Declan Rice

[Dobsy]

Still struggling to believe this one will happen just because we have Rodri, but for us to have properly bid at all is a big deal. We know the way the club execs operate is to check with the player's camp first.

Pep has always been complimentary about Rice so doesnt surprise a bid has gone in.

Is funny how the Arsenal fan meltdown has already started.

When they lowballed their first 2 offers it was ‘negotiation tactics’ now City’s offer is in and I’m seeing ‘they won’t accept that & Arsenal will top that’

We know City won’t engage in a bidding war (although that’s exactly what West Ham want) and must have an indication that he wants City.

For all we know City (as usual) have their own valuation and like the Grealish transfer opportunities like this don`t come along every window.
IMO perhaps the £100M plus add ons could be a realistic figure by Txiki and the boys. ;)

Somethings changed today. Very interesting.

Wonder if it's linked at all to Bernardo's future. If there's been a change and no Phillips mentioned in deal...would add up.

I can’t see city wanting to get into a bidding war with arsenal- not really our style!

 

[Blue and true]

Not a chance Phillips survives if we finalise this deal. I like the lad, but Rice is infinitely better.

I don't think we get in this race to lose.

We're getting our man.

 

[Manx Blue]

Can you hear that?

Off in the distance?

It's the growing sound of

PISS

COMING

TO

THE

BOIL!

Its Pep...He played a CB in midfield. Declan is going to be a striker for us
