Declan Rice

[tolmie's hairdoo]

The internet has given too many people the ability to gleefully show everyone how stupid they are. She's even doubled down.

It also tells us she knows she has been a figure of national ridicule for her ridiculous statement and has been hurting real bad.

She's grasping for anything.

Now that this saga is done. I’m hoping for some left field unknown signing to randomly come into the fray. Surely with all our vast scouting networks around the world we can find a monster of a player hidden deep tucked in the depths of South America etc..

You gotta remember not too long ago caiceido was playing for an Ecuadorean team 2 years ago and now he’s going to be sold for a minimum of £80M.

Also I’ve heard that the FA have relaxed permit rules meaning any player from around the world can be signed very easily. I’d much rather, we find gems before they explode and inevitably get sold on for 10x their value.

Out of interest, how thick is whale sperm? Always wondered, but I'm banned from SeaWorld.

For this to happen we need Brighton's transfer team.

So this one goes to @MillsyTheMosher in the end then, after a VAR check.

I skipped from about page 700 to 900 so not sure just how many crazy theories were put out there, but I’m still not buying that what she said had any truth to it whatsoever. I think we tested the water with what we felt was a very fair offer. It was knocked back and we weren’t willing to go higher. Sometimes things can be straightforward and I believe this instance to be one of those times.
Fact is, if it actually came out that what she said was true then anyone involved should be sacked asap.

As I said mate, outside of WHU, Rice, Arse & City, none of us really know what happened apart from City saying we'd ended our interest, with no reason given.

Eni's speculation is as valid as anyone else's in my book... \0/

As impressive as their scouting network is, surely the city group network should be better and start to reap to reward of our worldwide scouts? So far it’s been duds like Kayky who’s been wheeled out between CfG clubs. Alvarez though was a great find so far. We need more Alvarez type transfers for sure.

The reality is at certain points of this transfer both him and Tolmie were correct. Nothing Tolmie posted has been proven to be incorrect.
We outbid Arsenal then he’s wearing sky blue next summer. We didn’t and therefore he won’t.

Mate, there were people on here up to 10 hours ago claiming he was spotted in a local hospital having his medical, & some were even willing to bet a kidney on it! Lol :-)

I'm not saying she got it absolutely spot on, & none of us outside of City's transfer board will truly know what our true intentions were, but the end result was Arse panicked & coughed up £35m more than their initial bid, & with the mission complete, we stepped away & got on with our intended business, leaving Arse massively overpaying.

Eni was more on the money than many of us gave her credit for... :-)

City fuck Arsenal over = City led
City 'assist' Arteta = Arteta led

You've suggested both.

Pretty much obvious what happened as it is something we have done many times before. We have our own idea of what a player is worth to us and stick to that. We don't get dragged into auctions and pay more than we value a player at. When Arsenal's bid went beyond what we felt represented reasonable value, we withdrew.

Pretty standard procedure for us and nothing to do with Aluko's nonsense.
