Declan Rice

I assume McAtee will take Palmers role in the squad, who seems to be going out on loan? Just my guess :)

Maybe to West Ham? ;-)

Hopefully it happens quick if we can get a deal agreed.

It’s going to get rejected but the best thing is that it’s our first bid for him.

Bid rejected according to John Percy at the Telegraph

If its true Pep asked the club specifically for Rice, Gvardiol and Kovacic then we are going to see something new from Pep again next season!

He’s certainly changed defensively last season, with 4 CB’s deployed at lot. Pep became more pragmatic and won the lot… i never thought we’d see that….

I wonder if we may see a stronger midfield next season to go with the defensive strengthening this season. Its possibly looking that way….

Unless he wants to come here I don't understand bldding for him at all. Feels like we're being used as leverage.

How many times will people write this?

You forgot about Akanji, and his ability to play across the back 4, though :). We're all good.

Oops so i did. Teach me to post before coffee ;)

Post changed

Well KDB will be a year older again and maybe will need to be used more sparingly?

You know it’s over when….

Thought the rags had 150 mill to spend can't see them spunking 100 on one player to be honest

 

[Keeper!]

Palmer maybe? Borges?

Phillips, trust Big Fat Sam ;)

He’s the one I want for CB to partner Laporte.

Pep would make him a monster.
