✍️ OFFICIAL Declan Rice

[MutableEarth]

Good shout, cause of how it ended I forgot.

Yeah. Everytime I think of the cons about signing Rice I think about that game. I wouldn't mind that in our midfield at all!

Do think it's much closer between him and Xhaka though, it's interesting to note that as the team has improved, Xhaka has looked a hell of a lot better and actually didn't look out of place with the rising qualities and demands of the team. Think it suggests he was a better player than we collectively gave him credit all along.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Rice will be one of the signings of the summer, not just for Arsenal but in the PL.

Feel free to bring this up at the end of next season and mock me if I'm wrong.

How underrated he is on here is criminal

 

[Rasmi]

I'd say the game vs Italy in the Euro final. Was phenomenal, best I've ever seen him play.

Italy completely dominated that game in midfield and completed almost twice as many passes with 66% possession.

He’s not underrated in the slightest it’s the opposite, he’s firmly overrated always has been.

OnlyOne called him an Arsenal legend not long ago.

 

[Red London]

This guy is clearly quality with a couple more gears to go up. He has been a shining light in a terribly ****house West Ham side over the last few years, and has been their best and most consistent player in times of struggle.

He can go up 1 or 2 levels in terms of his technical ability and passing range under Arteta in this side IMO.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Actually think Rice’s conservative passing could actually suit us more than TP’s dynamism in quite a few instances.

Feel sometimes with TP he tries to force the play too much and his passing becomes erratic, which leads to end to end type games. Don’t get me wrong, it’s brilliant when it comes off, but when it doesn’t it causes us big problems as TP is not at the level of the top guys defensively.

I think Rice at DM allows a more attacking LCM option as well.

Considering Europes top clubs are in for him, it would be a massive statement if we can pull this off. Fingers crossed.

Ross Barkley without the injuries.

Tall Lee Cattermole.

A slightly less inbred Jay Spearing

@Riou must be sick.

Underrated?

You hyped Mudryk.

How about a joke from this century grandad?

 

[Halcyon Daze]

Underrated?

English tax aside, explain why he’s overrated then (ignoring the clearly sarcastic previous comments). Why are Bayern, (I hear are in the “top 4 in the world”), interested?

Bayern signed Marc Roca.

“He’s overrated on here!”

AM every time Arsenal are linked to a player with a big name… or any player at all for that matter

How the **** would Bayern know what arsenal are willing to offer? This bloke talks utter bollocks.

 

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

"Bayern is aware that Arsenal should be willing to pay around £70m " he doesn't know anything about Arsenal.

Yeah he’s the German Kaveh Solhekol ffs.

 

[TromsoGooner]

Great update from Fab. Can`t wait for stuff like this daily the next three months

 

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

in the transfer's winter, nobody believe we will spend too much money. But we submitted the first bid around £60m for Mudryk (a young talent) and £70m for Caicedo (who had only one good season).
With someone like Rice, Edu must understand £70m is not enough for the first bid.
