It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

True, just don’t see the point in chancing anything when we have the cash but I guess we can raise again if required?

Why chance paying an extra £10m until you have to?

Arsenal next bid will be their last one.

City are just better at this.

From the same guy who until yesterday, said he was only going to Arsenal...

Another blagger.

It’s also much more likely we hit the add-ons, unlike Arsenal.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Why offer the same as Arsenal offered amount wise? Obviously more upfront but maybe bigger first installment? They want £100m so would it not be better just to do the extra £10m and get it done if Pep wants him so bad?

It’s actually £15M more than Arsenal have offered.…..

Can we now accept then that we want Rice ;)

Blue Anon members still trying to figure out how and why this is all a smokescreen.

Did Bellingham really say yes to us?

From what I’ve, which is only rumours, is that he was always going to move to Madrid

Have a yes to us, Madrid, Liverpool.

Comments since suggest Madrid were always his priority and Zidane had started the charm offensive at last year's Champions League final, inviting him in to his box.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Certainly the "he only wants arsenal" media blitz has quieted down

The narrative tomorrow will be City are offering Rice £100k a week more than Arsenal.

Night follows day.

I’m guessing Phillips has agreed to leave otherwise we wouldn’t have bid

I'm guessing he hasn't. Nor does he need to, nor do we need him to. At this stage at least.

Never going to happen. How would he ever get used to our language and climate?

It's too big of a culture shock at this stage in his career and he'd be tens of thousands of meters away from his homeland.

I can't understand a word he says either. "awight lads it's up the apples and pears to bedfordshire for me" ... how is he supposed to integrate if he won't learn the language?
