Rice confirmed as being available by West Ham. I genuinely hope we go all out to get him. For me exactly what we need to improve.

good player but Sofyan Amrabat outshone him last nite, available and probably 30% of the cost- only positive read that west ham are interested in a couple of our players that we could be looking to get rid of anyway.

Would signing Mount and with Jack being at City entice him up here I wonder?

WRD - i wouldn't hold your breath about the Mount signing.
I can see this one running all summer as usual.

Didn't watch the game and don't really know hom apart from the Morroco showings. Looks good, but with Rice you get someone who knows the Premier League, and would hopefully hit the ground running.

Also, as you say if rumours are true thay they are interested in McTominay and Maguire, and they would be interested in going there, then hopefully 30 to 50 million plus those 2 would be a great buy.

I've watched rice all season, clearly a good player, but there are many others out there better and cheaper.

He drives me mad with his stops starts and 10 touches each time he gets the ball. Loves to pass backwards and sidewards when he has the ability to play forward. Maybe it's something that can be coached.

Amrabat came through under EtH at Utrecht.

Amrabat is good, macalister I preferred. Brozovic, Caicedo, Anguissa, to name but a few simo.

No one is mentioning Rice and United in the same breath. It's Arsenal and Bayern Munich, even Chelsea was mentioned (I know Ed002 has confirmed longterm interest), but No United mentioned with Rice.

I do wonder if we are putting all our efforts into Mount and missing opportunities to convince other good players to play for us. I can understand passing up on Mac Allister, but would be criminal to pass up on Rice.

I keep having a feeling Caicedo may become heavily linked to us soon. I don't know why, there is nothing tasty in the news, but it's just a feeling I'm getting that he could end up at OT. I'd prefer Rice mind.

Sure I read that Ed said we would push for Rice or words to that affect, hope so.

I can't see us paying a 100 million for Rice. He is not a 100 mill player and just british tax I guess. market is crazy with some of the numbers being quoted. Barella at Inter is a better player than rice is for me. Don't be surprised if city go sniffing around to get him. Would love to see him playing along cas, that would be class midfield.

Plenty of suggestions that Arsenal might move for both Caicedo and Rice, although it won't be very Arsenal-like to spend upwards of £175m and break their transfer record (currently Pepe, £72m) twice.

Rice is a good player, but the money being talked about is ridiculous. He is not worth over £100+ million.

Rice is extremely expensive for what he does. I can't see us paying the transfer fee that is being mentioned.

Caicedo available at a similar if not cheaper price with a higher ceiling. And palhinha who is on a similar level yet would be cheaper.
