‘No Thanks, Bang Average’ ‘Another Overrated Guy’ ‘Not A Good Option’ Fans Dismiss Claims That City Could Enter £100M Transfer Battle

‘No Thanks, Bang Average’ ‘Another Overrated Guy’ ‘Not A Good Option’ Fans Dismiss Claims That City Could Enter £100M Transfer Battle

Manchester City’s recruitment team have discussed the possibility of signing West Ham captain Declan Rice, according to reports in the UK.

The England international has been heavily linked with rivals Manchester United, as well as Arsenal and Chelsea, with it being claimed he could cost in excess of £100m this summer.

The majority of fans on Twitter would be against making an offer for Rice, with many believing that the midfielder is overpriced:


While reinforcing the midfield will be one of City’s priorities when the transfer window reopens, you can’t see Rice being a primary target.

A backup for Rodri is definitely needed but the Premier League champions are not likely to pay the best part of nine figures to bring one in. There are certainly cheaper alternatives if manager Pep Guardiola wants to give Rodri some assistance. One of those would likely be former player Romeo Lavia, who has just been relegated with Southampton.
