200mils on Rice and Havertz, wow. It's like when I go to the shop in Brexit Britain, buy some crisps and a drink and it comes out at £5.
Yet somehow a bargain compared to Antony and Sancho

Waheeeey, fOoTy BaNtA!!!!Yet somehow a bargain compared to Antony and Sancho
Fwiw i probably rate Rice higher than 99% of this thread and have said all along he’d be a great signing. They’re paying too much given his contract situation but who cares really.
Crazy how the Havertz narrative done switched tho. Shout out my man @SCORCH

Paying too much, and for us it actually does matter(FFP, takeover mess etc), but still, good signing.
If this was 2021 I'd be very annoyed but a lot has happened since then.
12 months of horrendous form and wage demands that don't fit his current standing in the squad.
I could genuinely see a player power issue with him developing so nipping that shyt in the bud early and moving on suits me.
I'll @ you when 60m + add ons is confirmed.
Erroneous @ since it's 55+5.
Maybe the Assana lads can help me because I still don't get what the plan is with Rice tbh, he's not a 'DM', he should be replacing Xhaka, but if he does who's replacing that overrated rapist Partey?
Another thing I do wonder about is the defence.
Timber would be a nice addition but he plays RCB/RB.
Show they have no faith in that Patrick Bateman on Love Island vibes guy Ben White, no surprise there, but where are the left hand sided defenders?
Gabriel is decent but he can be a liability. Zinchenko is another liability out of possession, gets cooked. Tierney...just hasn't happened for him, mid table player.
Oh i do wonder.
Agree Rice needs a ball player next to/around him, but that can be at DM. A deep lying player + Rice is the way to go.Rice shouldn't replace Xhaka. He can travel well with the ball but he doesn't the passing range to play that role for me.
Clearly brought as a DM that's why we waited on pulling the trigger on selling Partey.
Timber is being brought in to cover those positions with White nothing to do with not having faith in him. He's just had a great season.
Kiwior wasn't brought in for no reason he is the left sided Defender.
I suspect Tierney is getting sold and Tomiyasu will cover LB and across the backline.
Agree Rice needs a ball player next to/around him, but that can be at DM. A deep lying player + Rice is the way to go.
If Arsenal's midfield next season is Rice Xhaka Ødegaard then it's a big no from me dawg.
I would bet my life that Arteta tries Jorginho + Rice.
And on LB, all i hear is players covering, if you had a top one you'd be serious contenders again.
