Declan Rice

[DeBlueLou]

I think we match it with better terms

No way City feel he’s worth more than 100

 

[Blu3m00n91]

No chance we will offer more than that. Over £110 mil for Declan Rice behave yourself. Could get Barella for about 40

City still need a proper Gundogan replacement… shouldn’t stop looking now after Rice…

Fully expect a brief around mid July from the usual journalists stating city are happy with their midfield options

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

lol yeah we offered 90 mil for a guy that can't start for us. You must think Pep and Txiki are dim.

What can I say. Maybe they have a blindspot with English centre mids

 

[Semper aggressus]

Fuck’s sake, hope this is bullshit.
Come on City, outbid the cockney twats.

I believe we will match that tomorrow & then it comes down to the player and what he wants.

Meaning we’ll get him.

Interesting that his Dad is his agent. Usually in that type of situation, you'd expect winning medals to have more significance than otherwise, given it's a labour of love and the people involved have been there since the beginning. We can give him a guarantee of playing in a world club cup, and we will be at least joint favourites for the CL next season again, something Arsenal can't match no matter what.

As a northerner turned Londoner with a few West Ham friends, I can also confirm that fans of the London clubs all despise Arsenal. I didn't realise how deep it ran until this season when they all proactively brought it up to me. For all the talk of 'staying in London' being important, nobody's mentioned that factor.

Heartening to read that last para about the views of other London footy supporters.

Danamy is/was ITK as far as I’m aware, although it’s been a while!

Not seen him on here for a long while, must have an inside steer on this one

 

[Blue_Rossy]

Rags will offer more tomorrow. It's in their DNA.

Haha piss can in the taxi now to scoop him up

 

[KingGeorge]

No chance we will offer more than that. Over £110 mil for Declan Rice behave yourself. Could get Barella for about 40

I'm quite certain Barella isn't going anywhere for 40. Don't get kid yourself

 

[leo_city]

Thank god for that. No way we should be even in for Rice.

No way mate and he’s not for sale anyway! Barella would be at least £80m

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The best thing for City would be this bid being accepted. Then at least we know the price, it can’t escalate any more. Then it’s down to Rice. Has he told both teams he’ll join them, like Bellingham did? Are City correct to believe he wants us? We’ll find out. Arsenal’s bid will be accepted, then we’ll match it - accepted. Then we find out what Rice truly wants.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Fuck’s sake, hope this is bullshit.
Come on City, outbid the cockney twats.

Something we can guarantee is that it’s not bullshit

 

[hello]

I think we’ll go again to be honest mate, Pep seemingly really wants him and I think the club won’t want to be beaten by Arsenal to him either? Time to be a bit arrogant imo

Yeah I can see us matching or 90+ 15 sensible add ons likely to get the full whack before arsenal hire purchase scheme and letting playing decide. If West Ham reject then he’s used too many of his own dildos

 

[Blu3m00n91]

£100 mill would get you Frenkie De Jong

 

[chesterbells]

unless that 100m is in crazy installments can’t see it being rejected

£20m now, £80m later, £5m never ?

 

[DMA's]

Bet grealish is pleased to finally lose that tag of most expensive english player

 

[PJM1891]

Record bid for a British player, probably what Sullivan wanted all along. If we don't see any Gaughan or similar with stories soon we are backing out maybe we knew all along and will match it.

 

[Akash]

I mean we can just match that but with a better structure
