Because I’m not fucking insane. Think about what she said mate. Read it back and ask yourself in what world pep tells us to make a bid just so Arsenal can get the deal over the line. My head hurts just typing that out! Haha!

Mate, there were people on here up to 10 hours ago claiming he was spotted in a local hospital having his medical, & some were even willing to bet a kidney on it! Lol :-)

I'm not saying she got it absolutely spot on, & none of us outside of City's transfer board will truly know what our true intentions were, but the end result was Arse panicked & coughed up £35m more than their initial bid, & with the mission complete, we stepped away & got on with our intended business, leaving Arse massively overpaying.

Eni was more on the money than many of us gave her credit for... :-)

It’s moronic. Like we have fuck all else to do.
Besides, Pep probably thinks arteta is a bit of a ****.

You think? I think it's the familiar pattern of - put a bid in, and if the player wants to move to City it happens.

If he allows a bidding war then he's not 100% committed to moving to City.

Like sancho, sanchez, Fred, jorginho, Ronaldo etc. I think we weed out the mercenaries from the 100% committed.

I don't entirely agree with this. The player is best served not showing any favoritism. Even if he prefers us. It is not in his interest to shit on Arsenal or vice versa because you don't know which team would be enough for your current team to agree.

As a player, so long as the bidding teams are all teams you want to play for, there is no value in stepping in. Just sit back and wait.

He is no Messi or Mbappe, he can't demand he wants just 1 team.

I skipped from about page 700 to 900 so not sure just how many crazy theories were put out there, but I’m still not buying that what she said had any truth to it whatsoever. I think we tested the water with what we felt was a very fair offer. It was knocked back and we weren’t willing to go higher. Sometimes things can be straightforward and I believe this instance to be one of those times.
Fact is, if it actually came out that what she said was true then anyone involved should be sacked asap.
