Declan Rice

I think it was clear to people yesterday the ability he has. England captain material.

I don't think he has a place here unfortunately with Rodri
 
He will be the scums number one target in the summer perfect for the way they going to play under the worlds best best manager!

I’d love him at city him and Rodri’s playing around 30/40 games each a season will make them play till around 37/38.
 
He's a good player, but he isn't as good as Rodri so we don't need him as he isn't going anywhere to be a back up player.
 
He would come and play 30/40 games get well paid win trophies and have a career that will last 3/5 years longer.
Not sure he'd get 30/40 games. Rodri would, leaving about 20 for Rice, unless he played centre back. We just don't need to spend that kind of money in his position.
 
Think he's average at best for England but good for Moyes system at West-Ham. Think he has another level or 2 he could reach though, he has the potential to be very good but is probably stifled somewhat by being the sit-back midfielder. A bit like Yaya at Barca, all that talent going forward but told to play CDM.

I'd take him to play next to Rodri but not ahead of him in that position in our midfield.
 
Could he replace Laporte (if he was off)? Rice seems like he'd be a great defender and could drive forward with the ball but has he the quarterback passes that LaPorte has.

Some games they’ll play in the same game together and with us we always getting injuries. So game time be no problem.
 
Not better than our current midfielders and makes no sense to bring him in whilst we have McAtee and Lavia desperate for game time.
 
Still don’t see the player some seem to rave about so much.
Still stick to my opinion I said on here months ago that he’s at his level. He wouldn’t improve us at all and he certainly isn’t anywhere near Rodri which I read on here a couple of time’s yesterday that he was.
He’s a good, solid, hardworking player. If he’s the best player at West Ham over the last 30 years as @BlueHammer85 claims then the bar must be set low.
 
He’d be the perfect replacement for Fernandinho without a doubt.He’s looked a lot more dynamic under Moyes playing more of a box to box role. That said, he’d be another £100M signing and we don’t really utilise that style of midfielder anymore. With Rodri having the holding role on lock, and being better, I’d rather we look at Bellingham who could more naturally replace KDB or Gundogan.

when clubs are sniffing around for him around the 100 mill mark and he is a permanent first team player for England. I don't think it's much of a stretch to think he's one of our best players for a long long time.

Nobody is sniffing around him for the £100m mark. That may be the over inflated price you’ve put on his head but expect him to finish his career in claret and blue if that’s what you think you’ll get for him.
I don’t want you to misinterpret this as me not rating him, he’s obviously a very good player. I just don’t see this world class midfielder that others do. I see a player who’s at his level, a team fighting it out for top 4 on a regular basis.
His competition in an England shirt isn’t proof of him being exceptional either imo. We’ve got plenty of fantastic options in the attacking options, not so much in the defensive midfield. He’s the best of an average bunch so not surprised he’s getting picked.

well, Pep rates him anyway - Asked about the Hammers’ improvement under David Moyes, the City boss replied: “What I saw is the rhythm increased a lot on previous seasons. They have fantastic players like Declan Rice. I am a big admirer of him ''

I rate him. I’ve said I rate him on several occasions. Maybe just not as high as some others.
You can add him to a long list of players Pep has praised highly since becoming our manager.

Couldn’t have put it better. More a Yaya type than Rodri but not as good as either. Have been impressed by his improvement though.
