Maybe the club will somehow manage to pull off this deal by the end of the transfer window but it is almost bewildering that we do not seem to have a Plan B or an alternative option for the defensive midfielder position. If we end up not getting Rice, then what? Are we just gonna be happy with a half decent-half arsed midfield for another season again? Seems daft that we are seemingly putting all eggs into the Rice basket.
Well, the event has started but as always, the actual draw doesn't happen until after all the nonsense talking...

Just saw these stats in the club's app - Werner had 59 touches against Spurs, which was the most of any player in the front four, and had 3 successful tackles, which was not bettered by anyone.
If anyone is interested, Pulisic is on Twitch right now. lol

I missed it but apparently, he said he is fit and ready to play earlier.
Not saying you're wrong but while it's all good saying "I'll wait till XXXXX before judging Lampard", if the results and performances remain inconsistent and there's no progression, more questions will be asked and the pressure will increase A LOT before we even get close to December.
Rotation in League Cup games was to be expected anyway since it's the norm but are you really gonna tell me the chopping and changing in league games, for example, have been helpful?
