Not necessarily. People will be along soon to discredit the source.

It also kind of means that everybody at Brighton has a price and that if it’s met they go.

It doesn’t mean we have met that price for Cucuerlla.

The article based on the interview. He said nothing about price but players wanting to join big club

Interesting comments from Weir.

If City increase the bid to £45m with add ons this will get done imo.

 

[MeeBeeGeeBee]

Is the £40m-with-add-ons bid true?

I think that should be enough. Something that ends up in the £44m-£48m range.

If the sources says it was me, I deffo not ITK

I’d be slightly pissed if I was a Brighton reading that! Lol

why would you be drunk?

I still don't get why we only offer £40million plus add-ons when Brighton have publicly said its £50million bottom line

OK, Brighton may have over egged the price at £50million but how much is the room with our offer of £40million with add-ons, £10million of add-ons is far too much even if we win Champions League and titles over 5 years works out to £2million a year

just go and wave the cash at £45million take it over leave it and i bet they take it

Because £40m plus add one looks better on the books for FFP than £45m-£50m right off the bat. Player bonuses don’t count towards FFP, you could assume a similar thing exists with payment bonuses?

Brighton have never said it’s £50m at any point in this deal mate.

The media are saying £50m, sure - but you won’t find anything from either Brighton or Bloom mentioning any figure at any point.

Doesn’t sound right to me

Not to mention that folding to Brighton’s demands makes it harder in the future to pay what we want.

Nah…..it’s nothing new. We already know.
