#WHUFC have now accepted #AFC payment structure on record ÂŁ100m + ÂŁ5m fee. 24yo England midfielder given permission to do medical & finalise personal terms @TheAthleticFC https://theathletic.com/4648727/2023/07/04/declan-rice-arsenal-medical/
West Ham going keto (:
Iâll see myself out
Annoyingly this feels like a really good signing, shores up a major area of their squad
This place needs flairs đ What do you mean âannoyinglyâ, itâs perfect you mean, right?
It seems like theyâre going to be changing a decent amount if their starters in one window. With Xhaka and Partey potentially leaving presumably they need to sign another midfielder in addition to Rice?
Timber, Rice, Havertz minimum as new starters.
Lokongaâs almost certainly gone too.
As it stands, our starting central midfield will be:
Havertz - Rice - Odegaard
With backups being:
Smith Rowe - Jorginho / Elneny - Vieira
Probably still need at least one other midfielder. I know Lokonga wasnât playing last season so good departure should be a net zero loss. But we now have CL and need more able bodies. And of our backups, Smith Rowe has been struggling with injuries, Elneny is past his prime and not competing for a starting place, and Vieira still seems to be struggling with the pace of the game every other match.
Great. I believe heâll be announced on Friday.
Man, that came outta nowhere
