You got the wrong person -:)

imo, the list of players suggested is delusional all because arsenal finished second. West Ham have had a better season.
 
He's more than likely going to Arsenal and will be a good signing for them. Would be interesting to see if he does the same role as Xhaka - more of an 8 than a 6 - and how he develops.

You might be right, but how good will it be ?

I'm not trying to downplay it by the way, just curious how you think it will gel ?

I think it's unlikely Arsenal sign Rice and Caicedo as it's very defensive. But if we did it would be the idea of overruning the opposition midfield, improving our press resistance, cutting out counter attacks, winning the ball back higher up the pitch and generally being defensively way more sound. I think that's the general idea of buying Rice anyway as he probably doesn't play as a lone 6 pivot when Jorginho is probably a better deep playmaker. A leaky defense was Arsenal's biggest issue last season and I don't think it's just on the defenders by any measure. The midfield was getting bypassed too often.

Going forward would Rice be as good as Xhaka? He's very good technically looking at some of his training footage but whether he can add that to his attacking would be the question mark.

Absolutely he will. Guess potential is ojust one of those things you can see or you can’t. To me it’s bleeding obvious that he’ll be more progressive in a more attacking team with a top quality 6 alongside him. He should set himself double figures as a goal scoring target and I’d expect him to reach that if he’s released from his defensive duties and well coached. Will be interesting to watch if he does sign for Arsenal. I think we’ll end up regretting not going for him.
 
Official now.

I wonder who the 4 clubs are:

Arsenal
United
City
?

Not sure city need him but it all depends on what happens after the final.
 
If he doesn’t want to leave London there is only one club he be going to and he ain’t guaranteed trophies or top four there!
 
Id take him in a heart beat. You have to remember he's been playing in a West Ham team with their players managed by David Moyes. You give him time with numerous world class players and the greatest manager there has ever been he'd do wonders here.

Thats no disrespect to West Ham I was cheering them on last night.
 
Thought he was destined for Chelsea but guessing that ship has sailed.

Assuming we’re still spending big on a DM/CM, I’d prefer Caicedo. Barella and Kessie others to consider.
 
Can't see him going to scum , think they will go all in for kane , they like an aging striker at the swamp !
 
I think Arsenal and Chelsea are both looking at Rice and Caicedo with each team getting one of them. We may change that race.

He's an excellent player, don't think he makes us stronger though. Not better than Rodri or Stones. As an attacking player not better than anyone we have and not good enough to replace any, Foden would be a better replacement for Bernardo. He's far too good to just be a squad player.

We will have that issue with pretty much every potential incoming player. That isn't coming to replace an outgoing player, at least.
