Declan Rice

[Leeky]

The thing is though he will make a fairly reasonable post and half the board gets wildly offended and calls him a **** and says fuck off for no reason. Certain City fans have become hyper sensitive with success. It's gotten so opposition fans can't even come on here and offer a perspective, makes the board a poorer place.

They come on here with arrogance when it was going well pretending to be all nice, they will then take quotes from the forum and post it on their own taking the piss and telling how we’re turning on our own team, just so they can laugh at our misfortune. But what they don’t take into account the season is 38 games long and don’t expect us to go on a long running streak, then you don’t hear fuck all from them until they may buy Rice or not. The next thing they will say if City buy Rice there next target was the better option and the Oil cheating bastards have spunked 100 million pounds on a shit player or if Arsenal end up with Rice he’s the best player ever.

Rico Lewis is 18 and he's played there.

Good point. Rico seems to be very very special then ;)

This has become waaay too complicated. If the success relies on Phillips going then I’m calling it. I can’t see how we’ll get all the ducks in a row.

Duck 1 - Rice agrees to join City. Duck 2 - Phillips agrees to join West Ham. Duck 3 - Clubs agree the fees. Hardly rocket science.

Tricky subject to get into, really. Is Real's history all those European Cups or is it being bankrolled by a fascist dictator? For Arsenal, is it those titles in the 30's, or the wonderful football they initially played under Wenger or is it how they got back into the league controversially or George Graham's dodgy deals or them taking 'oil money' for sponsorship a long time before we did?

If history is based on when things were done i.e. the older the better the does it mean we should want the best players to go to the teams who used to win stuff, not just the ones who've recently won stuff? If so, should Rice go to Arsenal, or should he choose say Preston or Blackburn. Or should he even choose City, since we won a cup a generation before Arsenal did?

All becomes very confusing if you want to discuss history...

We don’t have any mate remember, it’s been drummed into the sheep that City are a third division club , our history means nothing pre 1992 , none of the “big” clubs had to endure Swales and what happened after him for over 20 bleeding years , we were on the cusp mid seventies and on , when the likes of Barnes and Owen were shifted out because shredded wheat head fucked us financially bringing big Malc back , you only have to look at our attendances mid to late seventies to see how big a club we were , and the season we came back after Luton when we averaged more than darling fucking Arsenal. Our club got forgotten about , well they fucking know now don’t they , enjoy their tears, the cunts.

Si; what's the general feeling on here? That he's going to Arsenal?

 

[manimanc]

We aren’t. I’ve been told today from a very reliable source at City that he’s going to Arsenal.

Good news on Gvardiol though.

I wouldn't mind but you started this thread :)

 

[JewelZee]

What would the offer be if Kalvin says yes to West ham, would it be 70 mil plus Phillips or will they ask for more.

More?

 

[Cityinmud]

I don't think this is the same rory.

Yep right. My bad. don't even know who this one is.

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Someone better tell City, they have been speaking to West Ham today.

Not sure who’s briefed you that mate but I can categorically guarantee that we won’t be firming up our very clear interest. That’s come from somebody today at the club that is ‘in the know’ and a close mate I trust implicitly.

Yes.
