Declan "Deccers" Rice

I'm not disputing that, rather the immediate outcome of him being signed would have been his suspension for the entire season.

DiabyKungFu

Think Tonali and Havertz are about the same level. The player we should have signed in hindsight is Szoboszlai. The player we should have signed in foresight is MacAllister.

If we want Douglas Luiz again, and we wanted him in the 2022 summer window then we should have just signed him instead of Havertz, his stock was about as low as it was gonna get in the summer.

daredevil because we could've lost him to someone else eg. city, and there wouldnt be many alternatives that would've helped us the way he has

Luiz would've been a trossard type buy, for midfield. would've saved us from getting jorginho as well

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Best Arsenal signing since Sol without a doubt

Rice thread on the transfer forum is comedy central

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Gunner89

No - one in their wildest dreams thought he was gonna to be this good.

I really, really wish we had Rice as Vieria’s replacement back in the day.

IBL

Sicario2 - Tier 1 you just had to see him for England to get an idea of his abilities, covers so much ground and as technically sound as you can get and also has a top attitude.

Rice rice baby

He's great at what he's great at but again putting him at the pivot means we do not move the ball forward quickly and crisply enough.

We still badly miss Partey there and our football won't be fluid again until he's back or we sign someone who can fill the role.

Let Rice be the Xhaka upgrade he's made for.

Qwiss Yeah I like him at both 6 and 8. He is a defensive machine but not a controller 6 and hardly plays passes through lines. Personally think we should buy a 6 to replace Jorginho and a proper box to box 8 to replace Partey. Rice continues to play both positions depending on opposition.

Havertz can stay as reliable versatile rotation and then keep 1 of Vieira and Smith-Rowe.

Gunner89 I've been amusing myself with a Scott Parker comparison after that non-goal a week ago. Dared not say anything until now 😅

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

World class. Monster.

Gunner89

I always knew he was good at ball-winning and covering the pitch but his ball retention is something else. He can definitely play more adventurously passing wise but I think he's told to be more conservative.

lorddulaarsenal

Gunner89 yep he’s very capable of it. Also able to surge in to the box and finish. He’s playing how Arteta wants him to.

Top tier player.

I love how you spend other people's money

Gazza M

him and wilo are looking like early POTY contenders. they have the 90s/2000s ruggedness I've been pining for

GooneriC

He's very good , and the fee was ridiculous. Glad he's playing for us and not City though.
What we need is another midfielder on that level
