Declan Rice

It may be your reality but it isn’t mine. He’s a decent player but hardly in the top 10 or 20 midfielders in the premier league in my view

In that case, we disagree, and I would definitely be happy to have him here. In what he does, breaking up play, winning it and giving it, and being able to break through the lines, I would firmly place him in the top ten, and that's without the possession that a top club, and top coaching brings.

Why all the negativity in here?
Has he actually said he's not coming or is just fanny flapping and conjecture?

Piss poor to allow Gundo some time to decide his future after what he has done for city? This is an embarrassing view. Fuck sake have abit of respect. We don’t treat players like crap and long may it continue. If future transfers can’t wait to see if city are interested then fuck them. We are offering the best of the best in terms of a trainer and facilities alongside a nice wedge. Any player that don’t view it that way is welcome to walk on.

Exactly! I loved Pep’s comment that if Gundo goes to Barca he should have fun.

We are not like other clubs and we have class in not holding players hostage. Everyone is free to go. This model works tbh because we have best players signed and there is a team who would love to have them.

Flapping and conjecture based on fifteen-year-olds, with their trousers around their ankles, posting their inside information on social media.

I like Rice, he seems like a good lad and he'd do well for us, but I don't think he's a once in a lifetime generational player that we need to be all in for as we were with Haaland. I'd also be fascinated to see whether he can do it at the highest of levels with Arsenal. If he wants to come to us great but I won't be losing too much sleep if he doesn't. There will equally good options and better value elsewhere.

Soooo overrated he's a souped up Jordan Henderson and I'm being polite

Declan Rice not in the top 20 in the Premier League? Your knowledge of football is right up there with mine on Astro physics

I can agree to disagree, it’s about opinions and I respect yours. Here’s hoping that we whoever we sign is a success.

Just putting together the fact that most journalists are leading today with rice prefers arsenal. We’ve heard we are interested from people on here and other journalists. A bid was supposed to be imminent but hasn’t arrived West Ham side again according to West Ham journalists and city journalists and some ‘ITK’ on here. We haven’t distanced ourselves cuz it may still happen if arsenal can’t meet West Ham’s demands.

I could be completely wrong but it sounds the most logical explanation no? If we don’t trust what any of these journalists are saying what’s the point of this thread- we may as well just wait for official club announcements?

The last part, "we haven't distance ourselves cuz it may still happen if arsenal can't meet West Ham's demands" sounds completely unrealistic. No way in hell we City are sitting around like idiots waiting to see if we can maybe sign him "if his first choice arsenal" can strike a deal or not. We are Man f*cking City, the best team in the world, we are not gonna behave the way clubs like Villa, West Ham etc do, sitting around waiting to see if its anything left when the big6 clubs have had their pick.
