Declan Rice

[KingGeorge]

This is what Sam Allerdice said would happen a few weeks ago.

Harry Redknapp was the first person I heard say he heard Bellingham was going to Madrid. I guess even retired managers still hear things.

I knew there would be some tweets later on to get the party started.

It's making me dizzy though, one minute he's coming the next he isn't.

Just shows twitter and social media up for being the absolute playground it is 24/7.

More money and KP?

Bollocks.

This is what Sam Allerdice said would happen a few weeks ago.

Sam has worked there and must still have contacts still at the higher level there.

 

[Ethan23]

She is gorgeous is our Nat.

Annoying as fuck tho

 

[DeBlueLou]

More money and KP?

Bollocks.

It's not gonna be 100 + KP. Its gonna be seperate deals probably.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Even if we end up paying £100m for rice, that plus £30m for kovacic is 130m (or average £60m each) for two midfielders which isn't bad business at all.
Still no fucking left back though.

What words did they use to describe arsenal’s two bids which were lower than ours?

There’s your answer

 

[bmfc95]

Yeah but don’t we decrease our cash offer if we’re throwing in Phillips ?

surely there is no way we pay 85+ phillips

 

[skillman]

The thing is, when we walk away from deals it’s because we’re not willing to go up another £20m+ or have our pants pull down wage-wise.

If we’re bidding for Rice then we’ll know his terms. And we’re £10m off an agreement with West Ham on the fee.

I don’t necessarily think that all the ‘we don’t do bidding wars’ talk is particularly relevant here.

 

[Damanino]

I kind of agree that this price is laughable for Rice.

Barella is 3x time the player and costs less. Bellingham has 3x the potential and cost not much more and 3 years younger at least.

 

[balotellishaircut]

Have you seen him play?

Look we paid £40m for the guy, are we just going to write that off ?

 

[kalouk]

I think this West Ham ITK is starting to enjoy the attention a bit too much he is putting any shit out there now he's looking less credible with each tweet to me.

 

[deano ou812]

This is the ideal scenario isn’t it really. 45-50m plus Phillips?

Two birds one stone

Who are the two birds involved,seen Natalie Pike was mentioned ..

Let me know when Barella actually leaves Inter...

That’s what I’m saying we decrease the cash offer.

What's a left back?

 

[Fordyboy46]

70m plus Phillips

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

There were stories a few weeks ago that Newcastle wanted Phillips but were turned down as he wanted to stay at City. Can't see him suddenly fancying moving to West Ham instead to help us land Rice.

 

[MafeotulBlue]

You think City make transfer decisions based on what clowns on Twitter say?

Ah god no, it's the fake hype hysteria. Typical with the social media days. Creates quite an unpleasant feeling around transfers. I haven't quite recovered from Kane and Cucurella.
