Declan Rice

[Keeper!]

Well Bayern dont want him. Doesn't look like Real Madrid or Barcelona are interested. Who else is available to spend 30m+ on a 29 year old other than a premier league club? Reports are we will bid 35m.

De Bruyne will be 32 by the time next season starts. He is getting to that age where the decline begins. Every footballer to have ever played commences a gradual decline in their thirties.

Unless you have de-aging potion, KDB as a high level functioning footballer has not long left. And yes, this is true. Unless you think KDB will be the first sportsman in history to defy the biological trend of sportspeople levelling off once they go past 30.

It doesnt matter if Odegaard will ever be as good as KDB, the fact is in two years time when KDB is 34 and Odegaard is 26, the likelihood of Odegaard being the more effective player is extremely high.

Sports people levelling off once they go past 30. Tell that to Messi, Modric, etc

I think we would rather loan him out to a club like AC Milan and pay half his wages than accept 35m from a big6 club :)

In 2 years Odegaard will be better than KDB, maybe correct, in 2 years thogh we will have a KDB replacement coached by Guardiola, so he will be better than Odegaard. Unless of course it is Odegaard.

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

Who would you want that we would part with? Saliba, Saka, Martinelli all recently signed up, and Odegaard is discussing a new deal. The idea we would let these go to lure Cancelo is nonsensical.

There are no rumours we want Phillips. Partey has interest in Italy but unless they stump up a decent fee he will stay. There are rumours of a passive interest in Cancelo, but if anything did happen it would be at the end of the window. Rice is our main target

Partey has other off field issues does he not
We would want Odengaard obviously I would offer you Cancelo and 75 million see if it unsettled him and left you in a position to make a decision
Yes I accept it’s unrealistic
I would then say well unfortunately you’re not having Cancelo on the cheap
It’s £60 million take or leave it otherwise we will sell elsewhere
We are in a position where the best players will want to come to us to win trophies
You are still emerging and behind us at the moment
What is the saying we hold all the cards

Plus I may just throw in a cheeky £100 million pound bid for Rice just to confuse and make you pay more

In your present situation, are you guaranteed top 4?

Still not sure what this "situation" you were referring to is?

Obviously can never say guaranteed for anything but I think it's fair to say that ...

1/ City are the most likely team to finish in the top four, and will have the narrowest odds with all the bookies, most likely to be considered favourites for the league by vast majority of pundits and journalists again.

2/ based on context that's obviously the intention of the original post.

I think you're a good poster and it must be tricky not to take all the bait that gets thrown at you on here but this one is straying into word games as a wind up. If the forum is aggravating you to that point then you're better of just stepping away for a bit.

You have to accept it's gonna be like this on a rival team's forum, it's the dedicated place people come to to be entirely biased and tribal, and you've chosen to spend time here.

Is he suggesting we”ll get points deduction based on the charges

Of course he is,and yet people keep entertaining and replying to the snide fuck and his multiple usernames.
