Expand Yeah, that's been the word since back in June. I do think there's a chance if we had come out with that as our first offer earlier on they would have tried to get more, so I kind of get the whole approach.

timeEd32 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I’m good with that as a final offer. Much higher and we’re entering (reported) Ramos/Paqueta territory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Interesting that Fab is specifying that it's verbal, rather than an official bid. He does have good connections at Watford so maybe they're keeping him in the loop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
