Wow, summed up in one post how far some Man City fans have been removed from reality. £30,000,000 is now the definition of close? In what world is £30m close to anything?
In the world where people know GCSE Maths. Either you can look at it that City are 80% of the way to the fee or that City need a 25% increase on their fee. But that's close. People move in negotiations. The real numbers are probably that City are about 90% of the way to the fee and need a 15% increase on the fee.
