Declan Rice

But if you had your way, we’d have a squad of 300+ players ;)

People would burn their own houses by seeing their neighbors buy new furniture. New shiny toy syndrome

Fucking right! lol You crush your opposition from a position of power though as well mate? As ruthless as it sounds i`ve done it in business and it sets others back when you grab what they want?

Source is Di Marzio, which means source is Sullivan, which means it’s not accurate. It’s a game they’re playing, as they know this is exactly what Sky et al will do.

City will only bid if it’s clear Rice wants us over Arsenal. City haven’t bid… so there’s our answer.

 

[p.taker]

It looks like West Ham wants to create a bidding war. IF he wants Arsenal, City would easily walk away.

If we sign Gvardiol and Kovacic this month, then we will not sign Rice this month next month probaby will make a move to sign Rice.

Also they are really hard pushing this narrative that Rice only wants Arsenal, if that is the case City would brief that we are no longer interested and walk away. But what if Rice only wants City and then West Ham wants more money so they are leaking that he wants Arsenal , so then they expect from Arsenal bid to more and then they can ask more money from City.

City wouldn't brief the press about their possible lack of interest if the end result is Arsenal having to spend more

we will look a bit stupid if he goes to Arse now. we should have immediately rebuff stories through Martin Blackburn that we re not interested and wont help out WHU to get more fee out of Arse, now the narrative is he chooses them over us as wants to stay in London and rates Lego Pep higher than Pep.

we still can put out a message, that Rice not fit to clean the boots of Gundo, Rodri, Yaya, Dinho etc and put in a bid we feel is right value of 45m pounds.

As if Rice or West Ham would tell City that he prefers Arsenal
Stupidest thing I’ve heard for ages

Really, who cares about a narrative? Come on. We literally do not need to say anything.

done and dusted to Arsenal as far as I'm concerned

Very surprising we are in the transfer window and publicly pursuing people who don't want to come.

I may have missed where City briefed any interest? It all came from WH side. Hardly public! Not even any confirmation that we were ever in for him.

This transfer reminds me of city being snubbed for united.

Maguire
Sanchez
Fred

Didn’t work out for those players. I will be happy with whomever decides to pull on the shirt. City miss targets all the time and it has no bearing on the season.

Welcome ‘somebody’ -:)

I'd love Barella, but just can't see him leaving Italy. He'd be amazing in our team.
