Your player wants to leave you for City. It's the cold hard fact of the matter no matter how much you don't want to accept it.
If you stop him after a reasonable £40m - £43m plus add-ons bid has gone in, you'll have trouble on your hands.
There's no guarantees for Cucu that a bid like this will ever be made for him again. What happens if he's bang average this coming season?
God forbid, but what happens if he gets a bad injury?
If he has another good season, another major club will also bid for him & you'll be on someone else's forum trying to fend off their interest next summer.
If my Mrs wanted to leave me for someone else, I wouldn't lower myself begging her to stay, & City have the same attitude with our players. It's not a good look fella... \0/
City want Cucu. Cucu wants City. Why've you got a problem with that? Is it merely the money offered? If so, tell Bloom to stay at the negotiating table & hammer out a deal we can all swallow & then move on to players who actually want to be at The Amex Stadium.
You're better than the desperation you're showing...
