Proposal is for Β£100m + Β£5m in add-ons - would be a record for a British player as #AFC try to agree deal with #WHUFC for top target @TheAthleticFC

Makes sense from a poker perspective but fuck City for making us ante up like this. We probably could have gotten away with 90+5 or something similar, but noooo, can't have nice things.

I honestly think they have been sticking to their guns ever since they won their trophy and bumped the ask from 90 to 100. We played our cards right and this should get it done. If not, we should tell them to fuck off

We should actually express interest in Caicedo so as to appear to be pursuing other options. They might not believe it, but we have to do something, I'm so tired of being a transfer punching bag.

Never thought I'd see my club move like this. If West Ham don't like this then fuck em.

Seriously, like even a year ago I never thought that we would be going in for a Β£100m player.

can't wait to smash them into relegation

Yeah if they say no to that then fuck them...

[–] ironeaglebird 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This has to be it. West Ham can't possibly expect us or City to go even higher.

[–] MHPengwingz 4 points 2 years ago

If they don't, they're just fucking with the market and their player lol

Arsenal gonna pay more than 100m for a player. What a time we live in.

No more frugal AFCπŸ˜†

Holy shit. This is actually happening πŸ¦€

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Obviously, not a serious bid.

Should have offered Β£100,000,001 + 5m

[–] Gingerrific 3 points 2 years ago

I've been adamant Rice was signing for us and this bid really gives me belief in us getting this deal done in the next few weeks

Omg it’s happening

[–] Eabryt 2 points 2 years ago

I'm fine with this number, but I really hope he can hit the ground running.

Also, I love how 90M was unimpressive but 105M is "massive", it's almost as if they were always going to treat anything under a hundred as insulting.
