Define "over 60 million". 🤨

Does that mean we'll have to pay only 21 million if we offer cash plus Abraham for Rice?

Think we could potentially throw in Barkley too

Trade 2 players for 1 without any cash involved? 

Or 21 million + Abraham + Barkley as a free gift? 🤣

The former. 
 

Id like to think this would benefit both parties.

Ha! It'll be the Arsenal-Suarez situation all over again.

[MoroccanBlue 5,306]

Whilst Rice certainly isn’t most of our 1st choice, he is premier league proven. So he can make an immediate impact. 
 

Just weird how apparently both the club and Tuchel identify him as the CM priority.

I still cannot believe they did that.

It’s strange. There isn’t t a lot of transfer movement, but of course what little movement there is is happening at the clubs most likely to battle us for a top 4 spot like United and Leicester and even fucking Arsenal.

I’m trying to maintain the belief that the reason everything is silent from us is that we’re working secretly on an elephant sized deal like Haaland. But the problem with putting all our eggs in that basket is that we look like naive morons if that doesn’t work.

Only using Simon Phillips because he is directly quoting Matt Law’s podcast…Lukaku

Just like Sancho last year, either pay what they want or fuck off.

You mentioned Arsenal's transfer business like you wouldn't go mad if we suddenly bought Tavares, Lokonga and White.

Also no guarantee that United and Leicester will immediately be better because of who they have signed. We should know this better than most considering our experience last season. If anything, we might have the advantage given the players we bought have had another (or a) year of PL experience under their belt, are settled and have a proper manager now to get more out of the players.

Plus, let's not forget that City haven't signed anyone - no guarantee they will sign Kane and/or Grealish either - and Liverpool haven't done anything after announcing Konate what seemed like ages now. Yes, one could say they have proven players etc but their squads are also arguably, perhaps a tad stale by now. For all the focus on Liverpool's (for example) defensive injury problems last season, they also struggled at the other end (remember their horrendous home form?) and only got into the Top 4 because of a late winning run towards the end of the season, which they benefited from Leicester's collapse.

People must only be looking at the name at this point, like with Liverpool under Dalglish.

If someone mentions Arsenal then they should be mentioning Villa and Leeds aswell.

I know The Athletic namechecked Lukaku very recently but unless Matt Law knows something that the others (like the Italian media) don't, it feels like he's the only one pushing this story? Plus, spending over 100 million on a 28-year-old, who isn't even Messi or Ronaldo, is insanity. Better off just throwing the bank at Haaland at that point.

But unlike Sancho last year, Dortmund haven't exactly made public what it would take to get Haaland this summer, have they? All this talk of a big bid have come from journalists, who may or may not be making things up and the same ones that have also said Dortmund won't sell him this year.
