Summer Transfer Shit and Everything Else

[Marc Overmars]

Now would be a good time to start this.

It is thought that West Ham will sell Rice to a CL club for 120m.

Probably a saga that will drag on but I would quite like him tbh.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Fuck that….don’t rate Rice…the 120 million is a passport tax for being English

Caicedo should be who we go for

A better player who clearly fits our style

I think Rice is a really good player and it would be a massive statement signing for us but.....the fees being banded about are crazy. I understand all the usual nonsense with buying English players from within PL, but i think Rice is a max 80m player given his current contract situation and his desire to leave.

I want us to pursue him but not if it means we blow our budget on him and neglect other areas of the team.

Also, I think Rice may end up going to Man City. Talks that West Ham like Kalvin Phillips and City want rid, he could be used in the deal to bring Rice to City and Phillips to West Ham.

I’d add Xhaka and Elneny to the sell list and bring in another midfielder (which don’t see happening) but largely I agree

I'd keep Xhaka but not have him as an automatic starter, he'd be useful in lesser cup games and against certain teams

Elneny ilkewise has hi uses adn tbh he's almost certainly on a pretty cheap contract

but i forgot to say i'd sell ESR - have added him now...

I think Smith Rowe is more valuable to us than Xhaka and Elneny. In that I don’t think anyone else could substitute for Odegaard in his position…Trossard possibly but he’s more of a naturally wide player.

For me ESR is a player who is a real question mark, due to injuries and consistency, but as he has talent and is English we could get a good price for him right now, before he gets too much of a reputation for being injury-prone

£120m for Rice is insane..makes no sense paying more than £80m for anyone doing his role IMO.

I mean £120m and adding a bit of change we could make teue statement signings like Osimehen, Kvaradona or even Bellingham.

The Hammers obviously don't want to sell and will lose him for change later.

I can see that argument, but I do think his valuation has dropped since his eye catching season last season, and I still feel that on the basis of this he has potential to improve and be an option in our team. It's sad that he was regarded as one of our top talents (and a fan favourite) just a year ago - and worrying that Arteta no longer seems to fancy him for whatever reason.
