Declan Rice (done and dusted)

A £10m difference isn’t that bad. Usually we’re offering much less :slight_smile:

Kim min Jae rumours been going on for a few weeks tbf.

But the rest agree, seems like the usual transfer bollocks.

I mean you’d think it’s very easy to resolve a 10m gap surely :joy: we add 5m and they accept 5m less…done.

I do think it’s all just Twitter bollocks anyway.

Most of the rumours that appear on here are

I’d love to know what the top 20 longest rumour threads is on this site and how many of them we signed.

Zaha and still it continues

  1. Wilfred Zaha
  2. Serge Gnabry
  3. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
  4. Alexandre Lacazette
  5. Kieran Tierney
  6. James Maddison
  7. Declan Rice
  8. Youri Tielemans
  9. Shkodran Mustafi
  10. Dusan Vlahovic

  15. Lucas Torreira
  16. Denis Suarez
  17. Yannick Ferreira Carrasco
  18. Julian Draxler
  19. Ousmane Dembele

Hazard and Mata were also talked about a lot but Melo, Draxler and Lacazette were certainly some of the longest.
Baptista as well.

It was a short period but I remember when you couldn’t stop hearing about this fooker. What the heck was up with Henry “We are here to stay” being buddies with him too.

It’s going to be super disappointing if we don’t sign Rice at this point. This one feels a lot like Jesus, our top priority and a deal we’ve been working on for months and months.

Agreed.

If we can’t secure supposed #1 targets like this then it is a huge failing and ultimately a knock on the project.

No BS’ing around, get it done decisively.

Just reading the BBC Saturday Gossip column which states that West Ham are interested in Tavares. That’s definitely the type of cash + player deal I could get behind this summer. Takes at least £10-£15m off the asking price.
