Declan Rice

[Thaksinssoldier]

90 mil and Cole Palmer with a buy back I reckon.

Confess, you've been waiting for the moment to use that haven't you?

Maybe :P

He actually sang it on A League of Their Own.

I don't think rice is a £100 million player in general tbh but I especially don't think he is a £100 million player to us in that I don't think he's going to be pivotal to our side. Also a bit skeptical of how creative we will be if we've got rodri, rice and stones in midfield ahead of a back 3 and no fullbacks. that puts a hefty amount of pressure on kdb or whoever is the other most advanced midfielder to be the main creator.

He does have all the base ingredients for a top player and is young enough for pep to mould him into that and I would really really love to see the arsenal fans reaction if we gazump them and prevent them from strengthening significantly, that alone is worth the asking price in my eyes. If we sign him, great, trust the plan pep and txiki have in place, if we don't though it's not something i think we will rue.

I don’t think Arsenal will bid again. It’s over for them and they will know this.

Watch them start being linked to Caicedo again.

Hold on hold on,when are the rags putting their bid in probably be 8 or 9 players and £80mill..

 

[Didsbury Dave]

don't want a bidding war here tbh.

I don’t think there is one. We never do bidding wars. We do a deal with the player first. I think we are the only game in town now.

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

One less red top to listen then.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Moving Phillips on. Any buyer might very reluctant in paying his current salary and West Ham might not be too keen on that deal.

Any time we move a player out we take some form of hit on the fee due to their wages, nothing new.

They messed that one up the first time
