I live in Qatar. My youngest plays at PSG Academy there. Been there tonight. 3 none playing kids in City kits. My eldest plays for a pro clubs academy here and quite a lot his team mates are City fans. We are massive

I'm on the brink on finishing with twitter. Too many kids on there posting ridiculous things to get retweeted or liked.

100%. I've said for years sportswashing is a word that makes journalists not something that covers up misdemeanours of countries!

I'll keep my eyes open next time I'm enjoying a coffee at Rhode Island

I'm all for matching Arsenal's bid and getting it done over the 2 installments. Thar said is it worth trying West Ham terms at a slightly lower offer than Arsenal's?

Yup this is the confusing bit. Generally, every source is saying we haven't bid, yet tolmie said a bid went in Thursday (ish). Either tolmie's source was a bit keen or other clubs itk aren't as itk as ours!

Possibly. I'm speaking from experience. I asked for playing time assurances before I signed my lad to a pro club. If Rice's agent doesn't ask this maybe he would ask where he slots into the team? Then he can deduce how much time he gets?

Ask yourself these questions. Would City be talking to Sullivan/Rice if they hadn't been given assurances over Rice's decision (maybe they haven't had it if there has been no bid?). Also would Rice be still considering City if he hadn't been given assurances over playing time?

If its anything like Qatar where I am, they don't play in summer. Yes it's not great early or late in the season but it's blood lovely in between. My son plays for a pro clubs youth team, most QSL games are played at night as are the trainings. After a season my son didn't complain playing in...

As I'm sure they will. However, don't be surprised if Pep deems them not ready for this team.

Still Al Saad

No, it's a dry state

Is it last minute interest though? We don't know if City have been talking the Rice's agent for months? I'm sure Tolmie mentioned he was a back up. I imagine we take our backups as far as we can and if the situation arises we just need to push the button?

I agree with the majority of this post, however completely disagree players will wait a week or 2. This would potentially ruin the deal in place with the other club involved. Arsenal would know 100% why hes delaying, potentially causing them to look elsewhere and rip up his 225k a week, 5 year...

Hes the one who is 50/50 though. Gundo may not even know, nevermind City.
