Declan Rice

[Gumzy97]

Interesting, plus a journalist saying another club is about to bid in the next 24 hours for Rice.

 

[Ninferno]

Good move. If we get him, great! If we don't get him but our bid causes a bigger hole in Arsenal's pocket? Not bad either.

 

[bertholddirke]

If we can move Phillips and get Rice, that would be 1 stone for 2 birds

The part about “bid in the next 24 hours” to me says this is possibly all from WHU side to get Arsenal worried enough to raise bid.

i assume we have had the nod he would move to us as well otherwise we wouldnt bid?

not sure that clubs really fall for that mate? Personally, i think they would rather sell to us and we have more than the arse can offer them? I also dont believe this would even be being discussed unless Rice has given us the thumbs up he fancies it?

I can't pretend to be overly excited (or to a lesser extent impressed either) with the link or the move but as we are treble winners and looking at options then fair enough bring him in. I prefer to give Stones an extended run and perhaps bring in an extra Centre Back if we are going down that route. Maybe give Kalvin Phillips a clean slate as well.

 

[Blue Calx]

Cant see Rice and Phillips in the same squad with Rodders as the main man.I suppose we wont know until Gundo has made his mind up.

I think he'd be a perfect City player not only the obvious talent but also the personality.

Very versatile, could play the John Stones role and can also under peps guidance offer a lot more going forward (
ala Yaya)

Imagine going into Spurs/ Liverpool away then Madrid/ Barca in the CL with

Rodri....Rice
.....KDB

Solid.

 

[Blueroses]

why do we need him for? too expensive to backup rodri

With Haaland here to stay we need extra man in midfield as build up play not his strength ..yet.

 

[Blueroses]

Rodri Rice/Stones
Gvardiol/Ake Dias Stones/Akanji

That's an unbelievable back 5.

defence is best form of attack.

Yaya is is favorite player from what I read.

So when Rodri needs a rest, or heaven forbid gets injured? Also they are very capable of playing in the same team

Rice would also make sense if real wants to replace tchouameni with rodri

 

[not my fault!]

City are not selling Rodri to Real lol.

They can have Bernie for a good price if they want another Midfielder. Failing that there is always Declan Rice to make it an English midfield double.
