I can understand why. Quite a number of years back, they were ok.

Now there’s an over-saturation of them trying to make a quick buck as they say

That’s the thing. I don’t often watch Steven but when I do, he gives his honest opinions and goes into detail to explain why he’s saying what he’s saying.

Half of these cunts are the YT equivalent of those click bait articles on social media (you’ll never believe what so and so said….).

All they want is for people to quote them and watch the clip. They’ve no interest in honesty or appealing to their own fanbase. They just want to go viral, like the whores they are.

I met up with a few long time friends last night, a couple of which are West Ham fans and they're desperate for him to come to City over Arsenal.

He has to decide whether he backs himself to play regularly for us at the top level, but fresh from tasting European success it's a no brainer to go and join the team that's just won the big ones, rather than a team making all the right noises but ultimately still failing.

With the desperation from Arsenal to sign him, the quieter it goes the more confident I'd be.

If I'm an Arsenal fan, I'd be embarrassed the supposed pull is because he can continue to live in London.

David James really did say it best today.

Rice has told West Ham fans he wants to leave to play with the elite and compete for the biggest trophies.

Arsenal will do well to finish top team in London next season.

Rice can win a European Super Cup and World Club Cup within five months of signing for us.

Rice destroys his entire legacy with West Ham if he makes a backward move to Arsenal.

I think the fact that Ornstein reported yesterday that City a preparing a bid, and West Ham were expecting it yesterday, to today the reports are, City unsure what the midfield will look like. If we were 100% serious, the bid would have been in first thing this morning, as it won’t be long until Arsenals 3rd bid is in.

Unless Arsenal are waiting to see what City bid, so they can match or outbid us (I highly doubt this is the case as they’re already so close to a deal)

I don't remember reports claiming that City were preparing a bid. There were reports that West Ham expect a City bid.

Seems you’re more ITK than me, you think we’ve secretly signed him and not told anyone, and waiting till he’s back from Benidorm to let the media know..

No one is going drag Rice back from us holiday so he can do a welcome video! You can agree fee and hold the announcement! Kovacic the example
 
I just want to take a moment to think of all those people suffering from TFR in our community. Some people may belittle the pain and anguish of TFR but I see the real impacts on peoples lives. Especially during the long summer months and the dark days of January. It's no fucking joke. The feelings are fuckin real FFS!!! It is very difficult to deal with Transfer Frustration Rage. Where to direct all of this FUCKIN RAGE is no small thing. Should we scream at the ITKs or the clubs or the players? Who should we abuse? It's a fuckin travesty man. :-(

That to me seems like City were preparing a bid?

No, not really. It is closer than other reports, but there's still a difference. And in the context of all the other claims, I read it as coming from West Ham rather than any real steer from City.

I'm not diminishing the overall claim btw, jusy pointing out we have collectively already slightly re-written and embellished it.

I dont get TFR, easiest way to avoid it? Come on here, see what people who actually love this club say,who genuinely i believe share info they get,and never listen to any rag biased media bollox ,who just try and rip this club we love at every opportunity.

I do agree, like TH said, West Ham were expecting it from City. But Ornstein doesn’t usually put things out that come to nothing (not to my knowledge anyway)

Read in to it what we want. City placed a marker down for Rice last week after our England lads got to also speak to him.

We asked Sullivan to update us when Arsenal improved their bid and we told them a bid was coming in before lunchtime yesterday.

Sullivan does not want to sell to Arsenal and West Ham are convinced City already know Rice's mind.

No reason not to be confident or feel City being played for suckers.

We wanted Sanchez, we got Sergio.

We wanted Kounde, we got Ruben.

We wanted Bellingham, we will get Rice or another top option.

I love it when you talk "dirty" Tolm. ;)
 
The main stumbling block for those who want Rice is not the fee or the wages but does Rice himself think he is good enough to play in our first team on a regular basis.

He knows he's better than bottom half of the prem(no offence to west ham it's currently where they are) he is probably confident enough for a team fighting for top 4. But we are currently a big step up.

It's down to his own confidence more that anything else. Fear of failure could play a part.
 
Kunjord said:
Kovacic as an example that backs up my point? You can agree a fee and get a deal done, but Ornstein or Fabrizio will report on it, regardless of the club want them to or not.

Either way, my original point still stands, the deal has not already been done in secret
Click to expand...

And you know this how?

We had a deal with B.Silva, Haaland, Akanji, Alvarez etc, and Ornstein and Fabrizio didn't report on it till it was done. Sometimes they get a prior steer, sometimes they echo others, sometimes they guess (both right and wrong), and sometimes a deal happens without them.
