Am indirectly gassing up their most hated player Rashford by liking a video of him humiliating our best player just to prove the point that even the best midfielders get sonned, all for a player we might not even be linked to in a few months.
Just highlighting that Rice got skinned by a genuine world-class player while irreplaceable Partey was skinned by Gashford whoās clearly crap.
So yes, I am absolutely going to call our own players crap if it means I win again in the transfer window by constantly battling everyone elseās opinion but destroying our own players.
In what world is Rice clear of Partey lol? Put down the crack pipe my man.
Where did I say that?
Pretty much my thoughts and I do agree with one of my favorite snacks @Nacho.
Saw and debate other day which I didn't chime in on, but Rice>Partey everyday even on God's day, Sunday.
People have been asking for a top #8 to Xhaka's place. But where does that leave Patino's path? At most he should have one more year on loan and then join the squad.One consideration to make when thinking about midfield is if Patino is going to be given a chance next season, stranger things have happened.
IF heās as good as people make out, long term the best way of transitioning in from Xhaka maybe be brining Patino in.
Patino, if good enough, will force his way into the team. Now if we need him to be on the level to be a CL and PL player it's hard to say he's ready. Cesc was doing it at 17-18. Bellingham has proved age is only a number.One consideration to make when thinking about midfield is if Patino is going to be given a chance next season, stranger things have happened.

I think ultimately he will need another loan, maybe to the PL and then see from there.
Definitely looks a player but the step up is huge.
Rice for me, as I've said before, is a no brainer if the fee is 80m or less. Can cover a multiple positions, is a very good 6 with room to improve. Will be able to rotate with Partey and Jorginho as and when. Can fill in for Xhaka any number of possibilities.Yeah, Iām not advocating him being a starter, just that heās someone to consider when thinking about midfield.
Thatās why I think Rice makes a lot of sense, in the short term provides an option at LCM, but long term will be the DM and will vacate that position to the likes of ESR/Vieira/Patino if they reach their potential.
He'll need another year or 2 on loan first. (Unless he makes a big jump)One consideration to make when thinking about midfield is if Patino is going to be given a chance next season, stranger things have happened.

In my view, Patino needs another year on loan. He's done well at Blackpool, and they have played him. If he is to continue his development, he needs games. I'm not convinced he will get that here next season.One consideration to make when thinking about midfield is if Patino is going to be given a chance next season, stranger things have happened.

ok letās watch England n crazy week and tell me if those two are worth 200 million pound. Bellingham has only played in bundesliga and itās hardly a serious league. Itās been a while someone outside of Haaland shined from that league.Rice for me, as I've said before, is a no brainer if the fee is 80m or less.

If we take Jorginho out over the 2 legs and put Rice in there we win the match in my opinion.
Anyway....league or bust.
I've seen the figure of Ā£110m for Bellingham floated about in the news. If I were Arsenal I'd be trying to sign him and Rice for a combined 190-200m. Then have some tough conversations with Xhaka, Jorginho and Partey.
Kevin De Bruyne?L

Bellingham has performed in the CL and international tournaments too. You are paying for potential anyway, and he shows more than most.L
