Just walk away City.

He does make a point though, 30m is too low, but 40m imo is fair

We don't necessarily have to think he's better than Zinchenko, although we clearly do, we could just have given our blessing somewhat begrudgingly to Zinchenko to leave.

Why, what have you heard?

Can see he’s maybe not worth 50 to you, but he probably is to us - pretty much irreplaceable at the moment at our level (as shown by the donkeys we keep getting linked with as ‘replacements’). Add the fact we don’t need to sell and looking less likely a deal will get done IMO - only unknown factor if the extent to which he’s pushing for it (and none of us have much of a clue on that)

If he wasn't pushing it City wouldn't be in for him. Clubs like City don't just fire bids off into the ether.

That is the first thing that City establish before starting any discussions: get a full deal done in principal with the player.

These Brighton fans remind me of Ipswich fans back in Joe Royle times. Desperate for attention and some sort of rivalry with a big club. Must have crushed them to know we, and most everybody else, really didn't care.

I don't know what you're on about pal. I was there when we won the league at Brighton, and they couldn't have been more hospitable for us on the day. It would have been very easy for them to have been hostile and bitter as we were all taking the piss a bit, but they were calm and friendly all day long. I'll always have a soft spot from Brighton for that great day.

They have a player they value highly under contract, we have no right to get this player. If we want to buy him we'll have to pay what Brighton are prepared to sell him for. Let's not act like spoilt brats - like United fans. If we can't do a deal, it is what it is and we need to get over it and move on. Like we did with Kane last summer.

Just because we are rich and successful doesn't mean we can bully other teams into selling their best players. Let's act with class and dignity. Let's not act like Barca/Real/United/Munich. Indeed I think the club act with said dignity when it comes to transfers, but certain elements of the fanbase at times let us all down.

Well said, some of the comments on here are embarrassing, we are now in danger of sounding and acting like the fans of the Scum and Dippers that we despise. We have been spoilt that we have not had to sell unless we wanted to for such a long time now, I think some fans have forgotten or even aren't old enough to remember who tough it is on a team's fans when a better team comes in for your best player, lets try and be more humble!

That’s the Athletic for you. I subscribed when they first came on the scene and they employed so very good journos. But there are far too many fanzine style writers for me. No better than the main stream shite we read.
