Declan Rice

[Brightwell Bros.]

Did people on here get their knickers in a twist when we walked away from Maguire, Sancho, Sanchez, Ronaldo etc etc?

Hahaha, yes, yes they did.

Why does it matter? For the sake of one emailed bid we’ve made arse pay an additional £15mil. What’s not to like?

What's to like? We've missed out on a player we wanted, what difference does it make how much arsenal have spent on him? Unless you think we bid ~90m for a player we weren't actually interested in? If we knew West Ham's resolve and set price we should never have got involved.

They're not in the same league as us. They'll be nowhere near us next season.

All that money wasted if they dont challenge

City were already short in midfield this season, as reported, Pep wanted more depth.

Isn’t Macatee staying with us? Gvadiol will need plenty of game time. So lots of Stones in midfield.

Or we have a list of targets and money we want to spend and like normal we know what we’re doing.

Pulling out if the Cucarella deal which looked a bit of a disaster at the time doesn’t look too bad now does it?

 

[Jokithedruid]

Going on a nidingsdåd war with one of the red shirts always ends up in them over paying. Van dijk, maguire and now rice…

Oh well, let the have him then, pep will have to find a way with what we have.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Maybe Arsenal do their medicals in Manchester now.

I would have thought the next step would be them changing the colour of their kit or Arteta shaving his hair off but I'm still flattered.

 

[decmancity]

No chance city got involved just to up the price on rice of 15 million

Not initially no, but its a nice bonus.

We put a bid in because we value Rice at that price. We thought the better payment plan might get West Ham interested but clearly not. So we move on.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Lose Bernardo to PSG now would be devastating

 

[Haaland94]

kovacic and gvardiol will be a very disappointing window if we let bernardo leave as well...

Apparently, there is a good chance he stays, though.

 

[ReeceMx1997]

We need to go for Valverde saw on Twitter Real would accept 90 million euros. I think he is twice the player Declan Rice is plus can slot in for Bernando from time to time if he stays no-brainer. If not Valverde get Barella.
