Don’t believe this pantomime. If what Tolm said is correct and we have had Rice on our radar for a good few months, surely we would have sounded Rice out via his agent? Either we aren’t really interested or these prefer to stay in London stories are bollocks.

I wouldn't say that. There's quite a few including myself that are happy for arsenal to piss their budget away on Rice and Havertz.

We already tried the overrated England midfielder last summer. Madness for us to spend over double that and have another punt this year.

Its not all our budget. Stan Kroenke owns us but Josh Kroenke his son has taken over as the de-facto owner. Stan is married to Anne Walton, with Anne being Josh's mother. Anne Walton is member of the Walton family who own 51% of Walmart stock which is currently worth over 240 billion USD. We are de-facto owned by the richest family in the world (private enterprise). Type 'richest family in the world' into google and you get the Waltons looking back at you

Ever since the Kroenke's completed a full take over we have spent solid sums. No one initially noticed because we spent 72m on Pepe, gave Amumayang 350k a week and Ozil 300k a week. But in recent years we have been getting it right with our spending, and also paying unwanted players to leave, while fending off real interest in Saliba, Saka and Martinelli are giving each a 200,300,200k a week wage respectively - you watch, Odegaard will sign next. Now were offering 100m for Rice.

Most people are stuck in 2012 with regards to our ownership. They still think being owned by the Kroenke's is a bad thing, when in actual fact they were bad owners when they owned only a portion of the club. However as mentioned, ever since the full takeover we have been ramping up the spending.

Ruining football with your richest family in the world owners. It’s just not fair. There should be rules in place to stop clubs throwing their financial weight around. At least we won the treble as an organic club without relying on a sugar daddy.

Rice grew up in London his whole life, likewise his missus, they have a newborn and their entire family structure is in London. This is a huge factor in the Rice saga, probably the most important element in choosing his next club. So many pundits look at the situation through the prism of Rice as a footballer only, rather than an actual person. Doesn't surprise me at all he would stay at West Ham before considering a move to Man City. Rice may as well be the Old Bailey, guy isn't leaving the capital.

Still hurting?

Aaaah that great school playground debate, Rice or Sago?

Update from EXWHUemployee:
He says despite Man City’s interest Rice would be more likely to stay at West Ham if a deal can’t be agreed.

Daaamn son, Anne Walton's aura must be so massive that even West Ham players don't want to leave too far north from her wealthy charms.

Rice has made it clear that his chosen destination is Arsenal. The two clubs are negotiating and West Ham due to FFP want more upfront. He says despite Man City’s interest Rice would be more likely to stay at West Ham if a deal can’t be agreed.

Who ?
 
I’d like Rice here but I’m certainly not going to lose any sleep if he goes elsewhere (same with Bellingham).

Looks like Bernardo is off but that Gundo will stay, I’d love to add Lavia into the mix with Kovacic.

Rodri
Lavia
Kovacic
Gundogan
KDB

Looks good to me. Phillips more than welcome to stay and fight but can’t see it and think he’ll be off.

It’s got everything that midfield and plenty of options for rotation too.

I’m torn about Phillips. He got the square root of zero in terms of minutes and heard Pep fell out with him over returning back from the World Cup overweight. But looking at the behind the scenes footage of celebrations, he seems part of the squad in every other way. It wouldn’t be the first time a Pep signing blossomed in season 2 after disappointing in season 1 but it would certainly be the biggest turnaround of them all.

So you are bragging about your owner’s mom wealth and her family ? Stan is worth 12.9 billion , rags spend 1 billion just to put things in perspective.

But it's irrelevant. Newcastle are now owned by a Saudi who's one of the richest men on the planet but they still can't buy whoever they like. You'd be in a better position if you'd won a bit more prize money last season.

Phillips performance with the mic at the parade opened my eyes to what an integral part of the squad he is
