Declan Rice

I belive phillips said himself he finds it difficult to adapt or has problems or something similar

Yes, but that's a bit different than just shredding the guy

I belive phillips said himself he finds it difficult to adapt or has problems or something similar

He came in with a chronic shoulder injury, had surgery, went to Qatar and sat, lost fitness and then came back to a team of the highest tactical order who were facing a hard climb to reel in Arsenal and eventually pursuing its first ECL title, not to mention winning a treble. I'm not making excuses for him, just saying what actually happened. Is there something I'm saying that's not accurate? Given all that, I believe he still gets a chance to prove himself one way or the other. Anyone can say whatever they think, but I just think ripping the guy and already writing him off is a bit premature and going overboard. JMO

In fairness, it's likely to tarka huge offer to prise Rice away.

He otter be worth it though.

Boom! See what you did there.

 

[Haaland94]

Yep, this guy belongs at city

I want DJ Grealo, Haaland the rapper, and Rice doing the vocals. It would break the internet ;).

If the price for Rice gets ridiculous, we wok away

But if we do wok away we’ll never get any peas from the Arsenal fans.

Where's the Rice connection with that pun? I can see naan! I do agree though that Arsenal fans are a bunch of karahi babies.

 

[Dax777]

Looks like. But that's the type of creative attacking midfielder I would have preferred over Rice.

Tonali? Always tot of him as a DM.

Aleix Garcia at Girona?

The one who used to play for City, and didn’t make the grade?

Is he considered good now, because I know he wasn’t back when we were trying to move him on from City?

Yeah, him. He has developed into a dead ball specialist. Which was evident when he was here to be fair.

We will see again that's my opinion

 

[OntarioBlue]

i do wonder if we do £90-100m inc add ons and maybe Cole on loan?

I think that’s a good shout but something in my water tells me Phillips will be involved in this. I can see £55/60m cash plus Phillips. It ticks a lot of boxes. There is talk of sending Cole out on loan so why not West Ham ? They are a good team and he’ll get game time.
