Declan Rice

RocktheCasbah

RocktheCasbah He's coming here, it's just about negotiating a fee that works for both parties

I did also say this 11 days ago btw.... 😊

RowJimmy

I suspect it's as much about "structure", ie, timing of installments, as it is about total fee. That's the sort of thing that's seldom reported but always important.

Just happened to check Twitter when this beauty dropped:

If they reject that, West Ham are cunts. Let's end it now.

QuincyAbeyie

Damn. If they don't accept that they can fuck off.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

QuincyAbeyie

They will wait to see if Man City match the bid.

Also, if we do get him, that is some serious pressure on the lad and us. A DM for £100m? Unheard of! To put it context, Cam cost Real £30m and Partey cost us what, £45m?

Rice is good but he is not that good. I feel it’s the optics of us fucking up a big deal that has forced our hand.

Mirth

Sicario2 - Tier 1 so Edu is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t based on what you’ve said.

Arsenal have never paid for optics - highly unlikely they’ll start now. maybe Arteta just rates him more than you do?

Also there’s no point quoting transfer fees from previous windows, the landscape has already moved on. If this goes through Rice will be the 3rd player in Britain over 100m in the past 6 months alone.

Wow! We can't do any more than that.

I reckon there's gonna be a lot of Arsenal fans very surrprised at how good this kid is. Deeelighted!*

*Provided City don't do something nasty to upset things.

Ricky1985

Do you think he's a particularly good passer of the ball? Most of what I've seen is about his ability to win the ball or drive with it, or how he covers ground in midfield.

Panda

That has to be our last offer. If City better it I'd be quite happy for us to walk away. Arteta is such a chequebook manager 😆

flobaba

Panda 😂😂😂 learned from the best didn't he. "Manager"

goon

They’re not happy with the offer apparently, or the structure. Though haven’t outright rejected it.

I think we can all now agree that they are in fact, cunty.

goon

Tell them to do one. Just go for Caicedo, even Brighton aren’t that bad.

Ricky1985

Phil

He can every play every pass in the book, and those that are saying he can't haven't watched him closely enough. The stats also show he's an elite passer.

The only unknowns are about how he'll handle the volume of passes he'll be asked to play here, but I don't have any doubt about it at all. I think his accuracy will just go even higher and his progression numbers will explode in our system.

jones

Tell Sullivan to go choke on one of his dildos, add some change to that Rice bid and give it to Napoli for Osimhen and win the title next season

GooneriC

West Ham can do one. Forget this, no one should be mugging us off for Declan Rice

Clrnc

Told you guys they are cuntish. Ridiculous to reject that

naz

We increased our bid by 15 million and they're still being idiots? This should be our last bid, this shit is stupid.

Bernard Woolley

This whole saga is nauseating. The degree of over-dependence on buying from within the league despite these obnoxious premiums is crazy.

Clrnc

Scouting is dead. Overpaying by this much just to get a DM and bowing to that idiotic club.

That said it also feels good to behave like an Arab rich club. Feels good to always be able to splash

TambourineMan

Really hoping we are close to the end of this. Great if we get our man and if we don't we can move on from this quickly. Last thing we want is for this drag out all summer and distract us from any of our other targets or alternative options.

Asterix

We can only hope that West Ham get utterly screwed by every club they try to buy from in the next 4 windows.
