I wonder if we can knock them down to 26m and a box of Cornettos?

A box? How about just one?......

I forgot about the FFPR. Still Roma might want Magnums instead.

Great we're negotiating again!! .... Watch someone swipe him for under our noses like Chelsea whilst we are rubbing Roma up the wrong way!!

This is promising. 24m is very reasonable first response from Roma. I was half expecting them to demand Luiz money

Shut up and you do the negotiation if thats so easy stop living on football manager fantasy world.

Haggling is OK as long as it doesn't drag on too long. Chelsea, Bayern and Barca have all been linked with this player so City will want to move quickly.

We've seen what Chelsea are like, they can make transfer swoops out of nowhere and pay whatever it takes.

I'm not actually seeing a problem here ;.)

And there isn't a problem until you drink all the beer and have no food 5 days before you get paid! How many big teams got hidings this year?

Not us and that's all that matters.

Agreed, but Bayern, Barca, Scum etc are all feeling the lack of good defenders plus we need to strengthen there too.

If we have broadly agreed terms with the player and we have been given a realistic price then it will get done. Probably somewhere closer to their figure than our opening offer.

Guess no one knows how much bullshit Sky Italia always throws out then

Di Marzio says Roma won't even *consider* selling him and are ignoring offers. May require the player to force the issue...
