Believe final #ncfc bid to Celtic for Hooper Thurs morn was a total package of ?7m. Celtic upped the asking price again, so City cut losses.

And finally, that chartered jet that flew from Glasgow to Norwich? It arrived here just before 10pm - and was empty... #ncfc #pinkun

So possibly McNally had agreed a fee when he went up there before the Spurs game, then we bid that amount Thursday with everything in place for him to come back, and Celtic changed the fee.

Fair play to Norwich for telling them to f**k off if that is the case, we'll just get him for ?5m in the summer.
