Declan Rice

[Dazzle84]

Opinions and all. But I don't think John is a better midfielder. Just plays on a better and more expensive team.

Rice has better vision, better technique, and his way more comfortable in tight areas. All factor that will make him look exponentially better in a City side.

Rice has better technique than Stones? Not sure I agree with that.

It'll be interesting to see what Rice looks like for a more attacking team next season, not good enough for us IMO

 

[brazilians hurt]

Rice seems a cracking lad as well mate and we have seemingly changed to wanting too English players in the last couple of seasons? Southgate would love Rice to work with Pep imo as well

Pep does the work developing them & Southgate/England get the benefit. It seems JB22 didn’t get the email though

has a cheeky bid ever worked in the history of football? I dont even know what a 'cheeky bid' is. its one term that needs to be retired from the football lexicon

What about your bid for Suarez?
What was it? 40,000,001
I think that's as Txiki as it gets...

Rice looks ok in a bad team. He lacks pace and I don’t see who he would replace

 

[TheBlueCat]

In your present situation, are you guaranteed top 4?

Have a better chance than Arsenal I would say

we dont need rice if we continue with the formation/tactics of pushing centre halve/fullbacks into midfield...Stones, Rico Lewis and Rodri have that DM position covered between the 3 of them and Rice for me is an average player who we will over pay for purely cause he is English.

If we ignore the cost/price he is still an average player with no stand out qualities that any other players already dont have.

As a squad player he would be ok cover playing against the lesser teams.....

Would it worry me if he went to a competitor in the league of CL - no

Yeah, even though ive read countless comments on this forum from City fans saying Odegaard is a perfect long term KDB replacement. Its all in my head

Not in the same league pal: Didn’t get a kick in any of the games v us. Think he was hooked in all of them for being shit. Pretty average tbh. Is well suited at your place with the chokers. Oh, you can have Rice too, Another clogger to sit with Party, clogging and generally being poor.

Difference is KDB turns up in the big games, Odegaard bottles it and goes missing

Well I have never seen someone reply to themselves Bluecat..but good on you mate..I agree..wish some of these interlopers would fuck off to their own forums..there have been a few really nice posters from Sunderland, Everton, but these Gooners are just wind up merchants.

He is at this time but Rice would be a huge player at Arsenal

He would do well there IMO too...
