I think 70 million plus add ons was more than generous.
I think it’s now time to walk away from the Rice circus. £90m is way more than we should be paying, surely there are cheaper alternatives.
it's embarrassing either way IMO - either we're overpaying for him or we miss out on our publicly-stated number one target who wants to come to the club.Quote:

We are woeful with transfers. Look how other clubs conduct their business. how much? Okay, here’s is the asking price. Whereas we come along, how much, okay we will pay you in instalments over 72 years, maybe.Quote:

Is he really that good?
West Ham really hoping City enter negotiations. Fuck West ham and Rice. Our money is better off elsewhere, would be funny if at the end of the window he was still at west ham.
