It won't take weeks. I spoke directly yesterday to people involved.

We haven't made this move without a firm indication Rice would first choose us.

There is no advantage to be gained being publicly snubbed in favour of a team that hasn't won a league title for two decades and never been Champions of Europe.

Added to the fact, it makes a rod for City's back then trying to sign an alternative and being quoted ridiculous figures by other clubs.

City don't reveal their hand, albeit Sullivan isn't exactly helping by briefing off the record how strong our interest is.

Being given that indication wouldn't necessarily mean anything as we've been lied to before.

I'd be surprised if he turns down the chance to work with Pep but stranger things have happened.

When I say weeks I mean announced on City website!

Kovačić not even signed yet think we let them have there holidays before we announce..

i would imagine the player and west ham themselves want things sorting out asap to plan their squad, spend the cash etc as well? Cant imagine they are difficult to deal with either compared to a lot of other clubs? Any idea if the fee is agreed at all mate?

Rice is a good solid pro, nothing flashy, but does his job well and with consistency.

Another Gareth Barry and if he's anywhere near as good he would be a superb addition.

And these players are the foundations upon which other players can deliver.
