Let me just point out that people wanted to us to be play more hardball with negotiations. I understand we all crave our carbohydrates, but 1) West Ham know they’re losing him, 2) Declan has privately declared he only wants us through multiple channels, and 3) our bid is within 10% of the seller’s (presumed) valuation.

Don’t let Twitter tell you that this is another insulting, disgraceful bid (fuck you, Naylor).
