Declan Rice

If Arsenal buy him huge huge pressure on Arteta next season. Based on this season the pressure was way too much. Going to be an interesting season as all the top clubs will be much stronger.

With the Viking in last summer and with the treble, it was difficult to summon up the outrage after the Bellingham news. Much less so for Rice.

I think Guardiola would still need someone like Rice. Rodri played more minutes than all other City players. I am sure Rodri relishes playing, but I am hoping he and Guardiola would come to an agreement that he would play less. So, Guardiola would need either a defender who may operate as a CM, an 8 who could operate as a 6, or a carbon-copy of Rodri. The Croatian defender's name being bandied about is exciting. Maybe even getting Kim, with a release clause, from Napoli in addition to the Croatian might be good.

At the end of the summer, I would hope the outcome is that Rodri plays less minutes.

Until he signs for his new team? Arsenal probably getting the photoshopped pics ready now.

They’re all playing catch-up. City were way below the level for half a PL season and in the end we still won it with games to spare.

City can be even better, even more consistent across a whole season and that’s what frightens the cartel.

The part of that summation I don't understand would be that it may happen if Arsenal can't meet West Ham's demands. That'd be a weird one to me, as we don't seem to operate that way.

You may be right city may have already moved on by that point

Before Declan Rice Rejects Manchester City, He Should Think Of Harry Maguire — Forbes

if Rice is to truly assess what the best choice for him is, he should look at some of those who chose not to move to Manchester City too.

Good news story.

Can kind of understand why he would choose Arsenal, given what has happened with Phillips. But ANYONE choosing not to work for Pep and learn the game, is fucking dumb IMO.

Have Arsenal signed Prigozhin yet?

Players who have gone to other clubs have been better rewarded financially but have done poorly in football. Maguire, Sanchez, etc. Bellingham might be the first who wouldn't do too badly somewhere else. As long as Saka keeps playing the way he does, Rice would do well enough under Arteta.

Ignore him,clearly an attention seeking odd ball.

Dry your eyes and try not to be personal, it betrays your integrity. Oh and I am ignoring you as you have demonstrated your oddness
