Clever Man City.
Log a bid which you know will be rejected. Probably with a "Are you MAD. He's got ages left on his contract and he's TWENTY THREE".
Cue Man City calling up today "So....now he's 24...."
Football transfers make fans act very weird (ours and citehs). Creating whole back stories and theories based on standard transfer tennis.
It is what it is. The buying team are playing their games. The selling team play theirs. If I was cucurella I'd want the move. I imagine a price will be...
Brighton do not control the player's agents or intermediators agents. Anything coming out will be from the other side so it doesn't really matter how tight we are at keeping in info.

But we already have a striker signed from the championship. He scored yesterday.
You keep using them as an example of what we should do......when we've already done it.
Would you have wanted Adam Armstrong? Are you saying you feel we've been beaten to him? That's only way any of this makes...
They signed a striker from the championship who scored on his debut in the PL.
We did the same.
You are literally using saints as a reference to what we should do.......when it's something we did with Maupay.
What do you ACTUALLY want.
I don't understand what your issue is.
Story one, president of Getafe says bids made
Story 2, getafe say no current bids.
