✍️ OFFICIAL Declan Rice

[Paperino]

Feel like City would have him if he was offered to them but again, don't see him being able to do more than a solid job at being a no8 for them which only leaves the 6 or CB.

Phillips has said he's not going anywhere and Rodri is Rodri. They're going for Guardiol which makes it 14892 CBs they now have and then Stones can probably move full time into that weird midfield/CB role he plays.

On paper Rice to City has never made sense imo.

Sam Lee, City's Ornstein, said that City will go for Rice if they need to replace Gundägan.

This saga makes me tired. Just go and get Caicedo.

 

[UkrArsenal]

This saga is starting to get really annoying.

 

[Sanchez11]

Horrific source.

I really hope the person that runs that account is 12 years old. If they're an adult it's unforgivable behaviour

 

[footiegirl58]

Horrific source.

They really are and they have been really campaigning for him to go to Man City

It all stems from the single delusion that we are a competitor and city are not. Easier pill to swallow if he trades up to someone in a different stratosphere.

Which is completely wild. They almost got relegated and we almost won the league. In what universe are we competitors lmao. We are so many levels above them it’s not even funny.

Who invited United too?

Horrific source.

They have been posted by @Yousif Arsenal before.

15-06: first bid
20-06: second bid
26-06: third bid is still preparing

 

[RandomHero84]

We are in control here. I think they just wanted a sense of urgency that caused bids to come in left and right, driving the price up quicker.

Arsenal have called a bluff, and I think played this well. If City have intent to buy the player (which I think they don't), they'd let us set the price, fail and swoop in with a deal built on an improved version of our structure.

I think this gets over the line, but the daily frenzy has certainly got tiring.

United trying to get into the action...

 

[field442]

The fact City were supposedly all set to bid last week and have done **** all since tells you all you need to know about their supposed interest, or Rice's interest in moving to them.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Fab now say both want to bid this week. damn this is getting bit boring lol.

 

[RandomHero84]

Romano is a joke by the way. I'm a journalist myself. I was brought up on the idea of "have something to say".

I'm not sure what his ethos is when it comes to hitting publish. He says so little with so many words.

 

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

so so boring.
