From what I have heard Utd have offered £30m upfront + add ons totalling another £5m
(unless you are meaning £40m upfront)
Either way its within "lets sit down and negotiate" rather than "come back with a better bid" imo
I dont think they are that embarrasing - no less than Chelsea offering £20m for Rooney lol
Rooney isn't the best striker, nor midfielder around, is 28, has had a couple seasons of issues with fitness and motivation shall we say AND has asked to leave.
Cesc is 26, is generally rated in the scale from either best in his position in the world to, top 5 at worst in his position. he's just joined, he's said on multiple occassions all summer he absolutely unquestionably wants to stay at Barca... Barca have said on multiple occassions Cesc doesn't want to leave and they don't want Cesc to leave. 30mil for Cesc is embarrassing, 20mil for Rooney, isn't.
Barca need a "while we love Cesc, this is enough to buy 2 top class players" money, 50mil + , otherwise what is the point.
