Declan Rice

[xgorton]

It's all old news now we move on,close the thread off to watch cricket come on Lancs.

We absolutely CANNOT lose Bernie now. Otherwise we are officially weakened from last season. That would be frustrating given we should be building from a position of utmost strength.

And you want Rice to replace Bernardo? He's not on the same Planet.

If Rice is worth 105, how much is Bernie worth? I wouldn't be talking to PSG unless they offer us 150.

Another one I wanted, that we got all excited about, looked favorites and after the usual saga - didn't get!!
It's not done us too badly in the past I suppose.
Would have been the perfect fit.

Arteta HAS to win something now, and i don't mean a domestic cup. They are backing him big time here, and it's fair enough because he turned them around last season, but it means he has to deliver.

This is a great point; it puts major pressure on them from the get go in a different way to last season.

They are a really good team but they had a bit of an anomaly for half a season where they trended for 100 points and then they defaulted to their average.

Havertz and Rice really good signings for them though given where their weak spots were.

txiki & omar really care about the net spend trophy...pep won`t always save the day

 

[robbieh]

Never thought he was good enough and didn't think he ticked enough boxes for what we need.
Only surprise to me is that we appear to have been interested.

 

[christened at st marks]

Saving our powder for another target, you don't offer 90 mill then say we don't need that area covered anymore.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

While we may have pulled out due to price, it's a bit worrying we were ever in for most of those.

All of them apart from maybe Maguire would or could have had very successful careers at City.

Remind me where I said I want Rice to replace Bernie?

You'll get over it.

Already am mate, support the club 100%, they know what they're doing. We've established a reputation for refusing to overpay for players and this just adds to that. Just warning people that Rice is better than they think, that's all.

 

[meeesh]

If they spend £170m on Rice and Havertz to finish 2nd and trophy-less they’re a complete laughing stock.

Laughing stock anyway mate after last seasons debacle,that’ll last quite some time in my eyes,maybe this coming season they’ll realise the league isn’t won in March,but they’ll be lucky to get top 4 and I’m sticking to that

 

[mancityscot]

Excited to see who the alternatives are...

He says, fully expecting Gvardiol to be our last business of the window.

 

[JTFactsPlz]

There’s silly season then there’s deluded tripe… the idea Rice was in Manchester yesterday for a medical was the latter.
Never muted anyone on here of any social media platform, I’m all for debate and discussion but can’t abide 2 things, lateness or stupidity.

And I can't abide unnecessary rudeness so I'll go ahead and mute you and do us both a favour.

Wonder how pep must feel right now. Lost out on top target bellingham to madrid, strongly wanted gundo to stay which would've negated the need for rice and not prompted us to come into the bidding race but got overriden by the board. And now lost out on rice which was his bellingham alternative to Arsenal.

Yeah, bet he’s writing his resignation as we speak.

 

[houraisen]

Our board decided that Declan Rice was not worth £105m. I strongly support this decision.

 

[Sibierskii]

So this time yesterday he was ‘in the bag’ and was even seen at a local hospital!

Haha!

Anyway

No point worrying about what ifs. If this was city losing out on a ‘generational talent’ like Haaland I would share your concerns, but Rice, mmmmm

I'm not talking about generational talent player like Haaland while he is important he is not, Pep is still the most important for our club above any player we have even Haaland himself.

that's why i said Pep will always work with any cards in his hands because he the only select few manager with this kind power in the world. We are so fortunate to have Pep as our manager but we also depended alot for him to do work with any player that he have given even if that just second, third, fourth choice player by Txixi.

I think people will only truly appreciate him long after he left from City and how extraordinary he was to transform this team to be one of the best if not the BEST club side in history of football.

Check out my post on Monday at 4.38pm...City will not be signing Declan Rice so please let us move on...nice to be correct occasionally. Only wish my stock market success was better.

People will always forgive you for being wrong. But no-one will forgive you for being right.

Smartarse :)
