If it included a couple of players circa £40m, then yeah, we could fly a kite and see how far it soared.
But we all know the hypocrisy would be nowhere to be found should a United, Bayern or Madrid attempt to do a deal at the same numbers.
We are already seeing it now with the narrative about Moyes. He's gone from a steady eddie to the second coming in the space of a month.
No mention of his lack of European experience, results against the top-four in general, never winning a pot.
Levy would absolutely love to do business with us, you can be certain of that.
I am also aware, if nothing else, some encouragement, that Bale does not see City as a club he would never entertain.
His family were aware of interest from us last summer and he was quite receptive to the idea, however, he managed to leverage a better deal out of Spurs.
He can also name his price this summer in terms of wages, and Spurs are allegedly prepared to go as high as £170k a week.
Personally, that seems a little rich for their blood, especially when you consider the trouble they had trying to get anywhere near Adebayor wages.
Have we expressed an interest this summer though TH?
Spuds are literally paranoid about us and Bale.
But this goes back a few months. Don't believe any wheels have turned in Bale's direction since.
Bale has his pick and will decide when he wants to leave.
Bales pick being Real Madrid I assume?
