Declan Rice

[Worsleyweb]

Would love this kid

Phillips performance with the mic at the parade opened my eyes to what an integral part of the squad he is

He deserves another season just based off that

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Don’t city have right of first refusal or buy back clause ? I would bring him back , really impressed with his defensive and positional awareness.

No
That does come into effect until 2024 season at which time he'll have long gone from Southampton.

they have a match bid on this year

I’d like Rice here but I’m certainly not going to lose any sleep if he goes elsewhere (same with Bellingham).

Looks like Bernardo is off but that Gundo will stay, I’d love to add Lavia into the mix with Kovacic.

Rodri
Lavia
Kovacic
Gundogan
KDB

Looks good to me. Phillips more than welcome to stay and fight but can’t see it and think he’ll be off.

It’s got everything that midfield and plenty of options for rotation too.

Swap Philips for Rice with cash balance.

Football wise it would seem to work for all parties.

Except Phillips who wants to stay

Pep is going full on pulis next season;)

Does young delap have a long throw

Except Phillips who wants to stay

Or maybe wants a pay off on remaining years of contract.

He would want a very long one to throw it into the Etihad penalty area from whichever teams ground he will be playing at next season.

 

[Pep Talk561]

How would this work? Work along side Rodri?

Funny as a Google search actually brings up Newcastles owners family at £1.1T as the richest. Then you have our owner whose personal wealth is £17+B and his family at £1T! So no, they are not the richest family, they are not even close.
As for Private Enterprise as you put it… I think you’ll find Walmart are a public company as they are on the stock exchange. They’ve not been privately owned for a while (Since August 1972 to be precise).
I had a bet with a Utd fan (funnily enough he’s gone dark), he said Utd would win the league, at the point they all got giddy and were talking about a quad lol. I responded that not only would they not win it but would finish a minimum of 10pt’s behind city… he laughed, as did I at the seasons conclusion. I’m saying this as I’m that confident you won’t win the league next year that I’m happy to say on record you won’t finish top 2! I don’t care how much you spend, you had your shot this season and bottled it in epic proportions. Chelsea, Liverpool, Utd and Newcastle have all decided to strengthen and will all push, as will we. I’ve no idea who’ll c9me out top but I’m confident it’ll not be Utd or Arsenal.

I admire and applaud your confidence, fair play to you.

Unless we buy Rice for cash and sell Phillips and Cancelo to the Arse £100mill :)

The Walton family are the richest family in the world that are not royalty.

You’re kidding? Are you telling me that your owners son/de-facto leader’s mum is a member of that family; the richest none-royal family the world has ever seen? That is crazy! For me, I would give you all the trophies now tbh. What’s the point in any of us trying?!

You have all that irregular Levi’s and Funyuns money, from Walmart… or at least a De-facto percentage of it.

 

[leo_city]

Aside the piss boiling factor. Nothing about this is appealing. Especially when we have players of superior quality already. Phillips can really show his worth if he comes back fit and focused next season.

Don’t get into a game of Top Trumps with HumbledGooner lol.

 

[Gumzy97]

120 million West ham are holding out for or money plus a player apparently.

 

[RayCTID]

Fair fucks to Arsenal if they are going to pay that for him

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

Arsenal got the Walton’s so they’re just gonna table £150 million to get it done.

Goodnight Jimbob.

Would be very surprised if we sold to arsenal in the near future
