I thought the first offer was 80m total?
I've seen different numbers bandied about but that's the figure Romano quoted recently. He wasn't clear if that was only the up-front part or the total, but I'd think it's the latter and find it unfathomable that Arsenal would make a worse offer the second time around for their top target. I genuinely expect we upped the bid by 10 million, but focused on add-ons, which WHU understandably might not have liked.
First offer was 80+10, I believe, and West Ham was a little mad that the add-ons were (in their mind) unachievable (e.g. winning the Prem, winning the Champions League). As someone else said in this thread already, the 15 in this new offer, if it's accurate, must be for easier targets for Declan/us to hit.
