Declan Rice

[City10.]

Vega would be a billion times better choice than this overrated, overpriced rich mans Gareth Barry

Veiga is a project, not an immediate improvement like Rice or Bellingham would be for the squad.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I think if foden is coming inside you need one more winger for cover. Maybe like a Coman or olise

Yes we badly need a pacy winger. That’s the only void we need to fill in .

It's a hell of an amount for them to splash on one player when they really need to sign 3 new defenders.

They will have to offload some players now surely ?
If they don't & come calling for Cancelo ,i would tell them to f-off.

Say what u want but we're well known for setting a price and sticking to it. As much as I think Rice would have been a good addition to an already talented squad I'm glad we've walked away.

If Arsenal spend £105m the media won't bat an eyelid, the same wouldn't be said for us!

And it won’t even be mentioned that we literally walked away from the deal because we felt Rice was being overvalued.

They’ll still write pieces about us financially distorting the transfer market, though.

I never rated Rice .Way over hyped and over rated . Stones is twice the player he is and can‘t lace Rodri‘s boot . Congrats to hammers. Brilliant business.

Ditto, read the thread title and though thank fuck!

It would be a mistake.

Don't underestimate the mental fatigue and ability to go again next season.

Huge task for some players at the wrong end of the age scale.

We all expect a drop off and let’s be honest maybe we need to temper expectations. We ain’t winning the treble again. If the squad does suffer then a cup run would be most likely.

I have high hopes Foden will come into his own and link up with a settled Haaland. I would still expect a few more faces if only to cover the departures. I have faith in the management that has delivered unprecedented success.

Players come and go all the time. We probably miss out on more than we know about. The next one will want to be here, that all I care about.

One Rodri Injury away from panic stations. Kalvin gets injured if you touch him, Stones can't stay for fit for a whole season. Also when Kalvin came in for Rodri in cup appearances opponents midfield ripped us apart may not have scored due to an Ortega masterclass

So yet again we will have to rely on Rodri staying fit all season.

Honestly, I’ve never felt such relief when pulling out
