Declan Rice

[Keeper!]

Seems like we got a bargain, at this point.

The guy has turned around a very underwhelming first season brilliantly, but he ain't no bargain come on.

He was almost free. Very close, anyway.

 

[Keeper!]

Arsenal still trying to agree a deal on structure of the payment.

Imagine West Ham insist on this 12-18 month payment schedule and talks break down lol.

NO club will pay of that size over 18 months.

Be pretty hilarious if it fell through

It would but it simply won't, West Ham need the money and the player wants the move.

David Sullivan seems like a bit of a clown (to put it politely).

Sullivan has Arsenal by the balls and he’s twisting. Fair play to him.

agreed.

Doesn't mean he's not a clown with the way he goes about things.

What happens if Arse agree but then fail to pay the installments on time?

 

[richards30]

did we offer the £90m inc add ons over two years?

 

[IT and Me]

did we offer the £90m inc add ons over two years?

I believe so, yes. £75m over 2 years plus £15m in add ons.

 

[richards30]

I believe so, yes. £75m over 2 years plus £15m in add ons.

I wonder if Sullivan would be tempted by our offer then if the Arse just refuse to do it over less then say 4 years?

 

[Sir peace frog]

im sure this transfer will go ahead on the date it suits both clubs for ffp reasons, isnt 1st july the cut off date, arsenal have spent a lot recently (last few years) so maybe they need this to come under the new ffp year

Being linked with brozivik now from inter Milan.

Brozovic?

Another one off to Saudi apparently.

Imagine talks stall between arse and West Ham and we swoop in with a £75M +£25M deal paid in 2 instalments. Suits all parties, West Ham hit their £100M mark and we pay less guaranteed fee up front since we pay in less installments.

Either we get the player or we play arsenal like a fiddle again and they panic and pay £100M in the payment structure that West Ham want. Win win lol.

Could there still some mileage left in this one? Arsenal stalling for the sake of £10m. They’ve got previous for missing out on targets for this reason. I suppose that now we understand rice prefers arsenal, we’ve decided against it anyway? Anyone heard anything?
