West Ham boss David Moyes is open to selling Declan Rice in the summer, irrespective of which division his side are competing in.
However, he will demand at least £90m for the 21-year old England international. (via C&H) pic.twitter.com/Xzky13SI1m

Why is this man in charge of our football club.

The fact that David Moyes is open to selling Declan Rice in the Summer shows how clueless he is about management at PL level. His openness to selling Rice shows he should not be West Ham manager.

Worse thing the club could do, need to build a team around him. Can’t keep selling your best players, it’s got to stop

Would £90 million for Declan Rice represent a good deal for West Ham?Yes, that's a lot of money for himNo, need to keep our best players |
During this season, the £49.5-million rated midfielder has featured in 27 games for the Irons in all competitions, during which he has not scored, but assisted once (per WhoScored).
Of those 27 appearances, 25 have come in the Premier League, during which the 21-year-old has an average rating of 6.94/10 (per WhoScored), leaving many furious with the transfer revelation.
He’s only a temporary manager he shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions like these…

No manager is ever open to selling his best players. Classic board spin.

Please no! Love Dec – his drive and passion for us! Don’t sell him we need that!

What do we think?
While many West Ham supporters are clearly against Rice being sold, if the report is to be believed and Moyes would take £90 million for the youngster, then that may not be a bad deal for the Hammers.
The Englishman is currently valued at £49.5 million (as per Transfermarkt), so, £90 million would be a figure well above his value and considering Rice came through the youth academy (per Transfermarkt), the profit would be huge.
