I sort of agree with Luke here, he should not have said that, even tho we all the know the reality of money talks, but he could have said he's loving his playing time at West Ham , has just sidned a lenghty new contract and at the moment he's a West Ham player and happy at being that...If he wanted to add what he said, he could have said that it depends on what the owners want to do.. Pelle, IMO rather keep ur mouth shut...
But then he's just spouting the same hot air other managers do. Since we all know it is true, I honestly fail to see why you think there is anything wrong in him actually telling the truth.
Presumably he was asked a direct question. And answered honestly. We all, including journos, know the truth. Whatever form words he used in his reply. Bit of a storm in a teacup imo.

It would come up constantly.
If he'd said
“Declan is not for sale, he is an integral part of our project & the winning culture we are trying to breed.”
we'd all have known that the subtext was, 'unless a big club comes in with a big offer', so why bother pretending?
Pretending that isn't the case would be treating us like we were stupid, imo.

My favourite line: 'I have watched the prices of some players who have gone to clubs recently and they could not lace Declan Rice's boots'
Good stuff.
