£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

....if reports are right, not much has changed with these bids. We offered £40m and now we've apparently offered £40m with add-ons. I wouldn't know what those add-ons are. I suspect a final offer might be £45m with £5m in add-ons.

A lot of the haggling now will be about payment structure and which exact add-ons mate.

Can see Swansea wanting a decent amount up front knowing we received most of the 75m from lukaku initially

Get it done fast, get Giroud done, then throw in a huge bid for vvd if he has indicated any chance he's willing to come.

Add those three and top four at least and a trophy should be the realistic and achievable target this season.
 
If I were Swansea I'd say the price is now 60M. This is playing out like a cheesy B-movie. You can only imagine the frustration we have given City over the years over the transfers of Stones and Lescott. Will be very interesting to see what Everton sell Barkley for after insisting he too is 50M.

Begrudging respect for Swansea. Although they will be relegated once Siggy leaves.
 

Does anyone know what the process for making an official bid is? I know it's not going to work like FM, but it's always struck me a little odd how long it can take between bids.

Is there a mountain of paperwork or legal hoops to jump through to make it official? Otherwise I can't quite understand why there are often weeks between and a bid being rejected and another coming in. In my mind, it can't just be negotiation or the second official bid would surely be accepted every time.
 
While this negotiation process has been tedious, I would rather overpay for quality than pay the inflated prices the market still demands for second and third tier talent. Get him and Giroud and you have your set-up guy and one of the best with his head around the goal. Great chance to take one of the worst teams on free kicks in the league and make them one of the best.
Excellent post, sir

The two chairmen meet in a smoky back room of a pub and sit across a table. Each has two shaven-headed heavies standing behind, scowling at each other. The selling chairman sits back, arms folded and a grim expression on his face. "So? " he says. The buyer then writes a figure on a blank piece of paper, folds it and slides it across the table. Chairman S picks it up, slips it into a pocket without looking at it and says "Whatever it is, I was five mill more, punk! "
 
For the sake of an extra 5m, just pay it. The manager clearly wants him and the transfer market has gone absolutely crazy. The likes of Walker are 45m so a player who can score 10 goals plus and be integral in our play is worth it.
