Player Valuation: £35m
Your post is a textbook example of what delusional thoughts looks like. Hes playing European football, highly rated and valued near 100 million and you think a team that just battled relegation and had a 2.5 million summer transfer spend last year is in serious competition for Declan "Mike" Rice? The scenario you described wouldn't even be plausible in a fifa gameIsnt his contract over in 2 years? West Ham want to cash in. Offer them 75 mill plus a few we want to offload. Haaland came for 50 mil to city, sterling for the same to chelsea. No need for crazy numbers I say.
I dont see us climbing out of bottom list with 20 y old '5 year payment'' deals at all. We wanna be a a big club or thats what a 500 mil stadium should aim for, then lets have it at the Rices of this world. If not, see our other prospects lke Gordon walk out too.
