Why would Phillips know if City were talking to West Ham yesterday as TH states?

Players often talk about themselves but hardly ever know about the current state of negotiations regarding other player.

Doesn’t mean Rice will not leave for Arsenal but if TH says we are still talking I don’t think I’d be asking him to check his sources.

I don’t know. Non of this relates to either of my posts and I am not going to speculate on these points

But the downside would be setting a higher bar in the market we still need to buy in. There is zero chance we share our negotiating strategy with a journalist to reveal to those who we will be negotiating with. Zero. We may have been interested in Rice but already walked away based on price or be be still in the mix but we would not be briefing journalists as both the selling club and the player will be clear about what’s on offer.

I didn’t say the club had shared that as its strategy. I said it was a journalists view and it made sense to me. Please don’t read things in to the post that have not been stated

Believe what you want mate- not that arsed. What Kalvin told me he has literally said to the press on countless occasions in the last weeks !? Why on earth would I not share it when it’s literally public knowledge. Pep was a key factor in us signing Phillips- of course he rates him you pillock. He’s struggled in his first 12 months but has been a key figure behind the scenes for team morale and is actually well liked by all the players and Pep and his coaching team. We will see a different player next year.

Don't doubt your info 100 per cent for a second, bud.

Things have moved very quickly in the last couple of days, however.

He has spoken to a couple of people and the landscape may well have changed.

City won't push him out the door, but he's also be informed that they will not stand in his way and he now has a couple of serious offers to digest.

Well aware what might be right on Monday could be entirely different by Tuesday.

No doubt he doesn't want to throw the towel in, but he's now mulling over some concrete stuff.

I don't think it's cut and dried he stays, even if it's not West Ham.

I'm going to take a guess that one of those offers is Bayern? He was linked a couple days ago
 
Just saw the report that Chelsea will not pay the 80m for Caicedo from Brighton. I do think he'd be a good alternative to Rice. Can play in defense as in midfield. BUT there is probably a reason only Chelsea and the rags are sniffin.
