We are not in any position to dictate a price, that's the point I am making.

They don't want to sell, just like we don't want to sell Bernardo.
I sort of get what you mean mate, Brighton have a price and apparently will not budge so by definition that is the price. We can't dictate the price Brighton sell at, we will however have a limit to what we will pay and a point where we will walk away.
 
People saying just pay the extra it's only an extra 10m.
What if it was an extra 20m or 30m? Should we just pay that too?

There has to be a cut off point for every player.
City will decide what that point is.
Exactly, multiply that by every transfer deal because you get a reputation for getting taken to the cleaners on fees and before you know it you're Manchester United.
 
Surely when Zinc was sold we MUST have had a guarantee on at least one of our LB choices??
We all know what Pep's said, but he must be slightly alarmed at our current FB options?
This is why i think we have a guarnteed Plan B...whether its one of the ones we have been linked with or someone compeltely out of the blue

I’m hoping…because I don’t think City or Brighton budge and Cucurella is burning his bridges while Bloom makes an example of him.
 
No offence. Not wishing to get into a spat with you.

You don’t need to be an expert to know we need a left back, and we have so far made a very healthy transfer profit.

For the sake of £10mill-£15mill, which in the overall yearly financial picture at the club is nothing, especially if we win the PL title again, and finally win then CL, not to mention good domestic cup runs. Trophy prize money aside. TV money has gone up again. So has CL money. City have signed new sponsorship deals across the board. Season tickets have sold out. Match tickets are selling fast. And the new home shirt has been a huge success.

Just bite the bullet on 1 more signing, pay Bloom what he wants, and we finally have a proper left back, and a complete team and squad ready to dominate PL and European football this season.
I can see both sides of the argument. Stay fiscally responsible & not allow our y-fronts to be drawn down & risk losing the player, or pay what Brighton want & risk other clubs profiteering by adding an even bigger City-Tax than they already do.

I really want Cucurella & wouldn't lose a second's sleep if we paid £50m inc add-ons, but we know we'll be making a rod for our own backs further down the line in future transfer negotiations if we do. It's a toughy... \0/
