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

Oh for the love of God just accept the damn thing so we stop dragging this out. I swear I'll never say a bad thing about West Ham again!

As a Spurs fan, I haven’t wanted Arsenal to sign Rice. But for that money, I’m ok with it. Great player, but ties up funds so it’s a big gamble.

Oh good, there are at least 2 of us here.

And I felt the same way. What a price tag!

Sure seems like City ran up the cost on purpose.

Was there not a comment from Declan saying that he preferred a London club compared to moving to Manchester? Or was that just a ploy to try to up the price?

I haven't saw him directly making the comment but every journalist seems to use the lines "just had a baby" and "wants to stay close to family" etc.
