Declan Rice

[SWP's back]

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

If Bernie leaves we will sign a winger (forward) I believe although it could give McAtee and/or Alvarez more game time.

At some point they’re both going to need it.

I’d much rather Bernie stay though.

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.

Will he tho? We have no idea what City may yet do especially with a 400+ mil war chest...

I’d test Madrid to see if Camavinga/Tchoumanei picks up the phone

 

[Bluearmy]

We have really good wingers in Mahrez, Silva and Jack if Phil ain’t central he can play wide. I think Oscar Bobb will be our back up.
Who are you thinking of?

My only concern is a lack of overall goals in the team/over reliance on Haaland.

Rodri/Kovacic/Phillips/Grealish/Bernardo/KDB hardly prolific…..

Ruining myths, getting people to shut up about grealish, and still being the best team in the world.

Genius from txiki

I’m about all in now that our bid for Rice was no more than a PR stunt, with some caveat’s. The caveat being if they accepted $90m we do it, but everyone knew that wasn’t happening.

Lol

We need to focus on other targets...I am sure City have a few options.

If we can somehow persuade him to stay, it would also mean a new deal. At 28, it would be his last peak deal, whether Pep is here or not.

Still think Saudi have a say in that :(

I don't believe for one nanosecond that Bernardo Silva is gonna sign a new contract at City. I think that he is either getting sold this summer or he walks on a free in 2 years because Pep convinces him to stay for 2 more to then be able to leave on a free.

Bit like Gundo, the longer it drags, the less sure I am that he stays. Soon as he knocks the Saudi offer back it'll be public. Fact he hasn't is a big worry. That's before we discuss PSG.

Brilliant headline, makes me kind of proud of city? We have our fundamentals and we must stick by them!

I said this yesterday. We only want players who want us, half arsed commitment doesn't win trophies.

In the unlikely event that nited enter the chase for Rice, all talk of him preferring to stay in London will disappear.
