Certainly not singling you out intentionally if that's what you mean? I just pop onto this thread and read a few posts now and again. I read yours as you are a regular poster who I respect and just thought i would respond as I have a different opinion that's all. Happy to move on, until we differ or agree on another subject ;-)You're perfectly entitled to your opinion. No issue with that at all. What I have an issue with is that you seem to be singling me out for my assumptions/calls, while plenty of other posters are also indulging in "2+2=5" comments. If you want to criticise me, fine. You won't be the first, or the last. But be consistent, that's all I'm asking. Is that unreasonable? This is my last word on the subject, as I want to avoid derailing the thread with this discussion.
We don’t know we haven’t , all we know is Brighton want £50 mill plus. I suspect though we’ve made our final offer and unless something changes in the next day or so we will move on.I hope Cucurella is continuing to push for a City move. Then it wouldn’t matter what Chelsea offers. Just up the bid to £45m and be done already.
It would appear that Bloom is dead set on getting 50m, if you believe what you read. That's the perception that's out there, at any rate.I hope Cucurella is continuing to push for a City move. Then it wouldn’t matter what Chelsea offers. Just up the bid to £45m and be done already.
You dont truly know how stubborn someone will be until you give them time to be stubborn.
Anyone who thinks we “knew the price from ths start” have never negotiated anything in their life.
Theres always a starting price. Some people soften, some people dont but you dont know from the start who has the balls to turn down £40m!
Aueroooo...are you Jack or his agent because I reckon you've said the same thing re Jack about 30 times on this thread? To get the best out of Grealish you should stump up for Cucu but I fear it may be too late. Apparently Barca have had another cash injection today or by end of week, they may take Cucu instead of Alonso as better long term option. I dont doubt that your club dont want to pay what they think are over the odds for him but as an outsider I seriously think he is the missing piece of your jigsaw. Does Pep have no sway over what he wants, serious question as it just seems weird what has happened re Zinchenko and us southern folk seem amazed you sell him for 32 yet lowballed us?
Where is it said we have left the dealI really feel like I’m reading the Koulibaly thread from the summer of 2020. I am glad we left the deal now and it’s obviously that there are plenty of deals we could do before the end of the window, let’s be relaxed like the club is and wait for the next target to be revealedz
I read we paid 3m less than Alvarez release clause to facilitate him staying longer?Alvarez Did. Oretaga technically did, as he didnt need a fee agreed.
Don't agree with the statement as such, as it is easier to complete release clause transfers, one less item to have to agree.
It would be interesting to know how much say Pep has over buys. I would guess he has the final say ? Hes the best in the world imo so would Txiki dare to say your having this player over another?Pep doesn’t set the budget, same as Txiki doesn’t. Though I’m sure if Pep wanted it enough he’d push for it to happen. He‘s probably happy as long as he gets a left back.
Where we’ve said: £40m is our best offer, we will look elsewhere if we can’t agree a deal.Where is it said we have left the deal
