Rice rumour factor sparks up again

Barely a week goes by without The Sun claiming that Declan Rice will be on his way before much longer.

This is the same Sun which reports that David Sullivan is getting married when he’s not and tun a variety of other stories which have yet to come about.

This time it’s Manchester City who apparently have their eyes on the skipper after the mainstream media have been unable tp see him join Chelsea or Manchester United.

The reason is that Fernandinho  – having signed a new one year deal – will be on his way next season and as predictability goes that one is as easy to pull out of the hat as it gets.

Declan’s advisers apparently want a release clause inserted into any  new contract he signs with us or to be told of any offers as low as £60 million.

But the reality is tht were City to want the 22 year old they would certainly have to pay something close to the £100 million plus that David Moyes has been insisting upon.

In fact it’s probably more likely the case that with Chelsea and United failing to enter the fray, City are the best next bet as far as The Sun is concerned

We’ll leave it there!
