Declan Rice

I couldn’t believe how pissed he was at the parade. Absolutely baffling.

The opposite of imposter syndrome

Didn’t Philips turn up to pre season training over weight last season? Apparently pep was far From impressed! First impressions and all that

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

Fair enough but it makes zero sense. Would suggest the exact opposite as a strategy makes more sense, let Arsenal think we won’t go that high and get the deal done before they can up their offer. Bottom line I think both clubs know what West Ham want and they can sit back and wait if Rice is happy to go to either until one club walks away. Personally think it’s more likely we walk unless we include Phillips as we have done before and a) would need to convince Phillips and b) tend to move on quickly if deal overpriced

Wasn't pre-season, was after the World Cup

Got a mate at West Ham. He told me Rice to Arsenal is being delayed because he wants a clause in his contract that he can leave if City come in for him. ;-)

After the world cup i think

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 players.

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

His agent would be privy to information if it was a swap + cash deal. I think Phillips has spoken to West Ham too, as he’s part of the deal he’ll know what’s going on.

Right. Well if a player pisses off the boss man it normally only ends one way

Monday 12th- Manchester.

Unless it was in the morning I don't think Phillips would have a clue what planet he was on after celebrating forefront his pivitol role in the treble

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

Doesn’t matter. They’re both a pair of know nowt knobheads
