Still a no from me. Didn't shine in the game against us. Would be good at the Rags or Chelsea (lesser extent at City) but not an outstanding player and wouldn't improve them that much . As for Pep he is also known to overhype players as well the rest of us.

I tend to agree, I’m just not seeing it with himStill a no from me. Didn't shine in the game against us. Would be good at the Rags or Chelsea (lesser extent at City) but not an outstanding player and wouldn't improve them that much .

We won’t be signing Kimmich or Casemiro. Rice definitely is among the other very few who could do the job at our level.Not good enough for City, a back up to Rodri at best and a long way behind him on talent, we can do better.

I think he will prefers move that closer to his home and chelsea will be the most likely destination. His childhood mate in there also helps that too.

He is not going to pick a move based on where his friend is. They have been friends regardless of playing for different clubsI think he will prefers move that closer to his home and chelsea will be the most likely destination. His childhood mate in there also helps that too.

He didn't say he would. The fact it is Rice's boyhood team, the academy where he developed, his home town etc. there have been constant and persistent rumours that Rice wants to go back to Chelsea.He is not going to pick a move based on where his friend is.

Mount would just be the cherry on the cake.

He might as well move there as it’s one of the best destinations currently for any player, I just never buy these personal reasons unless it’s at the end of their career. We’ll see thoughHe didn't say he would.

Rice will not want to come as back up and who really knows Rice is Pep's choice? No-one on this forum really is privy to that. I would give any promising youngster a go in that role along with Rodri.We won’t be signing Kimmich or Casemiro. Rice definitely is among the other very few who could do the job at our level.

Hes not that good that he would be worth the fee required. we can get just as good if not better for a whole lot cheaper. Hes a decent enough player but nothing special.
Who mentioned the other two players?We won’t be signing Kimmich or Casemiro. Rice definitely is among the other very few who could do the job at our level.

Not signing them doesn't make Rice a better player, currently he would offe City fuck all.
And as for your point to the other bloke, Rice is ex Chelsea and would be going 'home' to play with his mate, I think that is the more salient point rather than saying he wouldn't choose a club to play with his mate.

Yes, if Rice went to Chelsea you could spin the narrative as “he’s going home” or whatever. But he could also go to another club just the same. If Pep calls and says “you would be very important to me”, he would be tempted.
In an ideal world, we don't need another "Rodri Type" midfielder, who will rarely play due to reason that Rodri is the best and can't be rotated that much.
For this purpose, Pep should sign an "universal" like for example "Jorginho" or "Frenkie De Jong" - who will play DM as well as other positions in midfield.

But he won't say that because he is shit pal, you can reply and we can go round in circles all day long, now that is undeniable not two players you dragged out of your own mind and mentioned in reply to Rice would not get in this City team.I mentioned the other two players as they are undeniable.

Spin the narrative lol I couldn't give a shit who he goes to as long as it isn't City and certainly not for 70m lol I'd rather give Lavia first go at being the cover man for now anyway.
If only it were that simple!
It could happen he’s had a massive fall out with Bayern over Covid/Vaccinations.

I can't see it happening any time soon but wouldn't it be exciting to see Roméo Lavia given a run out in that position?Rice will not want to come as back up and who really knows Rice is Pep's choice? No-one on this forum really is privy to that. I would give any promising youngster a go in that role along with Rodri.

He did not. Yes, the club did not like that he was not vaccinated - which club would like the bad publicity about it and when a player missed 2 months of matches because of that. First because of the quarantines as first contact being unvaccinated (vaccinated players did not have to) - later on because of being positive and having problems afterwards. But Josh knows that he has made a mistake that cost his team.
He was not against the vaccinations - he just had his doubts. And already had his vaccination scheduled when he got Covid. He for sure did not like how the story went - starting with the quarantines because of not being vaccinated - and for sure not what the media and the public made out of it. I do not think he really was aware before how much his "importance" has risen in the recent two years - especially with the We-kick-Corona campaign - and what behaviour that includes. He was surprised that the media even followed him to the funeral of his grandfather and that the media asked questions to people in his hometown - Müller is used that since 2010...
Kimmich is the designated future captain after the oldies are gone - that position did not change.
