Ultimately down to whether Arsenal can hit high levels again. Improvement is evident this season but the gap between them and the “top 3” is still huge
Don’t think Rice would fit at a big club as well as you’d expect. Very adept at bursting forwards into space with the ball. Little opportunity for that as part of a “top club” playing against banks of defenders. Same feeling with Phillips too, albeit different play styles

24 Nov 2021 09:55I rate Phillips higher at the moment purely on versatility but Rice is a few years younger so will get better. Phillips would be a good fit for Liverpool with Henderson and Thiago being 30+.South Coast Royal wrote:I'm not sure that Rice would command such a high fee as £100 million even if West Ham think he is worth that much.
Personally I rate Kalvin Phillips higher because of his more accurate passing (essential for a top grade midfielder) but again as the big bucks tend to get paid for strikers and creative midfielders/ goalscorers I can't see anybody (even big spending Man Utd) paying that much for Rice or Phillips even if that type of player is desperately needed by them.

24 Nov 2021 10:32It has been suggested that this might happen at the end of this season with Leeds preferring to sell to them rather than Man Utd (after the Cantona and Ferdinand transfers proved a bit too successful!!).6ft Kerplunk wrote:I rate Phillips higher at the moment purely on versatility but Rice is a few years younger so will get better.

24 Nov 2021 18:28Why would he go to a second tier PL club ?6ft Kerplunk wrote:Leeds getting relegated, Phillips going to Man Untied and the subsequent reaction of the Leeds fans would have me chuckling all summer.

25 Nov 2021 13:20He doesn't strike me as a Pep style player, I think Guardiola would have to change his teams style of play to accomodate him.paultheroyal wrote:At £70m Haaland is an absolute steal with remainder made up in his wages.
Surely he knows where he is going. Premier League has to be the place right now.
Surely what happened with his dad rules out Man Utd surely? Then because of the links to that, and money they must of saved, he has to be going to Man City surely?
