Aston Villa Ladies I’m sure I heard.

Is that a real job?

Then you’re an idiot.

Well why would you bid 90m if you can't buy before you can sell? Surely you wouldn't bid at all, until you've let go of a few players?

None of it makes any sense. Why make an opening bid of 90m, then pull out without ever making a 2nd bid? If they knew the price to begin with, why bid way below west ham's original price (to what west ham wanted). I genuinely don't think we were interested in the player, and just drove the price up for Arsenal. Smart, if so.

If you think West Ham would only have accepted their valuation, then City didn't drive anything up for Arsenal. Arsenal would have had to increase their offer anyway. If you think West Ham may have accepted less, then it makes sense you bid what you think the player is worth to you and no more. It's one or the other.

On such a large amount of money and interest rates being what they are, the structure of payment comes into play
A 90m offer made in two payments could actually be worth more than 100m made in five

Just seen the Jimmy Bullard is bookies favourite to take over from Laura Woods, they really are dredging the slurry pit for talent.

Not when taking the level of the programme itself into account .
