Can any of the Ed's let us know if we have any plans B C regarding Rice, it looks as if we are just chasing Rice and if we can;t get him we may not have anyone decent to fill up the place? I may be wrong and like if someone tells me what we are planning/ doing about it?

{Ed002's Note - Yes, Arsenal has options.}

I know it’s big money, but Arsenal need to just bite the bullet on this one. My fear is Arsenal just don’t entertain bidding wars so it’s frustrating we put in a 2nd bid quite frankly everyone knew wld get dismissed when we could have hit this deal over line all ready. What’s your thoughts ED? Think we F this one up?

This is only conjecture, but maybe Mik/ Edu could see Thomas Partey has an eye on the exit door this summer. With Xhaka virtually certain to return to Germany, this leaves only Jorginho and Elneny (maybe Kiwior) to anchor midfield. Would the 100m+ be better spent on Declan Rice, or something potentially like a Romeo Lavia/ Manu Kone combo?
