I assume he would count as homegrown since he had developed 10 years at Birmingham when he was 16, but I could be wrong if they for some stupid reason would only count age 15-21.

Rice really would be a Football Manager transfer for us if I’ve ever seen one. Two absolutely world class players in one position is a little indulgent (and highly unlikely).
We’ve other priorities.
Grealish was much more of a Football Manager transfer.

If he will still become a homegrown if signed before 2023, he would still definitely be an option though. Not sure he would be a good Fernandinho replacement in my opinion, from what I have seen many of his strengths are attacking, making him more of an 8 than a 6 in my opinion. Would perhaps suit better to replace Gündogan when his contract expires next season if he would want to leave.It is 15 to 21 bud.

Don’t you think that Rice can work and be developed as a central midfielder as well?I’d be surprised if we were going to throw another 100m (which is what West Ham would be asking) at a player who would in effect be an understudy to Rodri.
I’d also be surprised if Rice would be happy with that role at this stage of his career.
Doesn’t seem plausible this one to me.
So you weren't at the etihad, when a young Declan Rice played at CB and put in a brilliant performance, Pep has been fan ever since thisRice really would be a Football Manager transfer for us if I’ve ever seen one.

I like him but I’m already on record saying I don’t think he’s the one for us and nothings really changed.Don’t you think that Rice can work and be developed as a central midfielder as well?
If it happened then yeah, he could be developed but it’s not a signing I’d personally push.

It’s so obvious that he is someone Pep would love to have and probably at the top of the list for the position. Whether he will and the club will actually push is a different story of course, but it would be a natural developmentSo you weren't at the etihad, when a young Declan Rice played at CB and put in a brilliant performance, Pep has been fan ever since this
Believe we were in for him a few years ago, could have got him for £20/30m, but he signed a contract extensionIt’s so obvious that he is someone Pep would love to have and probably at the top of the list for the position.
