Declan Rice

[Phil1]

Or it's just the next elaborate way to create another thing to investigate us for...collusion...
Evidence? ...because Eni Aluko suggested it and that's what it looks like...

Anybody who thinks what came out of her mouth has even the tiniest grain of truth attached should be immediately sectioned.
It baffles me how some people’s minds work.
In what way has it been proved she was right?
Lunatics have taken over the asylum (transfer forum but same thing...)

How do you know we aren’t in the same scenario right now? Remains to be seen how well the club has handled this situation. If Plan C is signing a very raw player from Celto de Vigo I can’t say that fills me with a tone of confidence.

Gomez was bought at the last minute. We're not even in July yet mate, so there's time to comb through our scouting reports & make the right choice.

Last summer we had two last minute buys. Gomez hasn't worked out "yet", but as for £15m for my player of the season, Akanji? :-)

If the opinion in here on Rice is anything to go on then he certainly has split the vote. The club is allowed to miss out on players. We can only judge the team once next season is upon us.

We all agree that some areas need looked at. Bellingham and rice both would have solved some problems. Players should want to be here and I didn’t get that vibe from Bellingham or rice compared to say Haaland.

I think we will be in for a few surprises before the season starts. I would love another Alvarez type signing.

Declan Rice is full of energy and aggression but still a younger version of Jordan Henderson imo

I would of had him but not at anywhere near a £100,000,000

All very well but it negates the ‘City won’t pay above valuation/worth’ strategy, surely?

Maybe we thought he was worth the fee? Crazy eh..

At least they can’t say we’ve paid the most for an English player now. Although I noted the bbc saying it’s the same as Grealish although a paragraph late added there was £5million add ons.

they might never pay add ons just so they can berate grealish

I don’t disagree that there is time, and we need to wait and see what the clubs list looks like.

Transfer forum is just another name of match day thread.

Did City really want him?

The reason I ask is that City obviously have a valuation they will not go beyond for a particular player, right?

So, why did City pay £100M 2 years ago for Jack?

I know it was his release clause but as good as Jack is now he was way overvalued at £100M 2 years ago but City paid it because they wanted him.

Something to ponder?

Not sure what your point is, we don't know what over our valuation was for Grealish, wasn't £100 mill or else we wouldn't have bought him. Where is seems £100 mill for Rice was over our valuation so we didn't go higher than our first bid of £90 mill.

Oh do fuck off!

As if that was the reason why City bid.

Correct about braindead and clueless.
