OUR OFFER IS VERY GOOD - STEVE
Steve Lansdown has rejected claims City made two "wholly inadequate" offers for Bournemouth top scorer James Hayter.
The chairman confirmed to bcfc.co.uk that City have made moves for the 14-goal striker, but says the offer made are "very good" for a player who is out of contract in the summer.
Steve told bcfc.co.uk: "We have spoken to Bournemouth and have made a good offer.
Chairman says "bid is good"
"You've got to remember James Hayter's name was circulated, along with Brian Stock, who has since gone to Preston North End.
"We know Huddersfield bid for him, we know what that bid was and we know our offer was in excess of that.
"We feel our offer, which has been rejected, is a very good one for somebody who is out of contract at the end of the season.
"We'll continue to speak to Bournemouth, going back and forwards with them before hopefully agreeing on a figure."
But the chairman warned: "The figure Bournemouth have given to me is well in excess of our bid, so we are some way apart at the moment."
Cherries chairman Peter Phillips has already rejected a £100,000 bid for Hayter from Huddersfield and has now labelled City's offer "wholly unacceptable".
