I'm having a really hard time not making a dick joke.

Also, how hard did we low-ball them for? The lowest report we saw said 85+10, which surely can't be as insulting as this tweet implies. That being said, I imagine the first bid will always get turned down, so I'm not mad. How long do we have to wait between bids so at to not seem overeager?

Will west ham keep rice if the bids are not upto expectation?

Realistically I don't think they can. He's made it extremely clear that he wants to move to a CL club. They risk getting nothing for him next summer. That being said, there's so much hype around him that if for some ungodly reason, we passed on him, he'd be snapped up quickly.

The number I read was 70m + addons (don't know if it was pound or euros)

[–] sensiblepuffin 2 points 2 years ago

Pounds would make more sense, since then I've seen reports of the opening bid being 80M + 10M. I'm guessing it eventually will get done at something like 90M + 8M.
