Declan Rice

I must be in a minority. Whenever I’ve watch West Ham I never thought he was motm or wow what a player. Maybe if he was in a really top team we’d see how good he really is

Gaz Baz springs to mind

There is no doubt it took time for City to learn to play with haaland, or any out n out striker for that matter. We had to learn a whole new system.

There hasnt been one player that has slipped in seamlessly under pep, they all take a season. Rodri and grealish looked decidedly average in their first seasons.

At times, haaland has looked cart horse.
So yep, as a team we may have scored 5 goals less than the season before but we havent seen anywhere near the best of using haaland yet . He’ll be better again next season.

I'm not knocking City or Haaland mate, far from it, the guy is a feckin monster. In just trying to point out, like I have been pointing out to rags, that scoring more goals is more complicated than just chucking a 30 goal a season striker on there. I mean, look how they fared by having Ronaldo up front?

You were saving energy being out of the cups while we had to save energy in the league by dropping into second gear once we got ahead we saw out games while saving energy.

Having played so well over the course of the season it must be deflating to end the season without silverware having tossed the cup completions off.

I'm remarkably fine mate. Considering where we've been the last however years, this season was always a bonus for me. Aim was top 4, we managed a title challenge. Never ever thought we'd have enough to see it through, so they exceeded any of my expectations.

so the rags are thinking of offering Maguire in part ex for Rice!
So would that be either £85m for Rice or £95m+Maguire for Rice?

West Ham should tell them no thanks

If he is anywhere near Barry we should go all out and get him, but for me he is not at that level.

 

[Semper aggressus]

He’d best not go to that shithole, far too good for them. If we can’t get Bellingham we should be all over Rice like a good curry, he’s far better than bloody Kovacic.

Apparently close to joining Bayern. Good for him. Deserves it. Hopefully it could affect Kimmich future ;)

Extremely reliable source for West Ham

He’s a much better player than Barry. Multi dimensional and a leader. Whoever gets him (doubt it will be City) will be a better team plus he is experienced but still young.
