Rice is replacing the outgoing Gundogan for starters and he isn't the type of midfielder we desperately need. It does royally piss off Arsenal with us nicking their prime target but it makes you wonder why they are relucant to meet West Ham's valuation when it is what they are lacking the most in their midfield.How about we wait 9 years and then compare Gundo and Rice. Chances are we'll still rate Gundo, but comparing one to the other now is meaningless...just saying.
