It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[CADE MCFC 1894]

How much the bid will be 100 mill + 20 mill or 75 mill + 15 mill + phillips go west ham

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

Tolmie sent me a PM cause he said I’m his fave.

 

[Pollocks OG]

I think this gets done at £100million.

 

[DMA's]

I hope now we have bid for rice we can get this done. Would be some signing and he would be a huge player for us over the next 10 years imo. Right blend of character and ability. Only concern is will arsenal still be his preferred choice

 

[skillman]

West Ham would prefer him to come here than Arsenal, you'd think?

 

[bluesince76]

Yep, don't see otherwise mate.

Hopefully we do Rice at £100m and then announce Bernie been sold for £100m to Saudi.

The boiled piss will be off the charts.

Swap 'Bernie' for 'Phillips' and you've got a deal ;-)

 

[SuperSilva21]

Rice has given us the nod, as TH said bid submitted this morning!

 

[JimmyGrimble10]

If you consider we have probably waited to see what money Arsenal could stretch to, coupled with waiting until after the international games and Gundo leaving, it all starts to make more sense.

If you had to bet, who’s he playing for next season? Us or Arsenal?

 

[blueparrot]

I don't think Phillips is going to get much game time if Rice joins. Sucks for him but he'll be well behind Rodri, Rice, Kovacic and even Bernrdo (if he stays).

Think it might mean more game time for Phillips if he stays. My thinking is if we have Rice and Rodri then we are planning on setting up a different way, Phillips would be more likely to play in rotation with a 2 of Rodri and Rice than he was playing on his own as a Rodri replacement.
So 2 from Rodri, Rice , Phillips. With Kovacic further forward rotating with KDB and Foden.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

I see rice more in the box to box than as alongside rodri?? My only concern is that he's agent is giving us encouragement while getting arsenal to up they're wage offer??

But but but LONDON!!

Sounds like they’re constantly messaging us on WhatsApp tbf.

“Arsenal bid for Rice”

“You want Rice?”

“?”

“Arsenal big again”

“*bid”

“Lol”

“You bidding?”

“Go on then!”

“:)”

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I think the overwhelming majority of the Bluemoon community can see quite clearly that tolmie’s info is legit, but for some weird reason, the Twitter community don’t hold him in the same regard.

So I just want to give props to tolmie as wayyy before the window even kicked off, he said it’s Gvardiol, Kovacic and Bellingham. With Rice as the Bellingham back up. And that is precisely how it’s then played out.

 

[bell_mcfc]

Yep, don't see otherwise mate.

Hopefully we do Rice at £100m and then announce Bernie been sold for £100m to Saudi.

The boiled piss will be off the charts.

I’d rather not see Bernie go there to be honest.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Pretty clear that Declan Rice has already gave the go ahead and has said yes to City. Otherwise we wouldn't be putting a bid in for him.

I think we'll get this done.

 

[bluwes]

Does the bid for him include Kalvin?

Because that's the only way I can make sense of potentially signing him. He's not a box-to-box midfielder like Ilkay was so he'd be added to the stable along with Rodri and Phillips. If he's coming to be Rodri's backup then it makes a hell of a lot more sense. If Kalvin is staying then I think we have far bigger needs elsewhere in the squad.

Think you need to stick to baseball Trent

 

[Mancity0303]

BUT HE ONLY WANTS LONDOOOOOON

 

[Gumzy97]

Fuck me we’re gonna be such a physically imposing team next season if we get Rice and Gvardiol in. The evolution of the squad under Pep has been mad.

It's the evolution of Peps squad , brilliant technical ability and power. Is an incredible combination.

 

[supercity88]

Kovacic, Gvardiol and Rice would be one hell of a summer.

 

[SWP's back]

No chance we would bid for Rice if we didn`t get a go-ahead from him or his agent. Sadly I can definitely see this happening

Was going to like this then saw the last sentence.
