I'm down for this. If you mods are migrating maybe sticky a post with the link over on reddit?

So, do we think Rice gets done today or do we have millions of tweets saying it's basically done but no one announces it until these stupid internationals are over?

Thought we might like a discussion thread, otherwise god only knows were everyone is going to post their hot takes when rice inevitably signs later.

So are we going to have a discussion thread on here?

So the BBC says PSG are open to selling Mbappe rather than lose him for a free.

Just how much of a cat among the pigeons is that going to cause and how fucking lucky are Spurs that that basically takes Kane off the market?

I have a secret weapon.

If I forget I'll just blame the mods for not automating it...

Also it should probably be at a better time than just 'I'm awake and we don't have one yet

There's definitely an 'old reddit' charm about it but like anything the users are the draw.

Man basically got a paid holiday to Barca for a season

Yeah 'I use the official app, it's fine for me, what's the problem' just shows the mods really needed to put up an explanation before going dark.

If he wants to play for chelsea for more money there's not much we can do other than wish him just as good a start to his career there as Cucurella and Potter

To be fair, he did win them a Champions Legue final.

Hopefully he can for us too.

The interesting thing about the quotes I've seen is '£60m "all in"'. Which suggests this is press fuckery to add more to the valu than they normally would when reporting a transfer (basically th opposite of how Haaland was done)

So assuming you remove bonuses for winning and who knows what else it could be considerably lower.

I'd take him at Jesus costs as he's not on his last year of contract.

Buyin him is one thing actually paying the lad is beyond us unfortunatey

Interesting, thank you

Edit: Wow there's a lot of NSFW subs on reddit

You know we're back when the man who was the Sun's chief football writer during the Wenger years and ghost writer of Arry REdknapps Autobiography feels the need to pen an entire article on why he can't understand why Rice wants to join Arsenal.

I sort of feel like we're missing the hot takes so... I really don't ahve an issue with chasing Castagne.

He seems solid, the Belgians still play him and literally no one has come out of the Leicester defence with looking good so I'm prepared to say it might not be his fault.

Remember Ramsdale was relegated twice.

You forget that American owners don't 'go all in' in the same way as people expect oligarchs and nation states to. Stans money didn't buy this championship, in fact he's going to be making huge amounts of money out of it in pretty much the opposite of what you're expectin him to do at Arsenal.

On the other hand this concept of young hungry coaches/managers being given the support to do theri thing with an equally young and hungry squad seems to be a hallmark, the only problem is that there is no US equivalent of Man City in the way.

We can but dream!

We've seen this before with Bale and Modric.

Levy has finally worked out that when teh only thing keeping you competitive is a world class goalscorer then selling them to buy four lesser players at overinflated prices (because everyone knows you're loaded) just fucks you.

He's worked out that Spurs can't convince anyone Kane's level to join them for any amoutn of money so no money is worth him leaving.
