It's in today's papers, namely the times. Pretty much all media outlets reported we had 25 million pound deal agreed, they wouldn't have let him discuss personal terms if no offer was made. Upping a deal by a couple of million and you think, just pay it. 13 million? Makes you think twice

Don't you realise how media reports work?

Suits an agenda = gospel truth

Doesn't suit an agenda = bullshit

so basically, nothing official from anywhere? let's not forget. higuains dad was supposed to hold the irrefutable truth by being, well just by being his dad. look how that turned out. just think for a minute how on earth would anyone in the media be privy to what would have been a one off conversation like that.

Higuains dad/agent gave a direct quote to the media saying Madrid had given them permission to discuss personal terms with us. That's pretty official

and how do you know that exactly?

If you believe this sh*t he also said "in the same way as Juventus" regarding an offer and yet Juve had signed Tevez and Llorente so I doubt they'd have signed another striker.

Because funnily enough the media aren't allowed to just make up quotes. If they do that they say an anonymous source said...

which was two weeks ago and contradicted by their president and since then, nothing. i'm not inclined to believe either of them - although perez even less so - because they are dodgy spaniards working a deal.

i've got no reason not to believe ian ayre of liverpool, despite him being a scouser, nor the president of napoli, who also is a dodgy italian but as far as i know no history of bs like perez.

it's like us saying we can afford rooney's wages. great. brilliant. i'm sure that we can. but at the moment the words mean nothing until someone backs them up, from somewhere.

Nothing has been confirmed by anyone we can trust basically, until something is confirmed by both parties and a player is as good as signed I won't believe any of this BS about pipedream signings.

But will believe any bid made by another club for a player we have been linked too.
