Declan Rice

[Jesus H Gabz]

agreed mate, if there is ever a summer its now! Would hurt them bastards at the same time as well!

It’s definitely personal for the Arse, Edu Arteta & the Kranks are probably all sat round a table flapping, plotting, begging and more likely bidding against themselves, whereas we are calm & Peps passing the stoogies round

Hell it isn’t my money, spend it City. Let’s bring Rice in

can't elaborate too much as this is all i know at the moment but i know for a fact that Declan Rice was in a private Manchester hospital yesterday

Good man. Love things like this in the transfer forum. True or not? Who cares? It makes the whole thing tick :)

Don’t we have our own facilities on site these days? Also why travel to Manchester for one, surely we’d just do it in London and avoid posts like this on a public forum…. Not very smart by City if true. However, I suspect you’re taking a punt and hoping it comes off.

If Pep wants him, you pay it. If we hand Pep the exact squad he wants, who's to say he won't extend his contract again?

In the grand scheme of things, £15m is fuck all - Cancelo will give us that.

Breaking the record again is what is putting people off this now I think but I tend to agree.

£15m is a drop in the ocean considering the prize money for winning the PL. We could be regretting it in a years time if Rice is the catalyst for Arsenal beating us to the league this time around.

I dont like the way hes "open " to joining us. I want players here who are desperate to play for us

He probably is desperate to play for us, but he's right in not declaring that before joining

Isn't he on holiday?

This is a daft reply… Anyone saying go for FDJ or Mbappe clearly are not thinking right. It’s not about affording him (he has a £200m buy out) but it’s about his wages. FDJ is on something like £600k a week and Mbappe around £1m or so rumour dictates. There’s zero chance City pay those wages when I’m sure certain players have parity clauses in their contracts. It’s just not good business and despite both being fantastic players, both I see causing issues in the team dynamic. Purchase price is irrelevant, it’s the total package and age.

nailed on for rags then ;)

PSG got Neymar from Barcelona. If we don't try we will never ever know.

Who wouldn't want to join us? We are the Kings of Europe. Believe it.

So he can bring all his drama into our harmonious dressing room? No fucking thank you.

The main thing all of our players say about haaland is they have been pleasantly surprised by how humble and ego free he is. Mbappe is the complete opposite.

Just because you sign him on FIFA and his stats are higher than everyone else doesn't mean he'd be a good fit for our team. I honestly believe a big part of our sustained success under pep has been the ego free environment he's created. Until haaland our biggest talismans were kdb and Aguero - both of whom are famously low key and humble personalities. You want mbappe knocking on txiki's door every time pep does something he doesn't like? Or leaking to the press that haaland is getting preferential treatment and starting PR wars?

I wouldn't take him for free.

May god have mercy on your alert button if this doesn't go through.
