| Arsenal are preparing to lodge a renewed offer for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo. It’s understood the Gunners will make a bid similar to the £75 million package that was rejected by Brighton in January. No personal terms have been agreed upon as it stands.[@JournoHaff , @ChrisWheatley]
Granit Xhaka is leaving the club to join Bayer Leverkusen & Albert Sambi Lokonga is also likely to be moved on. Their exits could facilitate the arrivals of Declan Rice & Moises Caicedo, with Arsenal keen to sign both players despite their lofty price tags. [@GraemeBailey] #afc

Brighton’s stance has changed since the winter. They were 100% no sale but are now open to negotiations. #BHAFC w/ @ChrisWheatley
Whenever I see Declan Rice play it just screams shite Gareth Barry vibes.
Hard pass and get Caicedo instead
Rice is massively over rated. He's a good player but not a great player and not worth 100 million.
But thankfully when you've got an owner worth 8 billion and living in a non sustainable business model, none of it is our money and hence he's worth what someone will pay.......and I couldn't give less of a fuck!
It isnt as simple as that though Steve O - if we shell out that money on an average player, it wont lift us to the level we need/aspire to be at, so yes it isnt our money as such, but it is a waste of big money who is not up to the level required.
i will bet my nuts that if he wasnt englishhe wouldnt get the love from the media and fans that he is getting, and so many times we see clubs fall into that hype trap (harry maguire ?). Let me put it this way .... is he almost as good as Bellingham ? I would say no, but bellingham is going for 92m rising to 115m and that is approx 20m more than what rice is rumoured to be costing us. That is fcuking crazy cos they are miles apart in ability
He’s Irish.
Was when he was singing about the ira a few years back, but now he is all about singing about the big earred fool and his queen who was too ugly to get a part in shrek

He is from my hometown Kingston and everything is overpriced there.

But the fuck he is. He had that chance. Its gone now. He'll have to pack his beloved IRA songs away and learn the words to God Save The Closet Job Tax Dodger With The Pedo Son.

I hope you're right because if come August we've spent 120million and the club say that's it and all we have is an average to goodish player like Rice I'm gonna be fucking steaming.
