Declan Rice, is he all that?

And imagine the joy on Bunks if we lined up with de jong and the beak? Bless.

Probably the best midfielder in Europe currently, wasted in that Barca mess.....

Is he really the best young DM in the world? No chance.

He’s a big unit for that position. Not sure how mobile and agile he will be in a few years.

See Jem?

Positive thoughts please. We'll get our man.

De Jong
Beek
Bruno

The holy triumvirate. Would dominate for years.

If you don't rate the guy you know nothing about football. I don't think he's worth 100 million but he'd replace two players in our midfield and make it look easy.

He's like a robot who is good at football. He follows instructions exactly.

Found him frustratingly savvy last week. Stood out to me much more playing for West Ham there than any euros match too, though im not sure if that means anything.

Is he all that?

For me, yes.

I hope we buy him. There, I’ve said it.

Coincidence that both West ham and England achieving best results in years as he comes to the fore at the heartbeat of the team? What is he 22? Very young for centre mid still.

Some real forum heavyweights in there that’s how you know Rice is the man.

Not surprised a Chelsea fan doesn’t want him coming here.

He’s a very good player. Not worth 100m but I’m sure negotiations will take place.

This. I can’t believe he’s the best option out there inside £100m. He isn’t that good.

They'll want 100 won't get it. Though I'd give them 200 right now.

Be around 75 plus add ons.

No chance, we spent all our money in the summer. Will be another shit couple of windows

God love Fred but he's like a special needs footballer and McAnonymous, I don't know what he is. A defender for scotland but couldn't possibly defend at United. Honestly would prefer to play Jones and Donny in there.

I think Rice is good but he's only as good as, say, Ronnie Johnson sitting. He's no Keane. Still better than the jokes we have atm.

If he was Italian and called Declan Risotto people will be w*****g over him.
But he just plain Rice
Plain white Rice Underrated Imo. Can go with anything...even in our midfield

Top marks.

A big improvement but 100m is a bit silly. 75 max due to age.

Pissed about all summer trying to get a realistic deal out of wham with Lingard going the other way, left it too late now we either offer Jessie a stupid pay rise or see him leave for free.
Woodward strikes again.

Declanio Risotto, shurely?

Shocked that the anti-Rice crew seem to be ignoring this. Can only assume they missed it so I’ll try a helpful bump.

Doing what he does at 22 is no small feat - he could have that defensive mid position nailed down for a decade if he came here. Would walk into the spot tbh.

Talk of Kessie on a cheap deal in Jan today

Not going to sign a new deal and Milan want something for him.

Then get Rice in the summer.
