Declan Rice

Garcia…..makes me shiver

Is he still at Barcelona.
I'd forgotten all about him

 

[Chi-town blues]

Have we actually made an official bid?

No but it’s simmering on low heat.

City 2/1 Arsenal odds on,don't think we we're ever in for him.

We wouldn’t be 2/1 if we were never even in for him.

How difficult is it now for players when they let their family be their agents. Because most of these players agents (Rice or Kane) won’t have any experience of an actual transfer as many agents will have. So does that just make the transfer 10x more difficult because that will be the first time they get into talking to other clubs?

Oh God, has Rice got his dad as his agent or something? If so, he's going down in my estimation for that alone. Absolutely stupid.

Not really bothered if we sign him or not.
Our second or third choices have worked out well in the past.
However we should be sticking a bid in if only to drive the price up for the arse.

Thank you for valuable insight on how we should chase away a player we spent a significant outlay only last year because someone's wandering eyes happen to fall on the same new bling the Tarquins want.

Nope. Not particularly bothered about Rice. Think Pep could do a good with him but he isn't high on my wanted list. We've won it all, I'm past caring.

Was more talking about his own career.

Dammit. No laughing emoji

Ake made just 13 appearances in his debut season. Fewer than Mendy, Zinchenko and Ferran Torres. Eric García made 20 the season before.

True, so there is a precedent but his "almost getting it" quote last week worried me

Pleased someone else noticed that - last sentence.
