I really rate Rice and think he's a much better all rounder than Phillips. I wonder if he would provide cover for both Rodri and Stones, in the midfield positions? That should give him a good amount of game time. There's talk Walker may leave, which presumably means Stones, Akanji (and Lewis) will be our right side defensive options, so Stones may play in a variety of positions again.

Whether Rice would want to come, knowing he wouldn't be a guaranteed starter, is another question. But had Phillips been trusted Rodri surely wouldn't have played quite as much as he did last season, so it's reasonable that Rice should expect to play a bigger role.

For everything involved to make it happen yes Rice would be a starter. The question is in what position

Its not all our budget. Stan Kroenke owns us but Josh Kroenke his son has taken over as the de-facto owner. Stan is married to Anne Walton, with Anne being Josh's mother. Anne Walton is member of the Walton family who own 51% of Walmart stock which is currently worth over 240 billion USD. We are de-facto owned by the richest family in the world (private enterprise). Type 'richest family in the world' into google and you get the Waltons looking back at you

Ever since the Kroenke's completed a full take over we have spent solid sums. No one initially noticed because we spent 72m on Pepe, gave Amumayang 350k a week and Ozil 300k a week. But in recent years we have been getting it right with our spending, and also paying unwanted players to leave, while fending off real interest in Saliba, Saka and Martinelli are giving each a 200,300,200k a week wage respectively - you watch, Odegaard will sign next. Now were offering 100m for Rice.

Most people are stuck in 2012 with regards to our ownership. They still think being owned by the Kroenke's is a bad thing, when in actual fact they were bad owners when they owned only a portion of the club. However as mentioned, ever since the full takeover we have been ramping up the spending.

Funny as a Google search actually brings up Newcastles owners family at £1.1T as the richest. Then you have our owner whose personal wealth is £17+B and his family at £1T! So no, they are not the richest family, they are not even close.
As for Private Enterprise as you put it… I think you’ll find Walmart are a public company as they are on the stock exchange. They’ve not been privately owned for a while (Since August 1972 to be precise).
I had a bet with a Utd fan (funnily enough he’s gone dark), he said Utd would win the league, at the point they all got giddy and were talking about a quad lol. I responded that not only would they not win it but would finish a minimum of 10pt’s behind city… he laughed, as did I at the seasons conclusion. I’m saying this as I’m that confident you won’t win the league next year that I’m happy to say on record you won’t finish top 2! I don’t care how much you spend, you had your shot this season and bottled it in epic proportions. Chelsea, Liverpool, Utd and Newcastle have all decided to strengthen and will all push, as will we. I’ve no idea who’ll c9me out top but I’m confident it’ll not be Utd or Arsenal.
 
Rice makes sense if we continue with the 3-2-4-1 formation. Stones is amazing but he's a little injury prone so Rice makes sense to play in that double pivot with Rodri.
