✍️ OFFICIAL Declan Rice

[NieThePiet]

Yes but really they need to focus on buying Kane. and Munich thankfully not a team who will throw 80M-100M on players not that type of club

They won't buy Kane, no chance they are spending 100m+ for a 30 year old.
Thankfully they can't pay the money for Rice too.

Cynical take: City know he’s going to Arsenal so they’re bad mouthing him to the press like United did with Vardy in 2016

City don't need to win a PR battle if we beat them to a signing. They took the league from us.

As expected, reports of loads of clubs being in for him now.

He is a top tier midfielder and one of englands poster boys. Any of the big PL clubs would be silly not to be in for him.

If we get him it’s a huge, huge signing in terms of talent and squad improvement but also as a “statement” signing.

United didn’t need Vardy back then either, Mourinho just wanted to spite Arsenal which is what Pep might be doing.

I don't see why he'd spite us. Arteta is his friend. Mourinho actually hated Wenger.

This deal gives me Jesus vibes, think we have done enough ground work and showed enough evidence on the field.

Its about doing a good deal with West Ham now, and I think that's already underway.

Hopefully because it's clear he's needed.

Pep perhaps, but Boehly most definitely.

That **** knows how to do two things well in football. Set up a 443 formation and destroy club's transfer plans.

Pep has been taking subtle digs at Arsenal for weeks mocking the team.

Pep done it numerous times to United - done it with Sanchez, Maguire and Fred - he’s a proper little piss taker.

Rightly so. He is trying to toughen us up and it’s the only way. If I was pep I would be trolling Arsenal now

 

[Game Over]

If we get this done, hope it’s done quickly and not the usual drawn out saga.

An early statement signing would be such a lift after a downer end to the season.

 

[Blaziken]

Even nearly every Bayern Fan knows how good he is and normally they are hating all these overpriced english PL players.

Certain fans prefer exotic names.

who do you guys reckon is our plan b, after we chase Rice all summer and come up empty handed?

Zubimendi. Has a release clause of 50m. Moderate wages 100-140k a week and is the right age profile at 23-24.

That's just playing mind games with a young team. It probably worked. I don't think there's any actual malice towards Arsenal. There's no reason for there to be. It's not like Wenger vs Fergie or Mourinho where there's actual bad blood. The City players and him seem to look at us like little brothers more than some kind of mortal enemy or something.

Sounds like another transfer where we'll spend months trying to low ball before another club swoops in.
