Cicero Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 It was always going to be difficult to pry him out of London. It's a massive signing for Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Reports are that West Ham have rejected the initial bid from Arsenal. Man City are rumoured to be interested now. To be honest, I can see Chelsea deciding to just come in and pay whatever's needed to get it done without negotiating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Arsenal will lose out on Rice because they pissed about. Did they honestly expect 80m to do it? West Ham have thrown 120m price tags around, at least go in strong with 100m and just have it done. If you’re swilling to spend 90m, just pay the 100. City will swoop in now and take him away.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 22, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted June 22, 2023 If City manage to hijack this deal as well then we're getting even closer to the point where there needs to be some form of regulation applied to transfer spending or number of signings otherwise Man City will eventually build an absolute monopoly over English football. It's going to look much the same as Bayern in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Rice will still likely choose Arsenal over City I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a big misconception, net spend City are middle of the premier league over the last 5 years and our squad is not that deep, we have about 17 decent players to cover 3 games a week and just lost Gundogan with Bernardo, Laporte, Mahrez potentially leaving too and Phillips could be part of the Rice deal. next season could be a big drop off from us with the amount of players we might need to replace, it takes time to learn Pep's way of playing. we are just lucky we have 300million in prize money this season with 200million saved up from past seasons with us not spending much plus player sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 City have lost and may lose a few more players like Cancelo, Silva, Laporte likely to go they will need to fill those positions. If there is a team guilty of hoarding that would be Chel$ea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Wonder where Pep plays him, a new formation or does he do the John Stones role and Stones drops back to CB/RB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Anything above £75m is too much for him in my opinion. I'd love him here but I'd rather pass if we're being drawn into a bidding war with the likes of Man City and Chelsea. It's a waste of time. 8 hours ago, OrangeKhrush said: they lost out on Mudryk for the same thing. And thank fuck for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not even worth 75million in my opinion to the buying team but to WHU and what they lose he's worth every penny to them like with Grealish, we paid what he was worth to Villa rather than what Jack was actually worth, still don't rate him, average player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
