Good on us too. A few posts back someone said about why are haggling over this when we blew all that dough on RSC. Whilst I know what the poster meant, that is exactly why we aren't being held to ransom anymore, and for future credibility in the market I think its a good thing. At the end of the day Balotelli has made his bed at Inter, there is no way he can play for them again, therefore if its 'just' a few million we're haggling over, my guess is that Inter will be the ones who have to buckle, and we won't be seen as mugs who pay massive fees willy nilly. My respect for Mancini and the whole management set up, (bar fucking mr potato head), grows on a daily basis, it feels well and truly professional right now, something i've never noticed before anyway.oakiecokie said:MEN suggest that the official package for Balos salary etc has been finalised,but its City still haggling ref the actual Transfer Fee with Milan !!

What are you basing that on?
Purely the time scale... Makes me think somethings not going smoothlySalfordCityBlue said:mansour's tow ropes said:Personally i cant see this deal going through

Its not like buying a bag of chips mate, or for a more realistic comparison, buying Johnson from Middlesbrough. We're talking about a club of Inter's stature, who are selling their most prized asset. They will want a replacement in line, so they may be doing that in the background so's not to sell themselves short. Players like that have image rights, which wrangling over them takes time. This is bigger than the Robinho deal in my eyes, much bigger. Its a complexed, massive and time consuming deal which I am 100% certain will be wrapped up and confirmed by the Spuds game. Itss the kind of deal that Cook and Khaldoon will be toasting too if it ccomes off, purely because of what it means for the club and for the hard graft which is on going.mansour's tow ropes said:Purely the time scale...

The insecure on here like to make out Chelsea are skinters, I don't think they are though. If one club could step in and snatch him, its is Chelsea. The twats would probably think it was some kind of revenge for the way we snatched Robinho from them, the fucks.clubfoot said:The longer this goes on the more likely that someone else will come in for him. With him being in London over the next few days who's to say Chelsea won't send in their mob to try and snap him up.
I only said it's only a few million we are haggling over because this kid is a superstar in the making.
