You might be able to make that claim if he has a standout season at Arsenal and has them pushing for trophies. Not sure we can make the argument just yet.
Again, just to reiterate I really rate Rice and would have loved to see what he could do here.

We spend £100m on Grealish who gets similar numbers…Why did Kalvin Phillips end up at City? Why are we even looking at spending 70mil on a player with 3 goals 4 assists?
He went and won the treble.
Because paying 85 million or whatever for a player totally out of left field who was at best 'good' for west ham last season may impact on our ability to invest in true targets in coming years. If we are testing clubs resolve to hold on to their better players for silly money why not be in for Guimares from newcastle?What’s with the obsession with the fee , the markets fucked anyway

Not to win the league, no. The Champions League, however…Devil’s advocate but we won 2 PL’s in a row without a striker, so we didn’t need Haaland?

Rice is top 3, he didn’t have to play at a top club to show that.You might be able to make that claim if he has a standout season at Arsenal and has them pushing for trophies. Not sure we can make the argument just yet.

To be fair, thats mainly because his main competition for a spot in that England team is Kalvin Phillips, a player who doesnt even play football anymore.Apart from Kane probably the first name on Englands team sheet.
If you don't rate Rice then that's on you.

While i agree, its fun to discuss/debate? The money men will worry about it but i suspect Pep is pushing this and it will get done.

Guimares would be 120 mil. Newcastle are in the champions league. Markets fucked it’s not going to decrease. Players will have to run down their contract
He’s in and around the argument for sure. You might even be right and as I’ve said I really rate him and would have liked him here.Rice is top 3, he didn’t have to play at a top club to show that.
I’m not entertaining the thought of him being WC just yet though.
