Declan Rice

[Tb1981]

True, but Arsenal must be very tempting as he would be the main man and would be guaranteed games.

Here he may well have a very difficult first season and moving up north for a londoner is a big commitment in itself.

If you can’t move 200 miles in the same country to play for the best team in the world then you shouldn’t be here anyway

For a cockney 200 miles north is the other side of the world

Arsenal won't be competing for the title again any time soon.
1. Not got the depth to
2. Manager doesn't have a plan B ect, lost a cb and season fell apart
3. Other teams who have had an off season will come again(particularly Liverpool)

Dont know their budget, yeah Rice improves their midfield but that money would be better spent on a striker

Think Rice would be brilliant for us in Stones' new role.

Surprised you think that. They're on to finish on 85 points and they're going to strengthen. They're not like City where it's almost impossible to strengthen: a class right back and a class DM is a transformation for them. Rice and Cancelo turn them into a big threat imo.

Cancelo will never settle anywhere imo mate

I think they collapse.

Odegaard is going to be tapped up to fuck now.

Saka as good as he is has had some awful luck when it comes to having "a successful career" so far. That can break a player.

Rice is a quality addition, Cancelo would ruin them.

29 year old. 3 years in London and then he fucks off to Portugal again. No need tk settle

 

[Gabriel]

A trait that will unfortunately have an impact on how much we can recoup for him. Maybe we can arrange a deal similar to the one we struck involving Danilo.

The only stories about Odegaard are that Arsenal are going to offer him a deal with a wage packet similar to Saka. So the tap up job better begin soon, before we offer him 300k a week. As he has been to Madrid and had a negative experience. He is the current captain and leader of a young team, with himself being young, the capacity to get him to commit to beyond his current deal 2026 is strong.

Even if other clubs bid for him. The figure would need to be well north of 100m to get us to sell. We would ask for more money for Odegaard than whatever Bellingham goes for. Were talking 120-140m. Signing Odegaard would be a mountain to climb for any admiring club. Im sure some would think 60-70m could do it, but then you would have to deny the fact thats what we signed Pepe for that amount. If we would shell out 70m for Pepe and bid 85m for Mudryk, we would piss on a 70-80m bid for Odegaard, and give a 'sorry but no' response to a 100m bid.

Yes he would, but not as good as Stones. Does he want to be Stones' back up ?
