Exactly my thoughts!
Why they have to keep telling us Arsenal are favorite's in what is a one horse race at current I'll never know.
not my fault!

West Ham Twitter or do you mean West Ham fan Twitter accounts? If West Ham are officially saying that then why are we even discussing it? Surely he’d be there shirt in hand already, no?
It’s ALL guesswork at present, the only person who knows exactly what’s going on in Rices head at present is Rice! My points are the idea he only wants London is laughable, he’ll go where the money is and where he’s most likely to win trophies and that’s currently City. It won’t always be I acknowledge, but currently it’s the no1 club to be at. Rice isn’t stupid like Kane, he’ll know which club represents the best option for his family and it’ll not be about house choices or location.
if… and I mean a huge IF…it comes down to houses etc then for £5m he could own a stupidly large house in Cheshire with huge grounds that’d cost him 4x the price in London. He'd have access to some of the best private schools for any children, his wife could shop to her hearts content in multiple areas not just the City centre.
So, as I say, if City are being encouraged he’s interested and we want him then he’s ours! I suspect however that Arsenal will play the “he’s joined City because we couldn’t compete with wages” or “he’s joined us but was offered more by other clubs” yadda yadda yadda.

Only 2 reasons to choose Arsenal over us is being guaranteed starter and staying in London.
We are as close to guaranteed trophies as you can get. We can offer better money, we have the best manager, better coaches, better backroom and board, better facilities, best players to play alongside and learn from, everyone of which gets along with each other ... And isn't his best mate moving up here?

He doesn't even live in London he live in Surrey (Kingston upon Thames)

Meh they all speak cocinese
Think it's a game being played out by both sides. Who is leaking that West Ham were expecting bids by at least 2 other clubs last week, that wasn't Arsenal.
Honestly, i remain to be convinced we'll offer what is actually acceptable to West Ham in teerms of up front fee & instalments. Maybe we will and are just trying to get as good a deal as we can for ourselves to allow us to make other signings, i don't know. I much preferred when the first you heard about these signings were on teletext or the back of a newspaper.
Sorry, West Ham itk's. There's been an official from Bayern quoted as saying they haven't bid because they've heard he's going to be an Arsenal player by July 1st as well.
I agree with you, it's all guesswork, and i'm not as confident as Humbled (i never am, somewhat ironically with his username). I do believe Arsenal are his first choice because there's too much noise saying so, but if we can't get an agreement and City do, i think all bets could be off, but that's guesswork from me as well.
