I don’t think City are interested in Rice enough to pay the 100m asking price. To us, he is worth it and I have no problem with us paying the 100m, but City have shown that they have some restraint and won’t overpay for players (Cucu last year).

If other teams were as interested as some would have you believe then shouldn’t they be worried about how far along we are in the process and shouldn’t they be throwing their bids on the table before it’s too late?

This is one transfer I’m not all that worried about and I think it’s just a matter of when, not if.
