just seen it, Citeh reportedly want to pull a Mudryk on us.
If this does come to fruition (the bid above being confirmed), it'll be fun to watch how our resident Spud rationalises this (I'd bet he keeps on compartmentalizing ftw ) ......ahhhh sun kissed days filled with a healthy dose of drama lie ahead

Yeah.....this forum does need a bit of a facelift.

“The bid is below West Ham’s valuation and early indications suggest that it will be rejected”
But I don’t get it, Man City are treble winners and obviously operate in a way with more ambition than us…why would they be so disrespectful to West Ham with a low ball offer that’s likely to be refused ?
Whilst calling you a little girl is amusing it doesn’t really get us anywhere. What is true is that you’re married to a narrative.
A fear that we can’t get the big transfers done. What I’ve tried to get across to you, is that big transfers in the past were about the quality of the player, they are far more indicative now of the leverage selling clubs have.
I don’t really have a dog in this hunt apart from being of the opinion that we should walk away simply because Rice isn’t that good of a player. For clubs like West Ham/Shatkah it’s not about treating them with respect it’s about wanting the cash now rather than structured over the length of the players contract.
But at the same time pretty much everything I’ve said has been borne out, West Ham want a bidding war and that’s why they leaked City’s offer days before they made one (and by your logic it took City an eternity to make such an offer)
Another question you need to ask yourself about the Mudryk transfer, if we felt he was worth it why didn’t we simply match Chelsea’s bid that was accepted in terms of cash up front now and less add ons?.

I’ll have to upgrade to version 2 of the difference engine this runs on
There are image hosting sites, you know.
Youssef Fofana is our back up option in the event of failure to sign Rice apparently, have nothing to say about this because I don’t know enough about the player (basically anything) to offer an opinion, same age as Rice, was in the French World Cup squad (came on for Rabiot in the final).
Romeo Labia (yes I know it’s Lavia) is another player we are still interested in, I don’t think that signing is necessarily dependent on the Rice deal….probably about whether we can Xhaka, Lokonga etc off the books
Holding in talks for a loan move to Besiktas
Holy fuck, you know your career is fucked if you end up in Turkish football
City’s bid has been rejected and a third offer from us is imminent. West Ham laughing all the way to the bank.
I just don’t know what to think at this stage
It just doesn’t make sense
How can City a serious club by all accounts act so disrespectfully by low balling West Ham like this

Is that a leak or a photoshop? I don’t suppose it really matters as it’s likely we will announce him soon enough
