[David Ornstein] 🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal have tonight submitted a massive offer to West Ham for England midfielder Declan Rice.
Proposal is for £100m + £5m in add-ons - would be a record for a British player as #AFC try to agree deal with #WHUFC for top target @TheAthleticFC
Makes sense from a poker perspective but fuck City for making us ante up like this. We probably could have gotten away with 90+5 or something similar, but noooo, can't have nice things.
I honestly think they have been sticking to their guns ever since they won their trophy and bumped the ask from 90 to 100. We played our cards right and this should get it done. If not, we should tell them to fuck off
We should actually express interest in Caicedo so as to appear to be pursuing other options. They might not believe it, but we have to do something, I'm so tired of being a transfer punching bag.
Never thought I'd see my club move like this. If West Ham don't like this then fuck em.
Seriously, like even a year ago I never thought that we would be going in for a £100m player.
can't wait to smash them into relegation
Yeah if they say no to that then fuck them...
This has to be it. West Ham can't possibly expect us or City to go even higher.
If they don't, they're just fucking with the market and their player lol
Arsenal gonna pay more than 100m for a player. What a time we live in.
No more frugal AFC😆
Holy shit. This is actually happening 🦀
Obviously, not a serious bid.
Should have offered £100,000,001 + 5m
I've been adamant Rice was signing for us and this bid really gives me belief in us getting this deal done in the next few weeks
🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
I'm fine with this number, but I really hope he can hit the ground running.
Omg it’s happening
Also, I love how 90M was unimpressive but 105M is "massive", it's almost as if they were always going to treat anything under a hundred as insulting.
