Rice would be a real pilau of strength

Agreed, I've been very impressed with him the past couple of seasons and while I think he would be a good player for us, his price tag should rightfully rule him out of a move to anyone this summer.
It's not a slight on him, as I'm not sure any DM is worth paying £100m+ on in world football.
This signing should be vetoed for that celebration - against Kidderminster.
Oh I don't care about celebrating a last min equaliser, was just the cringey MJ impersonation.
Agreed. So incredibly cringey. Worse than Maguire's vs Albania.
Yeah, that genuinely annoyed me.
Honestly, players with ambition need to learn from it and don't sign contracts longer than 3 or 4 years or at least demand buyout clauses in the contract.
Top marks. That’s curried favour with me.
After City set the precedent for a young English talisman with years left on their contract, why would West Ham accept anything under £100m for him this summer? I really can’t imagine either Chelsea or United paying that.
He's obviously class and would be a great signing if money was no object. But at 100m and with the amount of things we need to address... We really should be looking at some of the free signing options this summer, and look to get Rice later on.
Grealish transfer is an outlier and shouldn’t be considered for this transfer.
The talk of 100 million is just to increase his value and the west ham board is clearly playing with that. We’ll place a bid not more than 50million + a player (maybe) and if thats not possible we will look elsewhere.
Because as long as ralf is here we’re not going to spend crazy in market due to his excellence in transfers.

The guy is a born leader. He needs the big stage too aka International. Blows Fred, Jessie, Bruno, Mata away. He’s got the best years ahead of him. Hardest part will be prising him away from London and Chelsea
None of the players you might think of would be interesting enough for Weat Ham. Almost all our players are overpaid, completely unrealistic for a normal club like West Ham. They will want cash and only cash.
Apparently he went and showered with the Kidderminster Harriers team after the game...
I am not sure about that when Arsenal paid 50M for Ben White in the same summer. English player is very expensive.
If anything we're to blame for spending so much on Maguire and Wan-Bissaka. We've supported this agenda.
I really want him here, I think he is perfect for us.
Agreed, he's world class no doubt about it.
Keane reincarnated. A must buy, and I think we will.
60mil + Phil Jones should do the trick! 
Anyone see his Overlap interview? Seems like he’d rather go to Chelsea
It would take a lot for Chelsea to make this move, they'd have to give up on Kanté. I think in the Overlap interview he was just being brutally honest. He's a Chelsea fan and that's that.
Probably not unreasonable, he's 31 in march and has had a lot of injury problems - not sure they're going to stop either.
have to admit I didn't see it, but I don't care how he celebrates if he scores for us!
I think we should have gone for Kessie on the cheap. Rice would be excellent for us but everybody has a price where they become not worth it. Bissouma would also be a good signing at the right price.
Feel like West Ham will regret this obvious PR stunt in the press with Moyes constantly referring to money.
He's going to leave in 2 years on a free to Chelsea as a 25 year old, after perfecting his trade.
I'm not entirely convinced this is nothing more than a purple patch for West Ham as a whole and naturally when the next knocker of the 'Top 6' comes, they descend into the abyss of mid-table normality.
The likes of Rice, Bowen and Diop in particular will be in demand, and if they aren't achieving Top 4 at West Ham they will seek moves. It's the nature of the beast.

Rice is a great player, Bowen is skilful, impacts games and runs his blood to water every match, but Diop, really!!! Did you not watch him get taken apart by Kidderminster and hauled off at half time. He is West Ham's 4th choice centre back and even that is questionable now.
Good player that has likely priced himself out of a true move at the peak of his career. No way should we yet again make fools of ourselves in the summer, there are a great many footballers around Europe, and we need to get away from this idea that only the highest paid English ones are any good.
Don't get me wrong, would have been great for us and has excellent attributes, but we need so many changes that spending all summer arguing with WHU about Rice only to make a past-it Kante our best paid player on deadline day feels very on brand for United.

yes he’s full of it for sure; but there’s no reason for them to lie about that, they have had loads of world class players on their channel and they both singled him out as one of the best if not the best they had on.
The only way he prices himself out is if he signs a contract extension. He's out of contract in 2 years and will be 25. If he carries on performing as he is, he'll be just fine and free to go wherever he fancies!
Man United should be looking at Bissouma instead, top player and wouldn't be quite that expensive
Hi and sorry golden_blunder. Keep up the good work

Bissouma is a very good player, but there are also some intangibles with the Basmati Busquets that I can see appealing to us. This is a future United captain and someone who raises the level of the team, in addition to just being a good player. But yes, if we couldn’t get him, and @golden_blunder allows it, then Bissouma wouldn’t be a bad alternative.
His signing would definitely be a big Dahl for us.
It’s amazing how many people want to sign someone with a sexual allegation hanging over him despite greenwood. As long as he’s a good player it seems. How the club looks and behaves doesn’t matter

Poor @golden_blunder will have to start taking out adverts or something to raise awareness. I think half of your posts for the last six months have been "Bissouma's actually a wrong 'un"
Most West Ham fans would carry Diop to another club themselves. He's shite.
I know, it’s amazing how many don’t knowPoor @golden_blunder will have to start taking out adverts or something to raise awareness. I think half of your posts for the last six months have been "Bissouma's actually a wrong 'un"
He’s a bit of a dish too hmm
