Val saying we're £2.5m apart. I don't know whether that gap is getting bigger or smaller any more given the conflicting reports everywhere!

Seems like we're going backwards. I'm sure we were

Seems like we're going backwards on this one. I'm sure we were 2m apart a few days ago. At this rate we'll be lucky to get him in for 23/24 season.
I think there was a report that we upped our offer by 2m rather than being 2m apart

But that's a debate for another thread.....

Is this another pun? Some of them can be quite subtle.

If he turns out to be the Djed ball specialist we've been crying our for then hopefully we spare no ExSpence to get the deal done

Honestly I think Gibson knows he has us, when you threaten to walk and then come back you have shown your hand imo. Either we settle and get what we want at a cost but the only way to truly win this negotiation with Gibson is to be willing to walk away at this point.

Personally I'd say winning the negotiation is not important here and we just need to have clarity on the bigger picture. I'm hoping that the desperation for Spence says more about the targets for other positions that we want to be able to acquire rather than Spence himself and going a different direction undermines that. I guess it's about figuring out the knock on effect of paying the extra or the cost of these ridiculous bonuses he wants and the long term ramifications of that along with the aforementioned other pieces which would be affected by the necessity of needing a HG player.

I suspect Gibson doesn't have us and that we are looking at plan B &c and see and weighing those options. Between Antonio, Fabio, and Daniel, you have 3 individuals who you would think are pretty damn smart and stubborn at the same time.

This is just going to keep dragging on ?

Every week it’s the same progress, or rather lack of it …

You can make a pun out of anyone if you try hard enough. And I trust in the ability of SC folks.
I don't have a problem with the odd pun here and there. When it's the same pun over and over and over again it just clogs up the thread.

The sixth sense one today was decent because it was new and clever. Then it just descended into the same unimaginative bollocks, that has basically been copy and pasted daily for weeks.
