Declan Rice

[BlueDejong]

looks like deal off?

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Think we've broken Stephen Howson (Again!) I think it maybe worth sharing this with someone at City, as I believe he becomes quite libellous about City and FFP and CAS at about 11:30mins in...

Why bother giving tosspots like this fella air time and clicks?

 

[Damanino]

so did we bid or no?

maybe WHU just created this imaginary licit to get more out of Arse?

I find it hard to believe that we're in for Rice.

We're normally a lot swifter when we do want someone, and there's normally no 'expecting a bid' as media generally finds out about it once its been submitted (or, more pointedly, agreed).

missed out on Bellingham & according to tolmie Rice was 2nd choice from Pep/Txiki

It was probably never on in the first place, but for a few carefully placed tweets by well known manuipulators that cause an unnecessary shitstorm.

I’d like to think at this stage we are already clear what we want the midfield to look like.

As much as we'd like to believe that our management have it all figured out. And everything is going to plan. It probably isn't the case, as can be seen with Bellingham. Add to that the uncertainty around Bernardo/Mahrez etc...

 

[SWP's back]

Find this interesting as I have no clue who Buvey is but known EK for quite a number of years. Well, I’ve always thought it best to limit the number of people online I watch with regards to football.

EK is sound and down to earth. Feels like everyone else and their YouTube channel is some soap opera to help generate views and clicks.

Two sips aside, I hate the cunts that run “fan channels”

 

[hello]

A lot of journalist write about “Peps only got two years left”…. Arteta then? It’s a non-argument. I don’t think players look at that length, maybe if it’s one year.

Yeah that's a really stupid argument, arteta has got 3 months tops if they start the season how they ended the last one with those fickle mard arses.

 

[Goatmeal]

It’s like Tixi is sat there with this guy scribbling down a team formation to fit Rice in.
“No, I can’t get him in yet. Go and let everyone know on twitter”
