West Ham say Declan Rice not for sale under any circumstances (naturally), according to @David_Ornstein.

However, the report also states West Ham's interest in signing Emerson Palmieri from Chelsea...

Emerson + Barkley for Rice? :ph34r:

This is kinda funny. They don't want to sell Rice to us but want players from us...

And apparently WH are completely skint from blowing their money last summer. So if they have any hope of buying this window, selling us Rice and using that money may be their only chance to improve their side.

Again, it's surely going to take Rice demanding to go in order for this to happen. This may be WH's only chance to get a huge fee for him because if they get relegated his price drops through the floor.

That would be a great deal for WH. I feel that they would be relegated this season if they dont strenghen. They have a player who can help in doing so, they can address 2 positions with these 2 players.

Difference is, they know how badly Chelsea want to sell Emerson now with Chillwell already been bought but they don't want to sell Rice given how important he is to them.

The way I see it, if they buy Emerson they're doing Chelsea a big favor. Depending on the price of course.

Yes but in some ways, why should we be accommodating to them if they don't want to sell a player we want to us? 

Rice is important to them but I don't think I am exaggerating when I say he won't stay there for long and will leave sooner or later. I get the "we don't want to sell our best players" stance but this seems like a battle they will eventually lose out on.

Sure, if he plays the way he did last season he won't be there forever. But Rice is still under contract till 2024 with club option of another year so West Ham have no need to sell yet. If they can keep him for even another year or two they'll probably be more than happy with that and unless his development stagnates completely they'll still get good money for him in 2021 or 2022.

I fully understand their stance on the matter. They won't sell unless someone offers crazy money (thinking £80M) or Rice himself puts in a transfer request and demands to go.

I've always thought the most likely timing for a Rice transfer would be 2021 and stand by that. He won't be coming this year unless the club somehow manage to flog off Jorginho for €40M and decide to go all-in for Rice by offering +70M.
