I think this will be done by the end of the week. They obviously know the price and are just testing the waters, get the maximum fee and re invest.

Admire your optimism mate, but Forest can’t turn down £100m+ and I suspect Elliott can’t turn down what could be a 300pc pay rise and CL football. Agree there needs to be a deadline though - we can’t have an 8 week circus with us missing out on replacements. I think this will be done within the next few days.
Hey Manchester City with your 115 cheat codes.
Pay up or shut up.
We're setting the price, not you and as everyone in football knows you cheat financially that price is going to be so astronomically high that you'll have to ask your legal team to take a pay cut to get you off your charges.
Welcome to the new World order, where, as Spurs found out last summer, Nottingham Forest don't roll over for one of the protected big clubs.

"Worth £60M tops"
"Nowhere near as good Tonali, get him instead"
"He'll be furious, he clearly wants to play for a massive club and not one with an empty ground, no fans and a championship manager"
"Who the f*ck do that championship club think they are asking for that money"
"He's nowhere near City standard anyway"
I've seen every comment imaginable. They're such a bunch of insufferable deluded twats.

Surely those Opta stats posted the other day showing he's arguably the best PL midfielder both in and out of possession should quieten them down.
Gutted he is leaving but it was inevitable he would go to a top Champions League challenging club. He is one of the best players we have ever had in the Forest kit. I still pinch myself that we are in the position to have players like this. Who was it that managed to pull off the reported 20 mill plus the dodgy keeper for him? One of the greatest value for money deals in Oremier League history.
£100 mill is about right in my opinion but hopefully Marinakis can get some lucrative bonuses attached. Whilst it leaves a hole in midfield, that money is a game changer for recruiting a top striker which has to be one of the priorities.

I’d take 100 mill minimum. If they won’t offer that I’d rather we make no signings this summer just loans and go again. We shouldn’t be bullied here.

Obviously I don’t know him personally but Elliot doesn’t seem like the kind of person to down tools. Would be extremely surprised if he’s still here at the first game of next season however, if he is he’d give his all I don’t doubt that.

This is the beauty of last summer, that MGW situation genuinely couldn’t have worked out any better for us based on the reputation it gave us if people want to buy our players

The money will come in eventually, City gambled on the possibility we need to sell and raise funds before the WC. Fully expect them to pay up before the end of the window

I suspect Marinakis has quite a good relationship with Citeh. I think this will happen and I think future deals between the clubs could well happen too.
Conversely I wouldn’t be predicting much business between Forest and Spurs or Man Utd

Exclusive footage of the negotiations, you won't believe, shocking etc ( sorry I'm not very good at this yoo toobie shit)
All good reasons not to go on X or other such media.
Anthony Gordon went for £70m and I am seeing reports City value Anderson at £80m utter madness is you use the Gordon fee as a stating point. I get forward players tend to often go for more money. But if you use the Enzo and Rice fees as a starting point add in football inflation as those fees were a couple of years ago honestly I don’t think £115-120m is being unrealistic here.
If they don’t want to pay the money he stays simple as and his value will just rise and rise.
Anyone know if add ons are included for squad cost ratio purposes or PSR or whatever they are calling it now?
So if we sell for £100m + £10m is adds ons how does that work I assume as he might not hit all the add ons it gets booked as a £100m?
My real concern here is how we invest the money having got it so wrong last year. I remember Spurs wasting the Bale money it’s so easy to do.
Fully agree we need to try and get this done ASAP while getting the fee EM wants at the same time. We don’t want a repeat of last season and getting in players late who in many cases I feel we’re panic buys.
It’s just a shame it would have been nice to see a Forest player in the England team for the World Cup. It’s been a while since that last happened. But whatever needs to happen for the good of our club must be done.
EM should insert a buyback or loan back clause on the deal should City be relegated if he does that and we get £115m fee that would be pretty funny…

Telegraph (Percy) reports that EM wants £115m minimum, so I think it's unlikely City went in as low as £80m.

I think there will be an element of pride at play too. If you're Elliot Anderson I'd imagine you're thinking "£80m?! f*** off, I'm worth way more than that".

Absolutely top trolling from Marinakis wanting £115M.
I'm not convinced City go as high as that, personally. They're well known for refusing to go above their valuations for players.
Monkman
John Robertson
Well on the surface at least it's because it's what Caicedo went for.
I don't think they'll pay that but I can't see it wrapping up for under £100m.
You are assuming the thick f***ers can read.

I believe that Bournemouth have slapped a £130m release clause on Rayan.
The days of the Sky 6 clubs trying to lowball lesser clubs have now gone.
Pay up, or shut up.

EM - Hello, who is dis?
City - It's Manchester City, how are you?
EM - Forget all that, what do you want?
City - We want Elliot Anderson, we've agreed terms and value him at £80m, so that is our bid.
EM - Is that right. Well, i value him at £1m per charge, so it's £115m upfront or get to f*ck you cheating slags.
