Interesting comments from Bloom. Encouraging for us, not so much for the Brighton fans who were Villa-like in being adamant Bloom would be a ballache to deal with.

It’s simple - lodge a bid and he’ll move. None of this shite that he prefers to live at the seaside. He has all his life after football to be on the beach, while he’s playing I bet he’d rather be challenging for things.

Bloom knows that and won’t ruin his business model and getting players in the future by making it a nightmare for a player to move onto something new at the first chance he gets.
Thats not correct, Bloom will sale if the price is right. BHAFC fans understand that.. its up to you to nake Bloom the offer hecant turn down. Oh and yes Bloom is willing to let players rot in the reserves, he done it with Dale Stephens and Dunk.
 
I think it’s pretty timely Bloom coming out with this comment now, shortly after them turning down a bid.

Brighton still haven’t sold their season ticket allocation (which are now on open sale), so they can’t be seen to be selling off their best players, especially given that Bissouma was sold way below market value, and so far they have only brought in a couple of kids.
Waiting list for season tickets, they have sold out. But you have not bid, how can you turn somthing down when that somthing is not there.
 
i think the bid will be £45 to £50 million plus add on. Cant see us accepting player from you on loan. That just MHO.
 
Or that you have not paid over the odds.

city now state through the media how much the prices are to avoid that very accusation? When we signed Haaland it was going to be allegedly £64m release clause where it was actually £51.1m with agents fees taking it to £85m? Every media outlet had the Kalvin Phillips deal all the same as well? £42m up to £45m with add ons? No hiding either way then mate. The days are gone when city are quoted as overpaying, ruining football etc and not standing up for themselves.
 
Formal and informal bids are not the same thing.

Buying clubs test the willingness of the selling club to sell.

So let’s take the @mattyb info to start with. City might ring Bloom up and say how about cash and a player? Bloom says we just want cash.

City have then done exactly what Mattyb has said but Bloom does not consider it a formal bid as he is waiting for a cash only offer and says they haven’t received anything.

Nobody is lying.
 
Couldn’t disagree more. With ake seemingly off as well this position has become a necessity. Last season playing stones at rb cost us a place in the champions league final.

We need another full back we cannot go into next season with Walker, cancelo and zinchenko as the full back options it’s proven that it isn’t enough depth.
If Ake goes it does change the landscape slightly, depending on which CB we sign as his replacement, although how many times did Ake play left back last season?

As I said I hope we do sign a LB, as I do think we need one, I'm just not convinced City see it as a must signing with what we currently have.
 
I fucking love the fact that Brighton fans are conducting Brightons transfer negotiations in a City forum. Maybe they should stick to doing what they do best, booing an over achieving team and manager. Funny though, I’ve got no inclination to go into a small Brighton forum and conduct transfer negotiations, or indeed go in there full stop.

thats how city have worked for years though isnt it? They get to the point where its all agreed by having a chat and then bid so the optics are its come from nowhere but the reality is its been ongoing for weeks etc?
