Declan Rice

Best let pep know your scouting then ;)
....I didn't and wouldn't suggest buying him, I just think he offers W Ham more than Rice, ie Rice is even more limited ;)

Rice edges it as he does have similar qualities to John Stones.

Exactly. Current prices dictate that we can’t be spending big money on luxuries. Striker first and that will break our transfer record.
I’d like Grealish but how much will that cost?

We can’t be spending money on luxuries. I’d like Grealish. Lol

Not sure what you see, Stones is a class above Rice, I don't think Rice stands out in WH team, if he was anything more than just decent he would rise above like Grealish does at Villa.....I would say Mount stands out more in a far better Chelsea team than Rice does at WH.......all opinions though ;)
Doesnt mean I'd want Mount either!

Liverpool rated Ibe above Sterling!!!! lol

I must have had a hundred Spuds fans (loads round here) tell me that Trippier is better than Walker.

Similar qualities, both comfortable on the ball but not quite good enough to play in midfield, and they were (or are) still at similar level clubs before they were linked and in Stones case signed for us. As I said earlier in the thread if John Stones hadn't of showed signs he was still capable of playing in the team and he really wanted out I wouldn't of minded Rice joining us last summer.

It's standard with all clubs fans, sell your better players and convince anyone that will listen that what your left with is better!
My mate's a spuds fan....he told me Walker-Peters was better than both, then they flogged him soon after to Southampton lol

A really top player and only getting better.

His price is huge, but I think one day he will become a top centre half.

I'd take him in a heartbeat, can never have enough good players, especially if Fern and then Gundo step down.

For me its a no brainer, Pep takes him to another level & can easily fill in as CH for any reason, he has quick feet can pass & not frightened putting his body on the line
It's exactly the same reason as Grealish top player with massive potential they both make UTD that 30% better that challenges on all fronts

I honestly think UTD want both of these & Haaland

The cash coming through the door in the next couple of months is incredible money
£150m 2021 Prem Winners
€125m 2021 UCL winners
€110m runners up
€75m 2020 UCL owed
£100m Sane, Otamendi, Angelino, Pedro Poro, Harrison
Etihad new deal
PUMA money
Silver Lake & CME money

City can go all in without being hampered by FFP
