If its only 100m then I dont see why we couldnt go in for him, theres been rumours of us stumping up 70-80m for a midfielder anyway, you'd think that if we are going to whack out 80m on a midfielder we could have done the extra 20 for Bellingham. Its not an enormous difference between 80 and 100 after all. 80 and 130-150 yes, big difference but 80 up to 100 isnt a huge jump.
That will be a real shame, I get that he maybe isnt in the best situation to be getting playing time but he has an massive amount to offer as a coach, particular to a youth/reserve team. I had really hoped that if he was going to not be playing for us that he might move into the staff instead and stay.
I imagine its more then 100 but we dont know the rest of the demands, you could be talking silly money in wages etc.
a good video on how Leicester came to be struggling so much with finances etc. It explains why they need to sell Maddison irrespective of whether they stay up or not. Not selling Tielemans was a bad move. And unsurprisingly to anyone but Bodgers buying Vestegaard and Bertrand was a donkey move contrary to the club's business plan.

Decent profit for an above average winger.
Would doubt the fee but he’s a player we had a long term interest in.
Don
He’s already rejected you, why would you want him?
Soldato
Does anyone really think he was going to sign for Liverpool? Pleased it's not City though.
There’s a list of players that are long term targets and we rarely swap and changed. The club is more than prepared to wait for the players we want often over multiple windows.
What was your opinion of him when he played for you? I've watched him multiple times for Barca and didn't turn up in Quite a few games. Can't say it would excite me signing him, have the same feeling about it as the Gordon transfer.
You can tell that after 2 transfer windows?
3 windows.
Botman and Gordon
Reused to pay the inflated price.
Played the waiting game pick them up at the price we were comfortable with.
Well forest paid for him hah we where quoted 60 was it at the start!
It’s not just that. We walked away from multiple deals that we have seen as extremely inflated but still have an interest in. Diaby and Madders off the top of my head. Both deals probably would have got done if we had met the asking price.
The club has also been very vocal on their transfer policy.

You didn't pick Gordon up for a comfortable price. No one else wanted him. Chelsea were prepared to pay a mental price, you were slightly less mental for a player that scored 3 goals. You won a bidding war against no one. Don't get me wrong Newcastle are doing superb but there's fewer more inflated prices than Gordon to Newcastle. Richarlison was expensive but at least he was doing it in a poor team and in the national side.

He entertains which is something you don't see nowadays, so instantly became a cult hero, he did keep us up at the end too. He might not have got the numbers at Leeds but everything went through him. I'm surprised at his numbers for Barca as I thought around great players he'd excel.
So who are arsenal signing this summer?
Rice
Mount
Zaha
Guehi
Rice looks more and more likely to be heading our way, his best mate mount is looking likely to leave chelsea.
Both to arsenal?
We definitely need another cb a central midfielder and a striker i still say we should be going for ivan toney
