Gunners

I think no bids news is good news for us.

As it stands ours is the only bid in front of west ham. 75+15.

I believe Edu and Stan have given Mikel their word that they will match whatever city bid, hence no new bid from our side. Arteta’s only task is to convince rice that we will come for him and that he must choose us and the fee will be the same.

Rice is holding up his end of the bargain and city don’t usually bid without the player wanting the move.

West ham will get impatient as they must sell rice this summer, and call up man city, who will pull out and they will accept 75+15.

EXCL: West Ham have accepted Arsenal’s original bid of 75+15m add ons for Declan Rice after Man City pulled out of race. Declan Rice crucial in stating his interest to go to only Arsenal. Personal Terms not an issue, already been agreed. Mikel Arteta key in convincing the player. #AFC #WestHam 🔴⚪️

Or I might just be too high and up way past my bedtime.
