Nah fuck that, it’s an insult to play anywhere near the amount Real paid for Bellingham when Rice is average and Bellingham could be world classOriginally Posted by selassie

Out of curiosity who would you go for? We can wipe Caicedo off the list as he looks Chelsea bound now.
To be fair the fee for Grealish was heavily derided at the time but he’s turned into a beast now. Granted that’s City but I don’t really see why Rice couldn’t excel in a better team. He’s literally the best interceptor in the league, which suggests his reading of the game is very good. Beats having a ponderous player like Xhaka in there.
It’s overpriced for sure but as mentioned a lot of it is down to the fact he wants to play for us. We could go and identify a better player for 100m but there’s no guarantee that player would even be interested. Timing is everything and if Rice is our man then I would suggest getting the job done ASAP and heading into the new season with plan A secured.

Why wipe out Caicedo? We’ve opted not to go for him because presumably we can’t afford Rice and Caicedo when the latter is clearly better go for the latter
We have walked away from Caicedo, or that is what is being reported. I suspect Rice is actually very close if not done but possibly at a fee a bit higher than we originally anticipated we would have to pay.
I only say this because as MO said, Rice wants to come here, that's been clear for quite a while.
I'm behind the signing to be honest, I think he will be a great player for us, I like him.
Well nobody’s perfect
Inter have enquired about Balogun. We’re apparently looking for 35-40m.
Being Linked with Roméo Labia
Let Chelsea overpay for this one
Surely all Man City have to do to get Rice is to offer money AND Phillips.
