Not sure why they don’t stick Phillips in there

Very difficult for players to go the other way in transfers if it’s full sale either way. You don’t really see that many transfers like that, probably affect Accounting

All about instalments at this stage we could give them 80 within 2 years I’m sure arsenal were paying it in 4. Plus our add ons could be much more achievable than theirs but they are coming in with a new bid very soon.

Even if they offer little bit more but not good insalments and our is over 2 years, our offer is still better.

Why not bid £90mill and £10mill add ons? Boom! Done and dusted. Unless City know the first bid will be rejected and that will be the 2nd bid?

No swaps just pay West Ham the money. Move Phillips on in a seperate deal. Still could have given Phillips a better crack in getting back into contention.

Bit weird this one. We know that we wanted Bellingham but also know we never bid for him. So imo City must have had encouragement from the Rice camp. No way we bid if he’s made it clear he wants to only go to Arsenal.

I`ve just made the same sort of comment Matt. Perhaps Peps phone call made him realise theres only one club that would/could enhance his capabilities. ;)

It's the reversal of the Bellingham saga though we didn't get to the stage of putting a bid in.
Over to Arsenal for a response.
Could all be off again in the morning.

How do you know we haven’t? It only says a bid ‘worth’ 80m + 10m in add ons. Perhaps Phillips is included?

Gotta say I live for these moments during the summer. Even if arsenal nab him what a rush for an hour lol.
