I think city will walk away. The tone of that tweet from ornstein won’t go down well with city (clearly come straight from West Ham) and I doubt we will get involved in a bidding war.

I think you read far too much into everything mate. PR disasters and city walking away with hurt feelings etc. This is top level football and boardroom business, not asking a girl out down the pub in front of her mates.

City don't give a fuck about PR, 95% of the footballers in the world would come to us in a heartbeat and we always get who we want if it represents value. If it doesn't we move on to more options (Maguire, Sanchez etc)

As for walking away because of a tweet from ornstein, come on...

west ham will wait till after 30th to hope Chelsea also join in post FFP clear out.

Just can't see why we would be this publicly in for him if he hadn't given us the nod. West Ham surely aren't selling him to the highest bidder, they'll get their £100m one way or another, and then they'll have enough respect to let him go to whoever they wants?

Meltdown on Arsenal Mania. This is fun, this. Even if we don't get him.

I find it funny that the bid is classed on their end as "unimpressive". You think we offered them a tenner and a snickers :)

It's directed to Arsenal, not City: "Your 3rd bid should be clearly better than City's 1st if you are to stand a chance."

good luck to them with Tony Bloom now.

Fab seems to think 100 would do it.

So Arsenal to bid £80m plus £1 + £10m add ons
Didn’t they add a £1 on to a bid some time ago?

Pep wants him we get him. I also think West ham are looking at the fee Grealish went for and want that.

 

[Blue warrior]

£85m + £15m of acheivable add ons and lets get this done

Not convinced Sullivan will go for that.

Piss boiling. 2, £100mill players. Both English Internationals.

sorry, couldn't resist.
