No shit there, what an exclusive that is. Must follow on twitter

His source knew we were withdrawing before we announced we were joining? Astonishing !!!!

Oh yeah! good spot.

How could he have known about our withdrawal from ESL 48 hours before we did?! We hadnt joined by then

edit: same points as above. Twitter in not being wholly truthful shock

We don’t “have to pay” if the prices are to high.
That’s how we ended up with Dias.
I think Grealish isn’t far off, he’s probably worth £70m-£80m, so to get them to sell £100m I can see it, I think he’d be i good fit even though I’m not a fan.
Kane I think is £80m, so I get the £100m bid.
Though I’m of the belief he’ll cost £130m+, probably nearer to Levy’s £150m valuation.
At which point he doesn’t seem to be good value for money and not a good fit.
All just in my humble opinion.

How can you not be a fan of Grealish after what he’s done at Villa?

I’m surprised that we’re linked with Grealish. He’s extremely talented but a bit individualistic as he slows the game down by holding onto the ball. He reminds me a bit of Nasri and it doesn’t seem very Pep.

“Money is no issue”
Great negotiating tactic that.
No wonder we’re getting quoted £100m for Grealish and £150m for Kane.

For a negotiating team that has nda around its processes it is certainly strange to hear anything during any talks let alone limitless cash.

Our objectives may be partially known to certain ITKs but surely not our tactics.

If only they had told City beforehand, we'd never had joined in the first place.

Edit: that's one of them temporal anomalies isn't it?

I think that's what we actually need in the final 3rd, the unpredictability and bit of a maverick if you like.

The persistent play acting, playing up to the camera and off the field antics perhaps. Good player though.
