    Great move if we can do it for that price. Was expecting closer to £100m+20m or something.

    Will be the biggest signing we’ve had since Ozil and it’s not even close.

      As gross as it is, in a Chelsea/United skewed market £92/102m isn’t expensive at all for a prem-proven, young, English midfielder.

        Highest interceptions in the league, most transitioning dribbles and least injuries, £100 million is a steal

    That’s the same price that’s been mentioned for months. It’s a very fair price for that we’re getting.

    Honestly, if we can wrap up Rice and Caicedo, we’ll have the pretty much won the lottery.

    Watch us actually meet their fee and get this done rapidly… never thought I would see the day we don’t try to haggle.

    Same price as Bellingham seems kinda cheap ngl, I rate Rice a bit more for his profile. I guess he’s older, but I’m totally fine with that price.

    Damn that’s a pricey move. Seems like a good replacement for Xhaka but how much will we have left for more incomings?

      Depends on outgoings. 10-15 mill for Xhaka is pretty much a given. 35 - 40 million for Tierney seems likely. Similar or more for Balogun. 10-15 mill maybe for Nuno, Holding and Cedric combined. Those I can think of on the top of my head. Finally I think we will see us making some money on outgoings, which will be nice.

      Edit: Forgot we are also getting 6 million from Monza for Mari, because they stayed up and there was an obligation to buy given they weren’t relegated. Also Patino might be sold. Should maybe fetch 10 million with a significant sell on or buy back clause.

      Edit2: Also the Leno clause. 2 more million pound, since Fulham weren’t relegated. Same next season meaning he can amount to a transfer fee of a whopping 6 million pound, if they don’t get relegated the coming season.
