Now that Balotelli is about to complete his move to Citeh, a bidding war will start.
i hope we are not stupid enough to let him go for anything less than 25 million.
We are not in such a fantastic bargaining position as people might think IMO. The only two clubs interested are reportedly Barca and Inter. If neither of them are willing to pay anywhere near that amount what are we meant to do?? force them???
The stupid thing to do would be to keep the player who clearly doesn't want to play here any more and who is also already in the last two years of his contract.
If we could get 20million now id take it and run TBH as we will get nowhere near that in January and even less next summer when he will be in the last year of his contract.
By all means we should hold out for the best price we can get but we don't hold all the aces by any means. If we play too much hardball we are left with a player who doesnt want to be here and is also [oops] off because we didn't let the move happen.
