Don't really want him. Rodri is the best holding midfielder in the world, and Rice isn't technical enough to be one of the no 8s next to KDB, Bernardo etc. So are we buying him as a CB? unclear...

If Bernardo goes, I'd much rather we get a creative playmaker in than Rice. Like him for England, but not for us

Rodri will burn out at this rate can’t play 50 games a season.

I find it hard to believe that we're in for Rice.

We're normally a lot swifter when we do want someone, and there's normally no 'expecting a bid' as media generally finds out about it once its been submitted (or, more pointedly, agreed).

so we're buying Rice as a 100m backup?

Smokescreen for Ward Prowse.

No. As part of our 'two world class £100m players for every position' policy

Double smokescreen for McTominay.

I’d like to think at this stage we are already clear what we want the midfield to look like.
