Come on Arsenal get the Rice deal done
Funnily enough I was watching tactical videos of Jurrian Timber before Arsenal were interested in him (some research on him for my brother who's a Man Utd fan back when Utd were in for him). He's the player I'm most excited about for next season. 🤞
Don't believe for a second Man City think they will get Rice. That bid seems like it's just enough to force Arsenal to spend more money than they want.
Martin Ødegaard will leave next season just like Alexis Sanchez.. Reason: Arsenal fail to buy quality players and win trophies. It’s not about Arteta
If buts and maybe are the Arsenal transfer way with plenty links thrown in 😂
Don't know why we can't get Sandra Tonali instead and half of what Declan Rice will cost
Tom I’m so glad that my valuation of Balogun is the same as Arsenals . I would Jack it further to 65 😂
Hi Tom! Realistically, how long does it take to pack for a 2 day trip vs 2w/2m yrs 🤷♂️😜
DR…just to irritate Westham….offer £100m +£1 and quickly pivot to other players 😂🏃♂️
Golf- 72 holes in one day is MAD…it ain't golf after 36 holes…unless you are just hitting balls without completing your scoreboards…golf demands high levels of concentration…how you can even imagine this is beyond me🤞
Enjoy your holiday/ short break🙏…whatever happens with DR debacle will happen…you'll just report on it🤞😜😂🏃♂️
Have a great time in Denmark mate, beautiful country
Thank you for your incredible input, Tom! It is always a pleasure to watch the show.
who has said the City bid has been rejected?
Y do people keep saying it's theirs to lose??? And wen they lose we complain. Smh. STO SAYING THAT!!!
Arsenal need to make the exact same offer City did and let Rice choose.Put W.Ham in the powerless position.
The "longest day" is June 6th…
ahh Romano has tweeted it, right well… AFC go £90m + £10m OR I'd explore whether they would do cash + one of Nketiah or Balogun. Both Academy players so cost nothing. Getting
Eddie off the wage bill could help plus he'd start every game for West Ham.
£75m + Eddie?? Anyone?
Excellent tactic @Balogun, about time we played the game properly, made no sense to sell for 35m or under when other players have done less and been sold for more 😏
I'm not sure if Arteta really wants Declan Rice. If he does. The deal would have been completed. West Ham was only playing game of bidding war by claiming Man City are interested. This is to get Arsenal to panic and cough out the money. Declan Rice is great but I don't think Arteta felt he could bring what he wanted into the team. That's why all these procrastinating.
Arteta rang pep said put in a silly bid get my team to get the finger out get this done 😂
So we are to believe that David oinstein got a call after 10 in the night saying city bid for rice???😂😂😂 I don't believe it one bit
Looking to me like when the Rice deal is finally done he will be vastly over priced.
The positivest note of all was that late one!😅
At this point I want Arsenal and Man City to pull out of the deal.
Let’s see if West Ham will make stew and eat with Declan Rice.😂
Could be interesting to move on both Nketiah and Balogun and bring in a striker that brings a different option like Hojlund?
Let’s match City’s bid and top it with a dollar 😜
Hey Tom, question regarding the hats, will you be doing an all black one again?
How far is Declan Rice move to Arsenal
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
The amount of ignorant fools who cried the other day that big clubs pay everything up front, they don’t negotiate, they just get it done and apparently Arsenal is the only team that operates in this manner.
Well, well, here’s City doing exactly the same thing as we did and nobody is shaming them for lowballing or negotiating. Lol.
Get real… let us look at;
Man City can bid £150m …and David Sullivan of West Ham will accept ..
Arsenal 3rd bid is only £100m ..and the structure is OK.
So What about when Declan Rice says No..I want to remain in London. Play for Arsenal.
Why? Because Declan's wife with young baby, wants to remain with family and friends in London. So Declan either stays in London or go to Divorce Court and lose seeing his young baby and Wife and lose 75% of his future earnings to his wife and child …
So West Ham are Snookered… Either accept Arsenal ..or be stuck with a player who idies not want to play fir you and whose transfer value will decrease by next Summer …😂
Seems very quiet on sambi .pepe .trustey .cedric and veira ,surley, these players need to be moved out of the club this season .surplus to requirements
The end credits can have a bonus 100 likes from me
Havertz is a really underrated signing. Odegaard will still dictate the game with Havertz being another willing runner to exploit the space Jesus leaves behind in a way Xhaka simply can't.
😢 miss the 8am streams as I work from 7am 😅 but I still make it here COYG
Hi Tom 4 me we wont get Rice 100% we're to slow, we need D. Dean back to any deals done weve onle got Kia done coz no one else wants him we, re probaly lose out on Timber pissing around. Fort WH wanted Balo cost us nothing so 75 & Balo but no still F around, so F, frustrating
Tom i keep hearing he only wants Arsenal so why dont he burst into Sullivan's office & say listen Smuck a 3rd bids coming, exept it or im staying & runnin my contract down & go to Arsenal for FA so no more shite u greedy man, do it now.
You’ve been watching too many Marvel movies
Morning Tom.
My son-in-law left to get the yacht prepped for the 2200 nautical mile race to Hawaii.
Up the Velvet Hammer.!!! (YB Races app the Transpac 2023 race if you have any curiosity.)
Rice. Yes. No. Maybe so. ⚖️
Tom with the Marvel-style end-credits scene. Well done. 😂 Enjoy your time in Copenhagen!
