We know he wants to come!

Unless Arsenal try to bluff it out now and go above £100m, we should be able to get it sorted before weekend is done :)

Arsenal now know Rice's position.

They have been utilising a PR company for months trying to drip feed how he only wanted them.

Well sky this morning it’s all about he wants to stay in London he only wants Arsenal! So that pr company must be in the ear of those sky no nought’s
 
Fwiw I don't actually think Sullivan is creating a bidding war, as such.

They seem to have been clear that £100m is their valuation and they're sticking to their guns - exactly the same as we are with Bernardo. Bid under the valuation and it's won't be considered, end of.

How that £100m is broken down I'm sure is open for negotiation but he's their player, that's what they want and they've been clear so I don't have a problem with it tbh.
 
If we sign him, it could be a monkey off Grealish’ back too… no longer the most expensive British player. The media can stop throwing it at him in every interview.
Jack has paid that fee back in trophies. No one can doubt the transfer now. Well maybe idiots in the media but sure who cares they have been broken.
 
I’d imagine, based on logic, that rather than upping any bid City would just increase the bonus’ payments from £10m to £20m but have it based on winning a set number of trophies rather than just winning any if that makes sense. Costs us very little more but spreads our commitment out even further in to the future, if we achieve the set goals the money we’d make in prize rewards far exceeds our outlay.

Yep fully agree but it’s a stat they love to throw in when interviewing him. Be nice for him to not have that every week, Rice can now for a bit instead.
 
Ours are the better terms, but highly unlikely us or Arsenal don't try to improve them.

West Ham are already on record saying Declan is leaving, which was Sullivan's first mistake.
I said this a few days ago, he played his hand far too early and therefore limited what teams would pay them knowing he’s off regardless.
 
Think we've got him!!
