Yeah Rice isnt just a defensive mid, he can do it all.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Having a good year no doubt but £100m for a DM? Don’t think so. Interesting Moyes valued Raph and Phillips less than half of that (40m)

Gold and Sullivan are cheap and you'd like to do that deal before selling Rice if you are West Ham. As soon as Rice is sold you'll be asking for 100m for Phillips.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Thing is I wouldn't call Rice just a DM now, he's shown that he can quite easily be a box to box CM this season and get on the scoresheet.

Not sure about that only scored once in the PL. Would be excellent at DM for any of the top clubs

And that's kind of the problem we'll face also trying to sign a Rice replacement if we do have to sell him, other teams will just say double the value etc.

Wondering if we try to sign Kamara on a freebie on big wages perhaps, but that may depend on where we finish ultimately.

His play makes Kalvin Phillips look like the Yorkshire Ali Dia

Nah not for Phillips, Rice has gone past him this season even though Phillips is injured. Rice also more dangerous further up the field than Phillips is, thought Southgate had it wrong in the Euros

He has at least 4 this season in all comps IIRC, which is not too bad.

I guess what I'm saying, last season he was just playing DM, and he was bloody good at it.

This season, he's becoming more box to box and trying to influence play in the final third by running and driving at defenders, and he's got a pretty good long shot on him also.

Honestly I think he's trying to show the bigger clubs he's not just a DM in a way, and trying to add more to his game each season. He hasn't stagnated like a few of his England team-mates have this season.

You really are up and about last few days. Wonder why.

About as good a call as your Phillips “worst player on the pitch” call in the Croatia match in the Euros.

Some talk Real are bailing on Haaland. Pretty much City or Chelsea likely to be his destination next season in that case. Chelsea could use Lukaku as steak knives in a possible deal.

Dare say we’ll give it a crack too. Cavani & possible Ronaldo will be gone, leaves us with no one.

Yeah, nah. Not us.

 

[citizen-erased]

Do you think he'll stay 2 seasons Art ? Conte has form of dummy spits and quitting at the 2 season mark.

he'll hang around for start of next season. i think a lot will depend on how the summer window goes, but could you imagine if he's the manager to break the drought. Good feather in the hat

I doubt he'd want to go to a basketcase like United atm and I doubt you guys would want to get into bed with Raiola again.

True, I personally don’t want us to chase him, we need to start making ‘smart’ signings not splash big on star names and just hope it works, because it hasn’t.

Erling "my dream is to win the Premier League with Leeds" Halaand should just come home. He'll bang in 100 goals in the championship.

Borussia should just take the £150M.

Bielsa said no …prefers small squad

 

[Zidane98]

Raiola would take £80m out of that.

Raiola would take £80m out of that.

I am sure he would.

Haaland doesn't press enough.

Conte wants another striker, and he likes Lukaku.
Too bad that deal won't happen.

 

[jod23]

Who would everyone prefer if you could bring one to your team? Rice or Bellingham?

 

[SM]

Rice.

 

[jod23]

I'd go Bellingham but that's due in part to the fact we already have a superior DM in Fabinho.

 

[SM]

Bellingham would cost upwards of 50-60m as things stand and there's been a number of examples in recent years of players doing well in Germany struggling to adapt to the PL. Rice is a readymade player where you'd have a lot more confidence in what you're buying, even if it's at a premium.
