Declan Rice

[Mancity0303]

Another report from this guy

 

[kun]

Id like to see us add a player or two that has an eye for goal, Kovacic an Rice are poor in that respect. Grealish needs to chip in much more too.

Put it this way:

Rice has 10 goals in his last 2 seasons.
Gündogan scored just 6 in the 2 seasons before we signed him.
Rice was playing in the PL - and in a more defensive position.

Think this gets done

Mcfc willing to anticipate arsenal? What does that even mean? Anyone?

It means are they going to blow it like they did with the league.


I think :)

I'm assuming this is an Italian translation thing. I took it as getting the jump on Arsenal

They know arsenal will retaliate with bids and aren’t daft enough to think it’s a one horse race

 

[meeesh]

The main stumbling block for those who want Rice is not the fee or the wages but does Rice himself think he is good enough to play in our first team on a regular basis.

He knows he's better than bottom half of the prem(no offence to west ham it's currently where they are) he is probably confident enough for a team fighting for top 4. But we are currently a big step up.

It's down to his own confidence more that anything else. Fear of failure could play a part.

You could attach that to a lot on twitter.

 

[hello]

Just had a long call with my West Ham supporting boss, was supposed to be a customer call but they didn't show up so it turned to football. Unsurprisingly his view is resigned to him going and would much prefer he goes to city over a london rival they've been competing with in recent seasons. Anyhow the interesting aspect he talked about was Rice's lack of bravery when passing near his own goal. Its nearly always backwards sideways or hoof. However he reckons when he does venture forward he's a very good forward passer and thinks he would develop massively under pep and playing here the dynamism and fluidity of players switching positions would suit him. I am guessing like me most of us only really see him when we play them or England games following waistcoat wankers ultra defensive approach so box him as a pure CDM so thought I'ld share the thoughts of someone that's been watching him home & away for the last 6 years.

Yeah, definitely exciting. Rodri being given a licence to get forward more could be interesting. He's got a hell of a shot on him and the space created by teams trying to close him down would free up additional space for our attackers.

Rodders becoming our next Yaya.
Let's hope we don’t forget his birthday

Rodri most definitely isnt high maintenance,by all accounts he's one of the most grounded players in the game.

Mr Kiplings not required for this fella!

Yep,one step ahead.

People going on about bids not going in. We are a club who aren’t going to disrespect West Ham by going lower than what they want, we are going to discuss what’s going to be acceptable to them and work from there.

I think one or two posters are coming across as being a bit entitled here.
Absolutely nothing wrong with Rice wanting to stay in London.
Also Arsenal do have a bit of pull albeit they are not treble winners.
12 years ago we sold a plan to several very good players despite having won fuck all for decades. They could have gone elsewhere but became legends of our club.
If Rice comes to us and we continue to win things he will be in a long line of latter-day heroes.
If he goes to Arsenal and wins the League he'll be a legend there.

 

[SkyBlueCanuck]

I'm not going to be on the edge of my seat waiting for this one.

If West Ham is potentially considering City players offered in a swap or partial swap, then there's enough moving parts to keep this from being completed for a few weeks.

 

[LongsightM13]

If united offered £60m plus Harry Maguire then that means they value Rice at £40m…

It’s sad but I don’t want us to become
Out of touch and remember where we came from. Leave that attitude with the entiled fans like man united and arsenal.
