Declan Rice

[Brightwell Bros.]

You don’t spent £90m on a back up. We found a new system and now pep has identified the players he needs to utilise it. Can’t wait !

Yes, putting Rice to one side for a second, Pep clearly thinks there's another season or two in the space through the middle of the park. Wings to slow the game down, a box to box where Stones, Rodri and another midfielder can swap between themselves.

We've sat down and spoke to them. We've been told his preferred club is arsenal. Surely we don't put in a bid and embarrass ourselves if we don't think we're gonna get him?

All seriousness, he needs to look at the history of players who we have been seriously in for that have chosen someone else over us.... Maguire, Fred, Sanchez, Ronaldo. Its not worked out for any of them. Has there been a player who has turned us down and gone on to do good things?

My Arsenal-supporting mate says he's done with football if we get Rice lmao

Well if Arsenal get Rice, I wont be done with football and neither will my wife.

Bet Sullivan can’t believe his luck. Be interesting how high we are prepared to go. Despite what other football fans think city will not go over what they perceive to be his worth. I fancy arsenal will overpay to ensure they get the deal done

Interested to see if they do- already spent on Havertz and Timber

Big meanie City...Why wont they let us have our man

The problem with swapping is wages. Phillips must be on a fair wedge at City.

We won’t back out or walk away now. We want Rice. Does Rice want us?

 

[Rammy Blue]

I don’t think we’d be bidding if we didn't know Phillips was heading out of the door, to West Ham or anywhere else.

 

[lol yank]

It’s now up to Arsenal to make a 3rd and final bid and blow City out of the water. The pressure is on Arsenal. Bid £100mill or walk away. Knowing City will better a 3rd Arsenal bid.

We call this price enforcing. Keeping everyone honest. They want the crown they better come correct.
