Getting tired of this transfer.

City must surely realise now Liverpool won't take anything less than 50m.

Just pay it and move on.

I'm pretty sure we've had this tied up for a week or so now Sam. I'm as impatient as anyone but if it's in the bag then we'll be happy to allow Liverpool to pull their PR stunt, let Firmino take the headlines for a few days and then sell Sterling and sing about how much money they've made.

I think both Sterling and De Bruyne will be there or there abouts. As a club we rarely provide the press with any information about our transfer dealings and only seem to pipe up if we are walking away from a player because we deem their fee to high. So far we haven't done that.

I'd also say that though we're happy to spend big this summer, it will not be a limitless pot. We'll possibly be looking at what we can get fees to on De Bruyne and Pogba before we offer anything for Sterling. Even if it's a few million we can offset, that might help us with FFP - should restrictions tighten.
 
It seems to me Dippers had sold Sterling to us for an agreed fee before they got Firminio otherwise wouid be in a weak bargaining position. The drama of the deal is for the press and the dipper fans. Have to wait unfortunately.

Yes but how do you know it takes a week for a bid?

We can only speculate by what the media says...which is mostly complete shite

That's true. I can only hope it doesn't take a week as it seems bizarre that we would look to drag this out.

'Whats that Liverpool. You wont sell him for less than £50 million, same as what you said in May.

Well we have offered you £35 + 5 so how about an extra............

Contract stuff around football transfer deals are notoriously convoluted and often take ages, there is so much to them. People forget how long the Tevez saga went on and the Nasri deal for that matter and there are others.

In the summer of the Nasri deal, we atleas were very quick to finalise the Clichy and Aguero deals, this summer it looks like all our targets is going to be part of long transfer saga.
 
This flapathon goes on every single summer and you all know it. We have until the 1st September to work out these deals and that's just the way it is. Hopefully we'll have new players by pre-season but when it comes right down to it, there are still three months left of this window and these are complicated things involving greedy, cut throat agents and grasping clubs trying to screw every last penny out of the buying club. Especially when it's City. And the Chelsea story is the biggest load of bullshit yet. It is completely pointless for them to talk about paying £40 mill and no more because City have already offered that and if we bid again, it will be higher.

Stuff and fucking nonsense. Same thing with Firmino last week. Talk Shite had him in Stretford on a done raggy deal.

The goddamn greed of it all, though.

As for the Chav link, someone at Dipperpool (or Sterling's agent) may well be trying to drive the price up. We should call their, bluff if this is true.

I couldn't care less if the deals drag on, as long as we have all our targets in a City shirt come August 8th.
