Declan Rice

Nonsense, we look after ourselves and have no concern at what others do. We bid because we want him simple as that.

If you believe that, then no problem.

Have west ham and the spurs ever done business together? Would love to be a fly on the wall there.

Yep

I have to admit that I've not seen much of Rice or for that matter Kalvin either.
But before we bought him he did seem to have a pass on him, which I'm not sure Declan does.

Oh do fuck off. We signed him for £42M+. How’s his value gone down after a year with the treble winners? £50M plus Phillips is more than enough.

His value has gone down because he's done the sum total of fuck all. Don't be disingenuous by associating our treble win with Phillips, without him we would still have won all three trophies; he contributed nothing. He's probably worth 30m max in the current market. 50m + Phillips is risible.

He's a lovely bloke, but just not good enough for us.

We carried Mangala for years and wasted a lot more money that we would if we offload Phillips this summer.

As a current England International, Phillips must be valued somewhere near what we paid for him, say £30/35m. Not a great financial loss, and probably worth it if it gets the Rice deal over the line.

FWIW, I don't personally think Phillips will leave City this summer.

No matter what we put in front of him, he'll still choose Arsenal
