Surely not? I knew something was off when we made just 1 bid that was the same value as arsenal 2nd that got rejected. Perhaps we’ve told West Ham to keep firm and then we swoop in to close the deal? One can dream lol.
I have no opinion one way or the other, but it's obvious from those clips that he can become a box to box midfielder. He carries the ball well. I'm sure he doesn't or didn't do it a lot. But it's clear he has that skill and a good Manager on a team that controls a higher % of possession might unlock that potential.I only got halfway through, but I note Rice performs well against particular teams and set ups.
I didn't see one clip of him against City or similar when I cut off.
Tchouameni ain't going anywhereIf Arsenal get Havertz, Rice, Tchouameni, Timber, and Cancelo it's hard to see how they are not legit challengers.
And that currently is their goal. They seem to be 3/5 of the way through.
I think its a good move for him and a good move for them. Vastly inflated price but a good move footballing wiseSome blue's here seem bitter he went to them.
Is it maybe because we were interested and people now assume it would then be a done deal?
I think for the most part, if we were never linked/bid and the rags and dippers were fighting over him, most here wouldn't raise an eyebrow.
People seem bothered about another club getting one of our targets, more than not over paying or being shafted.
A decent enough footballer, but elite? Nah...
Probably Cancelo as swing fullback. Timber probably starts on the right.Tchouameni ain't going anywhere
And canelo improves them going forward but they'll be fragile with Zinchenko on the left and Cancelo on the right, they like to play with 3 defense first defenders in the back 4

His arse. If they sign those 5 players, they're failing the Premier League FFP.Sorry but where is the Tchouameni to arse coming from, or are you just speculating ?
Tchoumeni? Cancelo? First isn't going anywhere, since Madrid considers him the future, Cancelo on the other hand first time I'm hearing him being linked to Arsenal.. I heard rumours about Barca but they now have different target for RB position.. But I agree, Arsenal will be scary with this summer signings and will probably battle City for the title again.. But still in the end City has a stronger side, 4th title in a row is my prediction for 23/24 PL..If Arsenal get Havertz, Rice, Tchouameni, Timber, and Cancelo it's hard to see how they are not legit challengers.

It would be if he'd stayed with Irelandlol looks like a messy paddy field here.
Arsenal can strengthen as much as they like but they still lack the mentality to be challengers again. They had a unique season just gone with Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea all having a mare of a season in reality. Now add in to the mix Newcastle and the CL and I suspect they’ll struggle and be fighting top four rather than top two.Tchoumeni? Cancelo?

Hmmm liverpool and chelsea a mare of a season yes but I wouldn’t be lumping the rags in with those two,but I agree with the rest of your post ..Arsenal can strengthen as much as they like but they still lack the mentality to be challengers again.

Arteta on an all night bender day before, puts a daft bid in whilst pissed and mid way through a curry order on Uber Eats….next day wakes up to the news that he’s only gone and bought Rice….when all he wanted was the pilau with onion fried style from his local takeaway…….ooohhh fuck, some serious back tracking required!,lol looks like a messy paddy field here.
After spending half a billion,and winning next to fuck all.......the hypocritical cunts need to get their act together,as they now have fuck all excuses for their sparse trophy cabinet,or anything to all to get all high and mighty about.
I like Rice,a shame he has signed for such a cuntish outfit.
That's more accurate.Half billion!? It’s actually 620m
