    Don’t think there was as big outrage cos of the level of player who went to China and not too many in reality. Whereas what, 20 top levels over the course of this last year to Saudi?

    love it :BR1:

    They're not happy, are they ?

    Hope the Saudi teams raid their full league and give them a taste of their own medicine.

    Bernardo Silva always said that he wants to return to Benfica. Even has Benfica's motto - E pluribus unum - tatooed in his left arm.

    Would make sense to play there for a couple of years, secure the bag and come back to Lisbon as a 30-32y old. Playing there would allow him to return faster.

    Why are all these players wanting to leave city? Surely under pep and just winning the treble you’d want to stay at the “top” club in the world?

    Lost some respect for Bernardo Silva to be honest. Imagine going there in your prime.

    Man City strategy rather than strengthen own squad prevent nearest rivals from getting stronger they will hijack the rice signing and probs not play him

    Yeah I think so too. Just like they did with Kalvin Phillips and he was sitting on the bench and played like 5 or more games for them last season.

    See that’s when I lose interest in football when teams like West Ham are holding out for 100m on a player.

    In all fairness they will get it, I'm just surprised Rice is commanding it. 100m is usually the price of an attacking player.

    Declan Rice is as average as they come. Not a bad player, but far from a difference maker.

    I cannot believe Arsenal are willing to shell out £105 million on him.

    Seems like it's to stop City getting him, reality is Arsenal could do wonders with that 100m.

    Aye it's mental Arsenal are willing to pay £105m for Rice and Harry Kane apparently wants a move to Bayern Munich that was unexpected cos i thought he might go to another EPL club like Man utd or Real Madrid.

    Rice is a good player but he’s not worth £100M ffs :56: another overhyped English player, he suited West Ham’s style under Moyes but he aint that good.

    My guess is Spurs have gotten the hump about selling to a PL team basically leaving only Bayern or Real. Kane probably wants medals, I know he has his records but he's not won anything but at Bayern you are pretty much guaranteed the league
