I think that's an indication that they do actually have a limit on what they will spend this window.

If Rice was no.1 why not show your commitment to him, stop being skin flints ? Why the courting of Havertz ?

If I was Rice I'd be waiting for a City move as it's clear that Pep thinks he's "an exceptional player" :-)

They don't have a #1. They need to bolster the whole squad. No one player would do that. That's understandable.

Philips wants to stay and fight for his place, yeah he know he will get heavy competition but i respect his willingness to have this kind of mentality we should see what happen next season.

Latest quotes suggest he won’t speak to pep until pre season. Wants to fight, thinks he is close to turning the corner. Looks to me like we will miss out on rice due to player departures. The club made a decision on Phillips and he has obviously not got the memo from pep to go.

With Kova coming in we don’t have the space. Gundo goes we lose a lot of creativity and more importantly a big game player.

Philips did say he will only make a decision to go if pep says he won’t play.

Stick or twist. Or buy rice and then sell Phillips. It would be a brutal move.

I’ve been seeing that many West Ham fans want Borges. However I know West Ham will want a straight replacement for rice so they will want Phillips as their first choice if they were to have a deal with City.

Fortune favours the bold buy Rice then sell Phillips. For FFS we are the best team in Europe if not the world we don’t need to spend another season seeing if he comes good. He should go and enjoy playing every game at West Ham

Zinchenko is forced himself to stay fighting for his place and refused to be sell despite our club is willing to sell him and Pep doesn't really need him in his first few season in City. Pep impressed by Zinchenko attitude and give him a chance playing for us several season as squad player until he quits and joined Arsenal last summer.

If Pep can give a chance for someone like Zinchenko why he can't for Philips?, not saying he will definitely give Philips a chance but i will not ruling out for Pep to give Philips another chance next season.
 
West Hams options are either costing too much or moving elsewhere. Would be interesting to see if they are somewhat forced to look at Phillips seriously

Gamesmanship by West Ham. The Phillips + cash for Rice deal has mountains between it. One, Phillip has given strong indication he doesn't want to leave Manchester. Equally strong indication Rice doesn't want to leave London, and this would have been solidified by the arrival of his newborn a few months ago. I can just imagine his chav missus insisting on a London stay. ''No Deccy no, Manchester dont have a harrods''

How many more days can pass without you making a bid before it becomes obvious to all that West Ham are telling a story. 'bidding war' the Hammer say. BS, Chelsea have moved on, United moved on, and I dont think you guys are interested, a combination of Rice not being a necessity and the fact there is a real belief Rice desire to remain in London is very real, whilst your makeweight also doesn't want to leave. 'Rice would be crazy not to want to move to Man City'. Well then why would Kalvin leave? Because he wants to play more and be a more integral member of the squad............can say the same about Rice & Arsenal.

If we follow up with a 101m bid, it will likely be the biggest offer West Ham get for Rice. Im talking real terms too. Not a hypothetical 110m offer, comprising 60m cash & Kalvin valued internally by City at 50m.

Any chance you can post that shite on an Arsenal forum? None of what you posted relates to us. You can bid 75m plus add-ons or dip into the Asda money and bid £101m… either way, I couldn’t give a shit.

I don’t want Gundogan to go but Rice would soften the blow.

Just out of curiosity, can you tell me one aspect of Gundo's game that Rice can replace in potential move to us. I see none. Phillips before injury when playing under Bielsa was more complete player than Rice. Even Pep said when it comes to vision and through balls Kalvin has advantage over Rodri. English media needed an English player to have daily stories about him, as Mount faded away, Rice took his place. It is preposterous how much over-hyped he is, particularly after winning that stupid Europa conference. Where are these stories coming from, 100+ mil player, and suddenly we need him!
