Arsenal trying to pay on silly terms isn’t what I’d define as going balls deep. What use is £100m if you don’t receive it in full for six years? That’s a lifetime in football - the current owner, management team, etc, could all be long gone by then.

It's always been Arsenal, the rest is just noise

Your pretty good with this why we bidding then? Usually we have the players backing if we bid!?

We pulled out of a deal for Cucarella last year after making a bid.

No reason why we won't do it again.

That was for the left back position though which we've seen Pep experiment in a lot. I don't think the club will fuck around when it comes to midfield its so important to get right. We haven't really heard any alternative names come out of this which is unusual. I think we'll bid again.

I believe we will match that tomorrow & then it comes down to the player and what he wants.

Meaning we’ll get him.

I don't. I also hope we don't.

Bet grealish is pleased to finally lose that tag of most expensive english player

115m Bellingham says hi.

I think there's quite a few of us that owe Eni an apology.

Hope you are being sarcastic there lol?

Apparently the add ons are over 5 years which include winning the league and champions league.
Rumour has it West Ham have turned around and said do you want to extend the add ons to over 10 years.

Arsenal went from an opening offer worth £80m to a 2nd offer worth a potential £90m, to a 3rd offer worth a potential £105m, so why wouldn’t City reach the same figure from an opening offer worth £90m? I think we’d have no problem with the fee if Arsenal’s bid gets accepted. We’d match it all day long.

Who was the last player we signed for 15-20m more than what we set out with a first formal bid?
