Maybe they don't want to sell on those terms - he is a westham player after all. I imagine you would similarly tell them to fuck off if they fancied taking Odegard off you and paying in instalments like an hp TV from Argos.As an Arsenal fan, thats it for me. If West Ham reject this bid its time to walk away. Its more than fair, infact is a steep overpayment. As for payment terms, one of the reasons payments are spread out is liquidity issues in football. Money comes in, money goes out. People think football clubs are swimming in cash, but the truth is money goes out just as fast as it comes in. I dont know why West Ham think they shouldn't be beholden to payment over terms.

Tarquins probably asked if they could pay through KlanaMaybe they don't want to sell on those terms - he is a westham player after all. I imagine you would similarly tell them to fuck off if they fancied taking Odegard off you and paying in instalments like an hp TV from Argos.
Not humbled enough it seems.
A hundred pounds next year is worth less than a hundred pounds right now. That's another reason to defer payments.As an Arsenal fan, thats it for me.

Shake hands If Rice wants City that is?
Everything is relative- why do we care what he costs? As a punter and City fan, I want to be entertained and win. I pay for that privilege. It’s not for me to worry about the cost of putting on that show. The club are responsible for the finances and I couldn’t care less how it’s done. I’m not sure why others get in a lather about it. City can clearly afford it, they’ve earned it by being shrewd and successful so dont worry about it.100M+ for Rice is truly ridiculous. Whether Pep wants him or not
This probably is it. To Rice and to other players City are looking at, it shows City aren't in it for a laugh and will make the best possible effort up to a redline.100m in one go got grealish
100m in one go could get rice
Ridiculous money but is what it is
I thought city’s was £85 + £15m on add ons
Well, you are a better man then. As for me, 100M+ for RICE bothers me, Declan is not a 100M+ player no matter how relative you look at it, whether we buy him with at that Price or not. Even if CITY can afford it, even if its not my money, it still bothers me. Such amounts for average and just above average players are what skews the market.Everything is relative- why do we care what he costs? As a punter and City fan, I want to be entertained and win.
