Declan Rice

Didn't Rice start out as a CB, maybe Peps gonna play Rice as a false midfielder. Start him in midfield, dropping to defence. The opposite of Stones, and yet the same.

Deliberately didn't use the words CB or DM as they sound too prescriptive for Pep

I think exactly that will happen if he arrives

I do wonder how much is PR nonsense sometimes to keep fans happy. I used to think that was false but it definitely goes on sometimes so you could have a point.

bingo

We are going to be a team of 9 false 6s, a false 9, and a false keeper. Everyone sprints to mid pitch circle when we have the ball.

As long as the Manager is genuine.

Rice ?

Buy 90M worth of Rice and disperse said rice grain by grain to all the people of the world (raising my goals) so that each gets 1 grain. Feed the world! ##

If that still isn't enough - cut the grain into small enough portions until my original poor joke works for the love of God!

Some bluemooners are posting that Phillips will be gone if Rice signs. I'm not so sure. How many players have we bought and then sold 12 months later since Pep arrived?

Not many but there are always exceptions.

think Phillips would have been put in a Bid for rice if he was leaving imo

I mean, club wise, he didn't achieve what he wanted to. He scored 22 goals in 58 games. That isn't Messi standards, in a worse league as well. He also got booed by their fans at the league presentation. That's not a success in my eyes.

I was being sarcastic due to him winning World Cup
