I'm not sure why a lot of the seaside flock are moaning about our opening bid as £30m is definitely a reasonable offer it's just the opener far from disrespectful, doesn't mean that's the fee we expect to sign him for it's just a way of testing the waters and if BHA want £50m anyone offering more than £35m as an opening bid without a release fee are morons, both clubs are bartering right now and if you're seriously offended that we've offered £30m as an opening bid you need to give your head a proper shake.
Most here don't want us to reach £50m offers for him but I couldn't care less as long as he's right for us and Pep's first choice then whatever package gets agreed below £55m is fine by me, but for us to show our hand with an opening bid of £40m would show weakness that we're mugs ready to be taken over a barrel and then possibly lead to greediness on your (or any clubs) end, no team goes all in first time round we've done everything above board no different to how you've signed some of your players from teams in a less privileged position with a nothing opening bid that won't get accepted before your real bid comes out, so whatever we pay we pay and if you get your £50m then fair play spend it well but Ben White isn't a comparison either he's English and homegrown that on it's own massively inflated his fee, maybe you think this bid for Cucurella is a laughable one but the reality of this is we're just laying down a marker publicly so don't get your keks or speedo's in a twist.
When you really think about it without release clauses a club very rarely thinks their very first offer will be accepted we're just making our intentions clear we're interested with bid one... so don't be so irritated by it go for a walk on the beach, have a friendly wave at Chris Eubank if you're lucky to see that famous Brighton based hero you all supposedly love, then relax breathe the air in from the pier and gander at the sea while spying upon horizon from afar knowing full well that you're doing alright as a club.
