Think Rice will most likely be a City player. Our first bid is close to their asking price, West Hams chairman confirmed publicly the player is being sold this summer (unlike the Kane saga 2 years ago), the only other club trying to sign him is Arsenal so no real competition (no sane person would choose Arsenal ahead of City, any reports saying otherwise is just PR spin).
Cant really see us miss out on this one, reckon it will get done at something like 85+15 so West Ham can say they got their 100m (inc add ons).
Personally I dont really like the signing and fear Rice could be a massive flop, but I would obviously give him a chance and hope Pep can work his magic. And short term it would be fun to watch the Arsenal meltdown!
