I don’t think that would be our offer but if it was £60m upfront and a player worth at least £40m who could replace Rice looks a strong offer to me.

Clearly WH value the cash upfront, as they should and Arsenal’s on the drip offer may not be as strong as you think.

That was a release clause, and we were the only club he was interested in.

Pay the advertised price, take the product, job done. None of this outbidding shit.

Well it would help a bit if the Dildo seller gave an indication as to what the price is then wouldn't it ?

They've promised him he can leave,and I know they want as much as possible,but come on now,an indication would be helpful.

I know you are not suggesting Rice doesn't want us,and that will be the reason we ain't walked away yet neither I suppose.

The extra £15m we need to find is literally just £3m per year over the 5 year deal he would likely be given. Just announce a new official partner to cover it ;)

'HH Giant Cakes Ltd'

Would look fantastic on our shirt sleeve.
 
£110mill over 3 years including add-ons. That should finish the Arsenal upstarts off.
 
I'd like Rice but for the same price or less we could ...
...get Kane (or another top striker) and have 3 choices for 2 positions up front
...keep Laporte and have a gazillion top CDs
...play Stones more often in midfield and be more solid than having Rice in there
...play Alvarez more often in midfield and be more tenacious/dangerous than having Rice in there

Or we could buy 1 or 2 wingers with the X factor.

But then we wouldn't stick to Pep's original plan and be able to laugh at Arsenal.

Grealish isn't worth £100m.

The market dictates and we can either shit or get off the pot and allow other teams to catch up.

We have our foot on the neck of football, this is absolutely the time we should keep it there and destroy optimism elsewhere.

I saw a piece yesterday which said when United won the Treble in 99, they went out and bought Silvestre, Taibi and some other no mark for a combined for £10m.

Arsenal said thanks for very much.

If we’re walking away because we’re not comfortable paying that price then I’ll trust the club. They rarely get it wrong

Sam Lee (I know, I know) said Rice’s preference is the Arse munchers.

Stances do change.

If anything, waiting means the market will dictate even more a higher price in the months and seasons to come.

Especially so, as we have now telegraphed we want Rice/midfielder of his type.

Haaland was an opportunity because of his release clause, otherwise we have to find £200m last summer, more than Kane would have cost us.

The overriding sense is Pep wants Rice and coming off the back of last season, we should deliver for him.

All these other names being suggested, unless it's FDJ, the rest are shit l, unproven, or likely to miss home and their momma.

Last sentence. The snobbish attitude towards Rice is disappointing, but not surprising.
The only midfielder of his ilk at his level, or rather who's better than him in Europe is already at City, Rodri. Everyone else is just levels below him.

Trying to throw in fairy and nothing players from Ligue 1, La Liga, Serie A or wherever, with fancy names,, players who have one or two decent games in 10,, is quite disingenuous. And glad the stats back that up and that Pep also rates him that highly. He may or may not come here, but this is irrelevant. Whether at Arsenal or City, he'll still boss it. Like Khaldoon would say, 'These are the facts...'

Don't forget we are all dealing with a loud mouthed market stall trader who can't keep his trap shut. Moyes will have a say in this aswell, he may be keen on KP. This seems like a Bellingham MkII, he's told both clubs he's interested. If both clubs match bids that are accepted then he has to make a decision and at present noone knows which way he will go. Forget the stay in London crap and twitter shite. I'm expecting another bid from City today or tomorrow then its up to him to decide.

Pep would turn Harry Kane into a monster midfielder.
