Couldn't believe the reports and if their true, then whatever little faith left in Boehly I have - virtually none existent as it is - will be gone completely. We need to get someone in younger yes but selling Kante outright would be a huge error - still can deliver in big games. Fitness has been a problem but you can see the difference in our team with a fully fit Kante compared to without, its night and day. I think he could be used in the same way Jose used Maka in his last season. Be like the Matic-Bakayoko thing all over again although those two weren’t at the level of Kante and Rice. For me, Matic definitely had another season at least of use here and he would of got the minutes for sure as Conte was a huge fan. Just the financial offer was too great to say no to at that age although even Conte admitted he wanted to keep him. I am still skeptical at how good Rice will be at a top club, considering the inevitable 100m+ price. I mean his progression has been good and steady but West Ham are still a pretty pragmatic team a lot of the time. England are also a pragmatic team too. He suits the profile of what we need though. Its just if he can go and up his game and compete against some of these top top level MFers out there regularly.

Going by other reports Nkunku will still 99% sign but that source is most definitely not a confirmation of anything. Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,516 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Jude yes but what many see in Rice? 100m? Lol it's like paying 100m for Henderson many years ago. Tomo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,186 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Ooohh Reece's best mate or Mase's best mate.. If one of them do come in, they would definitely lock down a spot in the starting 11, our midfield atm is so weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 10,241 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 No chance we get Bellingham but what I found even more amusing is the lads at work genuinely think Arsenal are getting him. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gut feeling is that Liverpool will be out to make a statement signing in the next transfer window and Bellingham is the one they want.

I spent years giving the last regime the benefit of the doubt they will by hook or by crook find a way to build a new team to compete for the league but I gave up on that when they brought Lukaku back for £100m. I'm in the same position with the new regime atm but Rice's arrival especially for the price it will take will totally knock any belief in them.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Us and Arse linked with a 65m rated winger named Pepe. Quite the deja vue here… given their experience last time round, arse should probably pass here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the deja vue here… given their experience last time round, arse should probably pass here Pepê from Porto? HELL NO and no way is he worth £65m, that is madness. Porto just paid £12m for him in 2021, and he has hardly set that shit league on fire (only 2 goals and 5 assists in 1800 minutes this season, only 6 and 6 last season) plus, if we buy him next summer that is yet another massive spend on a player who he only get 3 or 4 sub 30 years out of, in his case, only 3 years, as he turns 27 next season OhForAGreavsie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
