As an arsenal fan, this is the last bid we should do, if they don't accept it, we should just walk, and go for someone else.

That’s about 60M too much 🤣

ESPN yesterday were praising city for bidding 90 mil for a A squad player but when arsenal want him as a main man it’s meh bunch of 🤡🤡🤡🤡

105m for rice is wild, not saying he’s not a good player but that’s striker money

No matter who signs Rice, West Ham are the real winners.

If we get him or not we can’t fault our board for trying this time. We have been asking for this Arsenal for years to compete for the biggest players and I’m glad to see it. Arsenal offering the highest fee for an English player would never have crossed my mind so I’m loving how our club is evolving and I hope we win something major this coming season.

I just love Craig for his passionate and wise contribution

Kalvin Phillips be catching strays from these guys everyday. Rooting for him wherever he goes.

About 6 season ago I saw Liverpool taking the right steps and said to myself watch out for Liverpool. Few seasons later, they won the league and Champion league. Today I see Arsenal making the right moves, watch out for them.

It’s gonna come down to the payment structure of the deal. West Ham want that 100M in as few installments as possible.

Doesn't matter what pundits say about where Rice should go because it's clear Rice wants to go to Arsenal. If Rice wants to go to City, Arsenal wouldn't even be trying here.

Offering $105M for a $40M player 😂😂😂😂😂

As a city fan Arsenal thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

West Ham doesn't want Rice at Arsenal period. If this doesn't get him, let Arsenal move on and use the money on 2 other midfielders. Or throw the money at Caicedo. Arsenal must not go above this. It is looking silly bcos he's not worth that much. Although hes a good player.

No mention of the fact city have 115 charges hanging over their head just lost Gundogan , Walker Mahrez losing Bernardo. Aging players like de bruyne. Arsenal are special and young

I'm sure yesterday after Citys bid, people in these comments were laughing at Arsenal for missing out now it's 'Arsenal are overpaying' and FFP blah blah blah...😂

As a gunner this should be the last bid and if they don’t accept we should just walk away 💪

As long as Rodri is playing in City, Rice should not go there

IMO West Ham always wanted a bidding war. I think even if Arsenal started at that 100 mil, I thhink they would've rejected to see if they could get past 100 mill

As a City fan we should forget about Rice now. 90m is the most we should pay for this guy...105m is ridiculous. All the best to Declan as he seems a good guy and he will make Arsenal a better team.

70 mill for.Havertz and now 105 mill on this big sack of english rice. What is Arsenal thinking

If this was man City people would say "oil money".

“I don’t get excited by much” Yep, he’s a City fan.

He would play over Stones at City. But to pay more than 90m for a player like that is pretty ridiculous

Man City have just signed Kovavic,they have Rodri,Phillips and Stone in that position it will be absolutely stupidity to spend more than £100 mil on another midfielder in that position….unless they are afraid of Arsenal getting better this season if so they should go buy all Arsenal’s transfer targets…

Wow! wow! wow...! This has just gone wow for Arteta. 105M bid is the current breaking news. And if rejected, we have got to stop at that great height and check options else where.

OK that is the final bid. Don't care about structure if that ain't enough we walk away.

Its safe to say that should this bid get rejected and Arsenal pull out ,No one Arsenal fan will get angry 😡 over Westham's ridiculous Greed ! But fair play to Arsenal this is a statement of intent despite the ridiculous hypes and price hike over Westham's Greed but City will respond to this ... Arsenal4ever

Go to arsenal ,they ain't got 115 charges hanging about

There was no way Arsenal could have done this early doors. Not in westhams interest. They are leaking info and letting this rumble in as much as they can.

If you understand city, you’ll know they don’t get into bidding wars. Soon as the sense a bidding war they walk away and before they put in a bid they make sure all parties are happy so they won’t put in a bid and then West Ham will reject because they would’ve asked them what West Ham want before and I’m going to say it bs and West Ham are playing a game using city’s name to make arsenal pay the asking price of £120mil

I hope Arsenal dont bid a penny MORE than the 105m thats too much for Rice

I don't see Man City buying Declan Rice for that amount. He should rather go to Arsenal because he will start ahead of Rodri, and then Kelvin Philips wants to stay and learn.

😂 city don’t want basmati rice level player they just signed kovacic they are stacked in midfield! They just bumping up the price so Arsenal blow their budget on mid level players

City don’t need him, look at Calvin Phillips won 3 cups not playing at all. GREAT!!!!

So we just pretending now that Rice is a £105M midfielder ? Price tags don’t matter anymore nah? Premier league transfer record ? Ok.

English tax is crazy, it’s too late for tonali unfortunately ….. but Barella is still available

Suddenly West Ham said bid price evaluation is 150 mill pound

That is ridiculously high thanks to the press.

3:38 Nahh, if arsenal bid early 100 mil sullivan (west ham owner) will ask more dfkm 110, 120 mil

For arsenal to go to top with rice they will have to get someone solid alongside rice.And they still need to got get a striker. Cause they a not depth enough.

Rice has 1 YEAR LEFT why so expensive?

Why is Arsenal doing all these horrible deals overpaying for players?

Think we should look else where now paying over the odds

Being a city fan, i would say Rice should go to Arsenal, no point in engaging in this kind of crazy bidding war for a midfielder...

Just heard West ham rejected the offer - again 🙄

If they refuse the offer we walk away

I'd like to see City pull out, then Ars make a new offer of £70m or something.

Just let Arsenal have him for that much its getting silly now

Arsenal should never go higher than 105M... We tried I am proud. If we get him I buy the home kit if not hard luck

105m for a defensive mid who is not even the best in the league. Lets just say if west ham don't accept i wouldn't care as an arsenal fan

Too much!!!

if rice is worth 100M. mbappe is worth 1Bn. this is getting out of hand. there shud be laws to prevent these high pay transfers. go to a poor country feed 100 M kids with rice with that 100M

We are looking at the evolution of Arsenal football club, it’s so exciting to see especially for a fan who has had to see this club hit rock bottom, I am so glad to be alive right now!

Do ciry need him tho, don't think so. I mean they already have prime rodri and stomes in that hybrid role excelling. Does pep want to play rice as an 8 alonsode kdb? Other than that i dont think he starts over rodri or stones as of today.

As Arsenal fans I dont mind he go to City if West Ham didnt accept that 105m. We move away we not gonna pay 120m for a player but I think the problem is not the price now but the payment structure. West ham wants 50m upfront and another 50m the next day. Lol

proud of edu and our owners..if west ham reject the bid then walk away, on a sidenote why the heck did the rest of the league allow pep to get kovacic , him and rodri are going to pass teams to death ffs

Anyone that believes Arsenal should have made their first bid £100m have never ever been involved in purchasing any commodity of significant worth or management a business where large sums of money are involved. Rice is no Mbappe, it will be foolish for anyone to start a bid at £100m for Rice, even City did not bid £100m and they’ve got a bottomless pit of cash

Who will replace him at west ham though!

Arsenal have *still* not replaced David Luiz.

Where is Ale Moreno?

It's all the payment scructure..😊

As a Liverpool fan I hope he goes to Arsenal to maintain some parity in the EPL. The is 2 steps away from becoming the Bundesliga or the SPL.

Description?? £90 man city offer

Mr Burley nice tan and looking sharp for inter Miami and Messi

Barcelona forward was ready to separate from his agent over differing transfer stance

I don't get this argument about Rice not starting in the City side. They would not splash so much money for the player to end up on the bench.

Rejected already

We don't do bidding wars

This year everyone will see the definition of INFLATION...From Saudi crazy 300M+ a year...to MLS movie deals for players...to Tottenham asking more than 100M for a 28y Kane....to Chelsea who keeps spending money with no fair play rules...to City and Arsenal making crazy offers for one guy....To definitely one of the biggest transfers with Mbappe if he was sold this year....Football is going crazy...Wasn't the fair play rule made by FIFA to protect other clubs who don't have this kind of cash....Oh...I forgot...FIFA is in it for the money as well...Hence wanting to host the world cup every two year...In the future, players will be sold for 500M+ I am sure

You take your chance......

If they don’t take the offer I would get Youssouf Fofana from Monaco he’s a good midfielder

Man city with the assist rising up the bidding price then pulling out making arsenal over spend like crazy

West ham Have pulled Arsenals Pants down and raw dogged them. This player has 1 year left this is insane amount. Arsenal should have tried to get Mbappe with this amount fr😂they might have since its 1 year left

As a city fan I want city to back out from this bidding war , no disrespect to any one but this is ridiculous amount of money for his quality. Maxx he should cost is 50-60 million not more than that but we live in strange world where Rodri costs 60 million and Rice 110 lmao 🤣

Rice could play as a CB for City, especially in the Stones role

105 million is crazy.

City do not need a replacement for Gundogan when they already have Foden. He's a little bit more front foot than Ilkay and has gained the experience required to play weekly. The spot is his to lose.

I can't understand why we are bidding this much... We could have got 2 title winning difference making players for this amount no?

ESPN it’s £105m what are you saying now😂

If the "wants to stay in London" reporting held water, why would Arsenal be throwing around massive bids?

Don't understand the desperation for rice he is definitely not worth more than 60mil and I am disappointed city chasing after him really confused

This is what mashing the beauty of football greed.. in every league they should all ave a price tag what no agent of the player or club's can't go over! This big money what these agents are clubs is requiring is becoming distasteful now...✍🏽👀

Time for West Ham to play fair now. They have been offered what they wanted and should now be fair to the player who has always wanted to go to Arsenal.

Always knew eating rice makes you better, stronger

Arsenal bidding against themself, City, Rice is a priority for Arsenal they desperately need him while he'll just ride the bench for city, so yeah pep trolling Arteta

😂😂😂😂😂😂arsenal paying 105 for rice

I’ve been watching the prem heavily for over a decade and aside from the English player requirement why is this guy who has never struck fear in one elite side or took a team one step further than they would’ve gone anyway or won anything of note causing so much stir. He ain’t busquets and prime busq ain’t worth this amount of overhype.

What is mark talking about. Who starts ahead of rice with gundogan leaving?

Rice will be replacing John Stones and not Gundogan, it's so obvious to see.

I wonder how mancity built such a strong squad. With current market, it takes 5B to make a decent squad.

Chelsea fans hoping Arsenal to get this done as well.

That's overpaying

I dey feel like Declan Rice right now

Is enough to get Rice now

Give them 80mill and Phillips and pay half his wage

If man city can submit a bid btw 100-120 mil , then the deal is done.

If West Ham reject it, Arsenal should target Frenkie de Jong.

Ffs he's not worth half that west ham rubbing their hands

But good we are finally over the 0 buy and sell our best 2 year in year out
