It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

We are literally losing a DM and people here saying we don’t need one because of GUNDOGAN should tell you everything you need to know about how big a priority it is. I don’t know how big we intend to spend… but we have to
And yeah, we should get a full back too. Should have last summer already. I’d just rank it below DM


I’m sure they would want to keep him, but it’s leaking out that price tag that makes it all the more suspicious as it’s very hard to believe. It seems like a deliberate early move to not disturb their Europa League campaign

It's a deliberate move to say that he's not for sale this summer unless someone pays us £150m. They know nobody will and are confident they can still make big money next year with two years left on his deal.

Rice is obviously trying to force the issue by rejecting a new deal, but we want Bellingham next year and unsure how it all fits.

I suppose if Gabby, Sterling and someone else moves on this summer, we would have decent cash.

You said Bellingham had let the club know that he’s interested in a move. I wonder if Rice did the same, wouldn’t we work hard to get him too? Pep a clear fan. Bellingham’s contract runs until summer of 2025… it won’t be cheap

What do you mean? I’m sure Mendy’s going but we’re not gonna have Zinny and Gomez rotate at left back and leave Cancelo and Walker at right back surely? They’d both want to be playing

Well Cancelo would also still be the other option at left-back, as don't think Walker is dropping down on his side for a while yet?

125 million for Bellingham was reported by the dippers press in January

Not saying we don't need a Fernandinho replacement, but Fernandinho of the last 2 seasons not peak Fernandinho., we don't need a replacement that will be expensive like Rice.

I'm sure he has, but just don't think we have the money to do both deals on top of Haaland over the next 12 months.

Pep is a fan of Rice, which I know Estiarte has also confirmed to people, but he likes a lot of players, and we can't get them all.

For me, Rice would be brilliant.

Of course but with Gomez Cancelo and Zinchenko at left back someone’s gonna be unhappy with minutes

Zinny not being courted by West Ham still?

Just read this on Gomez, as havent seen enough of him. You can see why Txiki/Pep would at least take a look.

West Ham want Zinny, so perhaps where we could leverage something for Rice, but think it would be bad optics for Zin moving anywhere during present invasion of his homeland.

Yeah that’s understandable but also a move where he’d play more could still be tempting. We don’t know how long the invasion may last anyway. If it lasts forever does he just never move? I’m not sure it’d be a huge impact on a move
