I reckon 90 mil plus 10 in achievable addons does it. With the majority of the fee up front.
We should have just done that anyway??

90 mil and Cole Palmer with a buy back I reckon.
i dont think stoned will be playing in midfield. Rice is exactly what pep wanted from stoned in midfield.I don't think rice is a £100 million player in general tbh but I especially don't think he is a £100 million player to us in that I don't think he's going to be pivotal to our side. Also a bit skeptical of how creative we will be if we've got rodri, rice and stones in midfield ahead of a back 3 and no fullbacks. that puts a hefty amount of pressure on kdb or whoever is the other most advanced midfielder to be the main creator.
He does have all the base ingredients for a top player and is young enough for pep to mould him into that and I would really really love to see the arsenal fans reaction if we gazump them and prevent them from strengthening significantly, that alone is worth the asking price in my eyes. If we sign him, great, trust the plan pep and txiki have in place, if we don't though it's not something i think we will rue.
