its their own sources as they do now they are usually spot on and never lie about stuff like this (as English newspaper usually do). But I have no idea how they could have got this information.

How come you're flapping mate? Relax.
He can walk and run. Why does he need a medical. We signed an injured mendy. Gundhogen had a dislocated knee and Santa Cruz turned up for his medical in an ambulance.
I am pretty sure Ornstein didn't invent it.
It sounds genuine, i.e. they genuinely believe it. But it sounds very unlikely.According to Swedish Aftonbladet he completed his medical in Manchester yesterday. When they say its their own sources as they do now they are usually spot on and never lie about stuff like this (as English newspaper usually do). But I have no idea how they could have got this information.

Because he is the darling of the Arsenal fans, and would not like to relay information he knows will be very unpopular. And I also think that a BBC reporter of his standing is professional. Don't sniggerWhy ?
They are certain that it was in Manchester at the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance. And I trust them as they are very reliable with their own sources. Are there proof that he was in Chile yesterday?It may have been "medical FOR Manchester " but it definitely wasn't "medical in Manchester"

Yea totally agree. I do believe them but as they dont lie about stuff as other newspaper does but yea it sounds very unlikely that no other newspaper would have snapped up the information.It sounds genuine, i.e. they genuinely believe it. But it sounds very unlikely.
Yep, my thoughts too.It may have been "medical FOR Manchester " but it definitely wasn't "medical in Manchester"
