There is another factor I believe. If we’ve not got a replacement for him, I think he’ll stay also. There is talk of Haidara, Adams, Caqueret or Amrabat but if we can’t get in a really good defensive midfielder, I think he stays.
I'm afraid he is going. Chelsea are doing their anticipated fire sale and will bid big. if Arsenal get gazumped for Rice, then they will counter offer. One way or another he'll be off in first weeks of July.
I am sure the recruitment team are preparing bids for an immediate replacement and a young one to buy now for the future.

Rice is like the plain bird in the pub that for some reason everyone's trying to chat up. The lairy bloke with b.o. and moleskin trousers (Chelsea), the dodgy kebab shop owner with the knackered jag (man city) and the pub bore (Arsenal). Until one of them finally cops off, our moises is just sat in the corner by the jukebox with half a shandy and a packet of pork scratchings, looking a bit miffed.

I don't think that's the case.

Chelsea don't seem to have any interest in Rice and are "all in" on Caicedo and seem set to push ahead now they've successfully cleared a few out of their bloated squad.

I suspect they will want to get him signed ASAP now because there could be more interest in Caicedo, depending on where Rice ends up. But, for now at least, it seems to be Chelsea's deal to strike.

The one bit that doesn't make much sense to me, is the Guardian's report that if United can't get Mason Mount they may turn their attentions to Caicedo. That doesn't seem to make much sense given the attributes of the two players.

Midfielders are definitely the hot topic so far this summer. Rice seems to be the keystone, and once he signs for whoever it will be, the other pieces will start to slot into place. Agree that chelsea are front of queue for moises, and the cash they've pocketed this week will probably ease any short term ffp concerns.

“£100m is too much, it’s way too much. This is a player who has had one full season in the Premier League.

“It’s absolutely outrageous that you would be spending £100m on a player that two years ago, you could have bought for £4m.”

Oh my god. This is the news I've been dreading for weeks. 'Journalist' DEAN JONES from some website reckons the fee is not right. 😱😱😱😱.

I absolutely dread to think how this revelation is going to impact on proceedings.

Could be more to do with the fee rather than position. At least that's the only thing I can think of.


Untied are strange though compared to other clubs. Whilst Liverpool and City sell their youth players for good fees, United don't. One case in point is they just sold a promising youngster to FC Utrecht for €1m.

United however are the best of the big 6 at developing and integrating their youngsters into the first team.

So maybe the ones which Liverpool and City sell are the ones United have more patience for.

Wasn't it Oscar who said something along the lines of "I'm not young enough to know everything"?
Mark Twain also had a great comment along those lines:

'When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.'

Why is this a discussion he signed a new deal a few months ago committing himself to the Albion for the next four years🤣😂

On a serious note when a player signs a contract I think the player should be move barred for at least half of the contract length. We shouldn’t be discussing Caciedo moving on for two more years.

It is utterly irrelevant what we paid for Moises. It is what he is worth now and to whom..............quite simple. If Brighton, Tony in particular doesn't agree with the price he'll remain here. They can whine all they want.
Exactly, Ben White cost nothing. Doesn't mean we give any sort of discount. He's a muppet

Think it is just ManU trying to get Chelsea to agree with their offer - bit of a threat
