Going back in again suggests we believe the player wants to come to us and I think that’s not in doubt.

Yes there’s an offer at which Brighton would sell to us, but let’s just say we are no where near it. I’m talking double what we actually offered to begin with originally at a minimum
They will sell at £80m and if they don't, no one will offer more than £80m this summer, I guarantee this.

Personally, unless their is info the club is privy to that is not in the public domain, I would go for another option (first course of action) and at worst, only bid £75m as a last desperate resort.

But I agree with everyone, all signings we go for from now on will be overpriced as we have clearly shown everyone we have a large warchest and are clearly confused on how to use it.

With the way things are going I'd expect West Ham to quote us £140m for Rice in the summer.

What great transfer Tsars we have!
