....but the fact is he didn't.....and no one is saying players like people won't feel the need for a change.....but something kept him here even if that deal didn't come off....

There was a time in the late 70s when Brooking was very close to leaving. Man City apparently. Plus ca change.

Definitely not Coffee nor Trev either they both deserved to win even more than they did. Football was a more localised thing when they played out their careers.....now it's about other factors outside of the game as well as inside it.....we are just not part of the group of clubs that can have control of some of these factors.....

If Rice captains us to Conference League glory, he is 100% a WHU legend, regardless of where he goes in the summer.
That fascist moron Di Canio is regarded as legend despite winning the square root of fuck all with us.

What qualifies a player for legend status?
Length of servuce?
Games played?
Big goals in bug games?
Personally, i would go for length of (active) service.
Alan Taylor won us the fa cup in 75 but played less than 100 games for us. Yet i dont see him as a club legend.
Like most of the shit on here, they'll be many different views on this and i fully expect to get called a cunt for my opinions. :-)

Madrid or City if we are to get the asking price or possibly United and that’s the priority along with how we spend it. Thing is though spending any money while Moyes is at tge helm is a huge risk because as Jasnik mischievously points out they may join the 6 or 7 we got last year on the bench. The DOF idea might work to get the right players, Moyes wont play them unless they fit his team or football philosophy which seems to be 7 CB type players ( not athletic ), 2 old fashioned wingers ( inverted ) and a big battering ram up front without much skill or technique to run the channels.

Are you being serious? I couldn't give a fuck where he goes and what he wins, makes fuck all difference to my life, once he's gone he's gone. FMOB have a word with yourself if that will effect your life in anyway, you sound like a spotty teenager in your mum's basement.

I neither care where he goes, all this oohhhh I hope he goes there, what a load of old lavender that is, the fella isn't a legend by any stretch. As said, it's just about getting the right price, and if no one stumps up the asking price then he stays, the same as Kane did at Spurs.

I don't care where he goes, but let's not pretend that we stay up this year without him. He's been great but once he goes, he's just another player. The important thing is that midget getting the best deal for west ham, not how much arsenal want to pay

I think most West Ham fans would be proud to see him turn out for Real Madrid.
I won't, I will be indifferent, once he isn't wearing the West Ham he will be just another player.
I think Rice has been very good for us, but I don't buy into the legend status or he is one of us. Although I think he is very good at cultivating that image. As others have said he is Chelsea. I don't blame him for that. It is what it is. His image helps him to achieve his ambitions which are obviously not West Ham-centric.

even though he dominated a key part of that midfield (kroos) and goretzka (bayern munich) a couple of years ago. stop watching football

I think that too. Arsenal are not the team of old. They may be in five or six years time with successive trophies but, right now, they are still a side in transition and potentially emerging from their recent years of mediocrity.
I said to my Arsenal mate that, right now, I think it would be a sideways step for him. Whilst said with a little tongue in cheek, I do genuinely believe there to be some truth in that. They aren't yet trophy hunters again. Rice will go to a trophy hunting club and if he doesn't then I think it's a sideways step.
I do think Chelsea, with Pottechino at the helm and the Yanks billions, could very quickly become highly competitive again very quickly. If they do business quickly in the summer and replace Rudiger and get a striker then I could see Rice following.
Alternatively, Man City will be looking at Madrid getting Bellingham and worrying that Rice could follow him in. So I reckon they will make a move.
Not sure why media have got such a hard on for Arsenal right now? On TS today they are saying Arteta has targeted Caicedo and Rice and the club are preparing a £180m move for the two. I don't see how they are saying this and keeping a straight face. There are other clubs who will have alot to say about Caicedo and Rice going to Arsenal.

WE sell him, get in three loan player with a option to buy.
Then play Souchek and Downs in the middle for the whole season.
