A good analysis of his playstyle.

He would be perfect for us in my opinion. Instantly solves the Partey partner problem.

Is he the real deal then? I've never paid too much attention to him, a friend of mine is convinced he's a massive fraud.

Why am I not surprised 😆

Speaking of midfielders, Nouri is one of the saddest what might have been stories in football.

Kyogo Furuhashi. Would be a brilliant pick up

I saw he won Celtic the Scottish cup today. Nice chip for his second goal: Streamja - Simple video sharing

I remember jones wishlisting Jeremy Doku, I wanted to mention his partner Sulemana:

While playing injured too. Incredible.

He comes from the highly rated Right to Dream academy in Ghana.

They have been unearthing some very good African talent in recent years and moving them onto Danish club Nordsjaelland.

Nordsjaelland then sells them for huge profits.

I have to say after initially dismissing him as an overhyped young English player I'm really starting to like to look of Rice. I'd defo take him if he's not too expensive.

edit: after watching a bit more I'd take him regardless.

Clrnc

He is going to cost 60m or more.

Better just get Tchoaumeni

Qwiss

I wouldn't go near Rice for the money people are talking about. He makes a few runs and some risky tackles that are great for the highlight reels but between the ears he's such a poor player.

KingslandBarge

I think he's set on Chelsea so he can do all the towel snapping in the lockers with Mount that his heart desires. I think he serves a functional and useful purpose for England's midfield and I think him in that pivot is fine. I also think there are certain things he does well, his ground coverage is exceptional, seems to have a little poise, stature and can peel off either shoulder. However it was shocking how void he was on the ball against us the other week, and its not the first time it seemed that way. Agree with Qwiss, not for that amount of money. Maybe this is a hasty comparison but he's like Guendouzi with a different set of limitations.

That’s what I used to think but I think he’s developed a lot this season. Last 2-3 games I’ve watched him he’s barely put a foot wrong. This from yesterday was particularly lovely and not all that unusual for him:

Gazza M

I rate rice too, but he needs someone really tactically switched on next to him. partey has shown he has some vacant space between the ears himself, not sure they'd work together

goon

I didn't think he's bad at all positionally, certainly not for someone his age, but maybe I've not watched him enough. He actually snuffed out a few our attacks when we played them recently. Also seems like another big personality in the shape of Ramsdale and that would be a great thing to have in midfield.

That being said, his pricetag means he's unlikely to be worth it. Linked with virtually all the top English clubs so he'll probably cost upwards of £70m.

jones

He's made huge strides since a year or two ago, definitely an interesting player. His price tag rules him completely out for any sensible club though, forget 60m-70m West Ham said a couple of times they're not discussing anything under 100m.

Clrnc

He is a very complete midfielder. Philips outshone him in the euros but he has gone up another level in the league for WHU this year.

Still, for that price money you could get 2 very good CMs from europe to better fit the squad so no. And he's unlikely to choose us over Chelsea anyway

Ricky1985

I wouldn't say he is complete, I think his technical level is low, but he is a powerhouse and plays with a lot of personality.

Qwiss

He's going to get found out as soon as he moves to a big club. Put him in the CL and you'll really see what he is. The Harry Maguire of midfielders.

jones

Yeah he'll most likely embarrass himself in the CL. He'll be great domestically though and there are a lot more league matches to play than games on Tuesday.

Unfair to compare him to Maguire though, can see why you're doing it since they're both overhyped but a lot more football in Rice than in that BJJ blackbelt of a dickhead Maguire.
