I know we all sorta expect this to get done but I would prefer to wrap it sooner rather than later. Easy to be hasty when it's not your money though.

I expect West Ham are just waiting out City, and it'll put the ball with Rice who will hopefully maintain a steadfast commitment to play for Arsenal.
I'd be surprised if we go much higher, especially if the player is set on us. It is not a lowball/disrespectful bid that would be insulting to player and team, and thus make him willing to see out his West Ham contract. West Ham don't have anything to gain by moving quickly, after all.
Hopefully, just another couple of weeks of back and forth and this will be settled not much higher than this bid.
My best guess is the add-ons is CL qualifications. Hence why Arsenal consider it achievable while West Ham don't think so.
I have a feeling that if no one else comes in for Rice, we will get him under a £100m
Well that was a fast bit of news... on to the third bid.
