✍️ OFFICIAL Declan Rice

[Camron]

When's the last time West Ham had someone anyone wanted?

100% understand their position. We need to act like a big boy and pay up now.

No one is posting like this here.

If you’re referring to Twitter, it’s a cesspool full of imbeciles, plenty of them on your side there too.

Obviously I'm exaggerating, but if you look back through this thread you'll find countless of posts belittling and questioning us for simply not finding your bids good enough.

Then you have the "Sack Edu now!" crowd as well, screaming for his head even though almost no business has been done by anyone in the league

It's a madhouse in here. Add every single Twitter rando getting posted here as well and you have an endless cycle of "this is it!" followed by "WTF Edu?????"

If arsenal bid 100m it will be turned down as city interested, hence both will rise steadily to this figure. West ham need to know they are not in control, as they aren't.

What about our bid being turned down & then City don't rebid?
Interesting though that there have been reports of 2 verbal offers.

You think a bid of 85m+ 15m in achievable add-ons gets turned down?

 

[Halcyon Daze]

For a club that is supposed to be below you lot in stature and power, we've sure managed to get this entire forum shook beyond belief

Arsenal: *sends bid*

West Ham: *rejects bid*

This forum: "YOU ABSOLUTE IMBECILES AT WEST HAM UNITED! HOW DARE YOU REJECT ARSENAL'S BID FOR DECLAN RICE? WE ARE THE EPITOME OF FOOTBALL GREATNESS, A CLUB ADORNED WITH TITLES AND LEGENDS. YOUR AUDACITY REEKS OF IGNORANCE AND FOOLISHNESS. PREPARE TO FACE THE WRATH OF ENRAGED GUNNERS!"

Don’t think anyone is bashing West Ham in general. The sentiment is that they’re rightly holding out for the best price. Arsenal fans are pure c**ts on social media, yeah, and you’ll get an odd West Ham bashing on here as you’ve already posted. But tbh the anti-Arsenal vitriol is prevalent on your forum, more so than anti-West Ham on here. Stones in glass houses and all that.

I don't post on KUMB, if that's what you're referring to. I don't doubt they're bashing you lot, it's a London "rival" and it feels **** to sell to someone you want to catch up to, however unrealistic that may be.

I wonder what the amount we got for Fabregas would amount to in today’s market? Something tells me if we were the ones selling Rice clubs would just low ball us and if we didn’t accept wait for him to run down his contract and sign him for free.

 

[MD3 Gunner]

90m for a player who's not world class is 'laughable' apparently these days.. Hope West Ham get relegated

 

[lomekian]

Tbh, I have no problem with what WHU are doing, and would want us to be doing the same in their boat, albeit in a slightly less flashing of gusset to the paparazzi sort of fashion. They want as much ££ as possible and their fans on the whole want him to go a club they've never given a **** about rather than one who are vaguely rivals.

Fabregas said he'd only go to Barcelona and would go on strike if not sold so a bit of a different situation.

There is a thread called what would they be worth today maybe you should ask about fabregas there.

Na, not saying you do, not what I meant. Just saying WHU fans are giving it the biggun too.

How does 24 year old compare to 24 year old Patrick Vieira?

Hated that, but there’s an element of acceptance as he wanted to fulfil a dream of going back to his boyhood club. But Kos going on strike for f**king Bordeaux boiled my p1ss.

Regarding the reaction from fellow Hammers, I don't think Arsenal fans generally understand how it feels to support a club that doesn't compete for anything 99% of the time and more often than not have to fight to even exist in the big league.

Whenever we have something to get genuinely excited for, be it a first team player, a prospect or a manager, we know everything is on borrowed time. You don't continuously build on a platform; you start building only for the house to get torn down every couple of years. There is no "project", because heavily investing in youth and a young manager at our level comes with a very real chance of relegation and financial ruin.

Selling to you lot kind of hammers home (pun intended) the inherent uneven playing field that football is. There's a ceiling on a club like ours and that fact in itself is frustrating beyond belief, so fans lash out. Rice is loved by everyone at West Ham, but we are so deeply aware of our status within the game that we also acknowledge and respect his wishes to leave.

Whenever you see Hammers online lashing out at Arsenal, it's more often than not anger towards the state of football rather than specific hatred towards another fan base. You are just the most recent example of how we're just generally ****ed and on top of that you happen to come in for our most beloved player in more than a decade.

Someone wants to be a Mod.

Yeah but he should have behaved like Rice and kept quiet to let us get the biggest fee we could.

Top post.

Look at them ffs. They've completely lost touch with reality. They are saying they want 100m upfront, lmao, no deals are done like that.

 

[WiscoGooner8]

Right, that’s what only wanting to play for one club looks like, not what Rice and Mudryk are doing/did.
