NikkiCFC 5,851 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Looks like the interest is real. Not sure how much I rate him especially as CB but reports saying we want him to play there. He spent 8 years in our academy. New John Terry? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoroccanBlue 3,479 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Refuse to believe we will buy him and take the effort to grow him as a CB when he's already showed signs to be a good DM. Buy him and get him at DM. Would be great to have another club youth product in the XI. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what we have seen lately with Azpi-James situation and new signings like Werner, Ziyech and possibly Havertz not sure we will have any academy players in the XI next season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Kante 716 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Only way I see Rice coming in is if we can offset some of the cost by sending Wet Spam a Dross Barkley, Batsh*t or Drinky or something. If he could be had for say £30m plus Dross, then I am ok. £70m cash is madness in this market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kellzfresh 7,211 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I didn't think we needed him before. But looking at things, Lamps is looking to play a Defensive midfielder and two Box to box midfielders like Madrid have done so successfully with Casemiro - Kroos, modric and City last year with Fernadinho - KDB, Silva . That way we can Accommodate someone like Havertz easily in one of the midfield positions. Kante just cannot stay fit, so a Declan Rice with his physical presence and passing would be a perfect deputy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, the boy is now desperate for minutes so he will probably need a two year loan where he plays week in, week out. For me, he/we should benlooking to send him a Brighton/Brentford (if they come up)/Bournemouth (if they stay up) (i.e. ball playing lower PL team.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Special Juan 26,008 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 If Rice wants to leave that will force the hand of the club, the pressure from him and the offer of two players from us maybe too good to turn down for them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tonali only wants to go to one club, Inter, and I will be shocked if ends up costing half of Rice, I expect Brescia to extract a lot of cash for Sandro. They are saying €50m at a bare minimum. https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/calciomercato/2020/07/18-71889002/inter_avanti_per_tonali_ed_emerson/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't too sure about Rice but after watching him consistently for the last 5-6 games I am starting to become more and more convinced that he would be a good buy for us. Problem is actually getting hold of him. I reckon it will require Rice putting in a transfer request and Moyes still having a boner for Barkley. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
