It's a good policy IMO.

Yeah, because certain clubs and agents like to get extortionate when certain teams come to the table. In the end you end up with a player with a big transfer fee, big agent fee and big wages. If they don't work out you have to pay them again just for another team to take them.

No love for Rice in yall England 11s?

You need some experience in midfield. While Rice has better mobility, Henderson for as much as I don't particularly rate him. He's a leader and importantly a talker. Otherwise the team is a bunch of mutes. Kane and Slabhead as your leaders/talkers on the pitch :scust:

Soon as Jones came off City ran riot, he provides so much energy in the middle, Milner doesn’t offer anything. Also, Fabinho and Henderson are our rock in midfield theyre the ones that pulls the strings and without them there we’re headless chickens with no one who can press. Philips shouldve started alongside Fabinho or Hendo and the other in midfield to provide the defensive support, Klopp got it so wrong in this one

Fair enough. Although I think Rice is a talker as well and has leadership qualities despite his young age. West Ham captain at the age of 22
