Declan Rice

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Why not bI’d £90mill and £10mill add ons? Boom! zDond and dusted. Unless City know the first offer will be rejected and that will be the 2nd bid?

I now feel that could be our master plan jrb and just blow Arsenal out of the water. 2 x payments of £45m plus add ons. Could Arsenal really afford that ?

 

[Chopper2115]

Even if they offer little bit more but not good insalments and our is over 2 years, our offer is still better.

West ham will test to see if we will go higher plus we haven’t see their new offer yet.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Arsenals third offer will probably be their final. This is Citys first... They got more room.

Arse's arses twitching...

Heard anything different mate ??

It’s seems obvious to me that Rice wants to play, and should play for Arsenal.

1) hes guaranteed immediate first team football
2) nowhere near pressure of playing for treble winners
3) what’s happened to Phillips after moving to city
4) london
5) guarantees his England place
6) doesn t need to learn the pep way (takes at least a season)
7) City already have other options in that role
8) he hasn’t got the potential to be world class - he’s good, but not that good
9) he can be a legend at arsenal and their project which has only just started - not at city.

Let it go……….

Time to stop sniffing the glue sticks…..

Phillips must be leaving. We don’t need both.

 

[MCFC1993]

So surely we don't bid without some encouragement from the player. Sounds like Rice to Arsenal might not be so sure.

 

[1Basti]

If WH doesn`t want to sell to Arsenal & prefers us then they should accept the bid & block bids from Arsenal. It would force Rice to us if the players is keen to join.

 

[Bluemoon has risen]

Have we ever been involved in a bidding war? We must be very confident to go in on this.

 

[Nour]

Somethings changed today. Very interesting.

That's what @tolmie's hairdoo told you anything can change in a day

 

[Bluearmy]

No swaps just pay West Ham the money. Move Phillips on in a seperate deal. Still could have given Phillips a better crack in getting back into contention.

No time for sentiment at our level…. Unfortunate for the lad but its best he leaves if Rice/Kovacic arrive

Surely would Have got assurance from Rice , one would imagine

 

[nmc]

Why not bid £90mill and £10mill add ons? Boom! Done and dusted. Unless City know the first bid will be rejected and that will be the 2nd bid?

Or we’ve agreed a separate lower fee for Phillips.

Zero chance. City always check the camp first.

 

[Kunjord]

Is funny how the Arsenal fan meltdown has already started.

When they lowballed their first 2 offers it was ‘negotiation tactics’ now City’s offer is in and I’m seeing ‘they won’t accept that & Arsenal will top that’

We know City won’t engage in a bidding war (although that’s exactly what West Ham want) and must have an indication that he wants City.

 

[Blue warrior]

Something just feels a bit weird around this transfer but can’t put my finger on it.

 

[Gumzy97]

I'm guessing Pep really wants Declan Rice.
