Declan Rice

[Temptation]

Arsenal just put in a 105 mil bid for Rice.


Reckon Rice would suit Barca pretty well.


This video sums up his game. Add Leadership and a mature personality to it and that's Declan Rice.

105M£ for CDM is insane

Young af, National Team regular and future captain, homegrown player hence the English tax. Basically add 30 mil to what he's actually worth.


Remember how much Chelsea paid for an inferior player Enzo?

Enzo is a better player than Rice.

Wonder who Man City will go for now.

 

[fergus90]

Gareth Barry was a better player than Rice.

We’d have sold him for mega money today

 

[Andresito]

Kevin Lasagna and Massimo Maccarone both better than Rice.

Not a chance. Enzo was mediocre last season and has done nothing of note in any top 5 leagues.


Based on what?

Rice has much higher potential. Don't forget his age.

Quoted cause no one else would.

When the deal was made, Enzo looked much better in CL and World Cup, was much younger at the time, had bigger hype and had more offensive output than Rice. Enzo is more of CM than CDM and likely to develop into more advanced role.

Also he was overpriced as Chelsea wanted him in January, Benfica was willing to lower the price if he stayed. Also doubt Rice is willing to sign for 53 years contract as Enzo did.

Watching them last season makes it clear who's better as of now.


Yeah ofcourse goalscorers go for more money but Rice has more to his game than people give him credit for.

Enzo did pretty well considering he moved to a dysfunctional team mid-season in only his 1st season at Europe without knowing the language or the country.

Don't really see the point of comparing both Enzo and Rice as they compliment each other if they play together and have different roles to the team, but Enzo's profile is rarer.

No one is claiming Rice is bad player or won't be a good addition, but the price is just ridiculous tbh.
If he succeeds and became a world class starter for Arsenal for next 7+ years, no one will care about the price, but if he fails it will be the type of deal that kills a project tbh

20m more than Maguire. Not a bad deal to be fair.
