To be fair to the spammers Rice is under contract and they can place whatever value they like on him (much as we did with Kane). He is in my opinion an exceptionally good player and he is home grown which always adds a premium, if he was to agitate for move if they miss out on Europe it maybe more difficult to hold on to him but not impossible as we proved. However I am not sure that Gold & Sullivan will able to resist if they receive relatively large offers for him.
I think that they're in a strong position, as there'll be multiple teams pushing to sign him.
They'll be tempted to cash in though, as he's got 2/3 years on his contract.
 
Is "stupid money" codeword for Martial ??

It's codeword for 'entire summer budget on one player'.

United's problem, especially if they don't have CL money coming in, is that they have a huge number of players coming toward the end of their contracts and very few marketable assets in general. Their wage budget will be pretty huge with the likes of Pogba, Martial, Lingard and Cavani departing at the end of the season. But their transfer budget?

Of their players on long-term contracts who aren't the wrong side of 30, Fernandes and Sancho aren't going anywhere, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Bailly and McTominay aren't very good, Varane has injury problems and Henderson is probably taking over from De Gea.

Which leaves Mason Greenwood <yikes>

The mess there will take years to solve. If they put all their eggs in a Rice basket, it'll solve one area but do nothing for the situation at RB, AM, ST and CB.

Mike "****" Dean has said that West Scam fans sent his daughter death threats and threatened to petrol bomb his house after he sent off Thomas Soucek against Fulham last season after he elbowed Alekstander Mitrovic in the face

That is completely unacceptable. Petrol bomb his house by all means, but leave his family out of it
