In reply to: Because, until then, Arsenal insisted he wasn't for sale. posted by tex29

without Arsenal securing a replacement. No team is making a replacement bid at 90MM first without having the right amount of reserves secure and their valuation met.

City reluctant to make a serious offer significantly delayed the clock from starting. Had all summer to make certain or some price discovery on valuation.

The low bids for Alexis was not even exploratory. The same team just sold Ox for 40MM. For OXLAIDE-CHAMBERLAIN. 40MM....
