There wasn't really anything in the interview to suggest that Eddie was after Declan Rice in particular.

 

It'll be interesting to see where he goes and for how much. The elite clubs look well served in that department already, with Enzo, Rodri, Partey, Casemiro. Liverpool maybe?

 

I don't think it'll be us though.

Liverpool don’t have 100m.

Aren't him and his family all Chelsea fans? I could be totally wrong, but maybe he would prefer to stay in Landan. He might have little choice mind, with his mental price tag.

Arsenal may well be looking at a DM, for reasons…

 

They are linked with Rice in the Times today - but that might be just because they’re playing each other.

They've been linked with him for a while and it's his most likely destination imo. He'd be a great fit there and could replace Partey or Xhaka in their XI.

If we do move for Declan Rice I'll be fascinated to see how it breaks down financially. Hopefully not just a Maddison style two bids, fail to budge and nothing happens situation. He's gonna cost huge money and I just don't see it happening.

 

 

 


I agree. In many ways he’s the perfect signing for us but the transfer fee and wages would be astronomical. He’d want way higher than our highest paid player and that then knocks everything out of kilter. I’m not saying there’s no chance it happens but I see him going Arsenal or Chelsea (his boyhood club) or maybe even City? I think we will probably opt to spend 35-50 on a midfielder (e.g Edson Alvarez at Ajax) allowing us more financial room to sign quality in several other positions. Either way though Champions league qualification really does make the summer very interested indeed.

There aren't many worse situations for a young player than Chelsea this season. Dysfunction, three managers, and tons of talent to compete with for regular playing time.

True, Chelsea is a mess. But would he be more than a rotation option in our team? He is not better than Willock/Joelinton or Bruno, so would fight for the third spot with Longstaff, who has clear weaknesses, but is using 30-40 million on Gallagher the best option to upgrade Longstaff? Not sure about that.

I don't think he'd fit into Arsenal's style at all. Rice has his qualities, but I don't think he's a great passer of the ball, and doesn't seem to go in for the short, quick interchanges that Arsenal like. And the Arsenal midfield has Partey, Xhaka, Jorginho, and Odegaard, with Smith-Rowe coming through. Unless they have him in mind as a defender, I don't see any space for him.

He's pretty much as good at passing as Partey is imo and Arteta is a good coach so will improve him further. Rice has never had a particularly amazing coach in his career, so there'll be loads of room for improvement with him. His passing is underrated anyway because we don't see the best of him for England - he has an 87% completion rate despite attempting a lot of medium and long passes. 

 

A club like Arsenal will probably be desperate to phase Partey out. It's not good for the brand.

We’re not signing Rice. We need around half a dozen quality players, including around 3 first teamers. Even if we could sign him, you could probably get Thuram/Ugarte, Pedro, and a good left back for what he would cost.

Exactly. We’ve scouted smart so far and avoided the trappings of headline signings. Long may it continue as far as I’m concerned.

Aye, agree 100%. 90/100 million could be much better spent

100m is not too much if he has the chance to become our Keane/Vieira/Essien.

Arguably the most important position on the field.

Aye, chuck Maddison alongside him as well £150 million well spent.

Brozovic from Inter could be gotten for very cheap, especially if Inter don't get CL football, as they are in financial crisis, and everyone knows it--so buyers are waiting for their owner to admit defeat before putting in bids. It could be a fire-sale there. Brozovic is one of the most underrated CDMs in the world.

 

I think there's a big cultural difference between Italy and England how players like him are viewed by both fans and clubs. Italians see a really good mature player who'll be useful for couple of seasons, the English see he's +30 and cross his name from the list due to being only a short term fix with no resale value. Maybe Casemiro being such a huge hit will change the mentality of some clubs in England too.
