Declan Rice

[manimanc]

I think this is all done and dusted.
I think it's a case of getting kovacic done, get the behind the scenes stuff done and then a little breather before they commence with the Rice stuff.

Watch this space.

Could anyone see us lining up like this with rodri dropping into CB out of possession like stones does if we signed rice

Ederson
Stones Dias Gvardiol
Rodri
Rice Kovavic
Foden KDB Grealish
Haaland

John Stones - played for Barnsley
Let Pep worry about everything else fella

Wasn't aware that we signed Stones from Barnsley. I'll shut up then.

Is verbal the same as oral?
Just an enquiry?

In my experience, verbal leads to oral , it’s like being a kid asking your mum for money so you can go to the shop and buy some sweets , as long as you’ve been a good boy all week you have a chance.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Yeah verbal diarrhoea..

No she's got verbal diarrhoea

Hands up if you checked google for how to spell diarrhoea or did it pop up on your iPhone :)

 

[SouthStandStander]

I can't see us signing Rice unless we move someone else on. Either Barnardo or Mahrez will go I reckon before any deal is done for Rice.
But to be fair, I'm a KFA so could be completely wrong.

I’m assuming if arsenal make a new bid that west ham won’t accept it until they know what city intend to do next

I would agree with you if you were speaking about Gvardiol and not Rice.

 

[Calv_from_the_frog]

Don’t reckon city would go nowhere near Hakimi.

Neither do I FWIW (I also think that the opposing philosphies of the UAE & Qatari govts. make this a goer only in the case where Bernardo goes the other way.

 

[flb]

Get in your man cave Declan , have a few beers and stare at your wall.

So is it Eric Diarr who plays for spurs

Phillips will go.

Not according the 'The Usual Suspects'.

Or to Pornhub.

The Gareth Southgate formation

 

[HelloCity]

Wonder if City are doing West Ham a favour bumping up the eventual price the Arse pay and the quid quo pro is in return we offload Phillips to them.

 

[bmfc95]

How would he know what Arsenal will bid next? It’s bad enough him pretending he knows what they have done let alone what they will do. Nobody knows that maybe not even Arsenal.

Imagine Arsenal telling someone what they are about to bid. Why would they?

honestly the way Mokbel has reported on this sounds like he is being drip fed PR directly from arsenal- guys been saying for a week now “third bid imminent”. If arsenal have spent this long just to not bid 100m in total, imo it’s embarassing

Pep might

 

[SouthStandStander]

Phillips will go.

Forgot about him.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Pep might

There is obvious a clear idea where Rice fits within the team if Pep pushes for the signing and Rice is accepting of the move... He's obviously not coming here to sit on the bench.

 

[freshie]

Has to be BS right??
