It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[DeBlueLou]

An improved bid going in later today on Cucurella.

I believe closer to £40m with add ons.

I remain positive.

Probably get rejected but still things are happening a bit.

Of course it could matter, £5m or so could be the difference in this deal. They could reject the £40m and accept £40m plus £5m add ons...

Not very hard to understand is it?

How does it change your day either way? £40m including add ons or £40m not including add ons. Whatever. Ffs get a life. If I was TH I’d actually stop posting in here. The fucking mithering he gets after each post is ridiculous. Just read what he’s put and get on with your day.

Assuming Tolms info is correct then still seems we are miles away from Brighton’s asking price. Expect that to be rejected

What is BHA actual asking price, I've seen loads of rumours & speculation but no actual facts

 

[Wardley Blue]

Why does it take so long to come back with another bid?. Surely if 30m is rejected, can't we come back straight away with 40m plus add ons, then if that is rejected, 45m plus add ons etc etc. Could be done in minutes, unless it all boils down to the classic phrase of 'preparing a bid' pmsl

I think it is best to leave it to the people who know what they are doing. They seem to have done all right so far. Have faith!

Don't let the mardarse Brighton fan on here know that or he'll be chucking himself off the pier.

The another Brighton fan will be doing an impression of Eddie in Early doors

I'm bloody insulted

The speculation is 'starting at over £50m'.

Could be 55m, could be 65m, who knows. That's even assuming the speculation has something to it, could be 40m for all anyone knows.

50+m with nobody knowing what the + is supposed to involve: 1m, 3m, 5m...

Closer to 40m including add ons won't do.

Because we want the transfer to happen, we tend to dismiss the noises coming from Brighton as mere, inconsequential postering. That's a mistake, imo. My guess is that a deal won't be done unless we offer 45m + add ons. And it's not clear whether we'll go that high.

Can you tell him we are signing Frenkie De Jong too? ;)

So its FDJ, FDJ's outstanding wages and 150 mil for Bernie or something similar since Barca love Bernie and want to show everyone how big they are?

Like I say no one knows so how we be miles away from Brighton asking price

Delooney said Phillips would be £60m & we paid £42m
Most people were adamant that Haalands release clause £75m & we paid £51m.
Brighton could reject our new offer in the hope of more but thats not the same as Bloom coming out & saying he wants 50m.

Something like this?

City - £30m?
Brighton - no
City - ok, £40m then?
Brighton - no
City - fine, £45m or I swear I’m hanging up on you and you’ll never hear from me again…………
Brighton - ………you’re still there, aren’t you?
City - ok, £50m then?

Mate - with respect - if you honestly believe high stakes, complex, multi-million pound negotiations are as simple as buying a barbecue off eBay, then I’d suggest you probably avoid offering the Club your advice on how to close a deal.

They’re not doing too badly on their own this summer.
