It's difficult to improve massively when you're already one of the best teams in the country. It's about making marginal gains when you're at that point.
Let's not forget timber is injured and he would have been a key player with zinchenko injured.
but so far I don't think Rice is playing like a 100mil player
—
That’s because he’s worth about 40m in reality
Rice has been fine he was our best player against Palace. Havertz is looking like a mistake already which feels harsh after only three games but the whole team is unbalanced just to get him into the team. He's not a midfielder and never will be he's either playing upfront or not at all. That 65 million could of been spent on high quality competition for Saka which is what we need.
Rice is a decent player, no more...English hype as per usual. Kai the same, doesn't offer much but decent. Not players imo to take any club to the next level, good additions but not making your starting 11 any better.

Rice is about thinking about the future ultimately he will replace Partey at the base of the midfield. It's forward thinking that your club could do with given your recent record with trying to recruit a cdm.
Rice is the most overrated English player since that other staggeringly overrated English player and his best friend Mount. In Safegates eyes there Zidane and Gazza, but let's be honest here, when it comes to the crunch and those 2 laughably average, privileged, preferential treated twosome start you know we ain't going through.
100 million😵🤯🤣🤣
60 million🤣🤣

Ouch agreed though he’s mega overated
Rice has been brilliant and I wish we'd paid more for him just to further wind up the idiots that spend most of their time playing FIFA or debating football on Twitter with 12 year olds that think the only important players are attackers.
We've not had a player like Rice since Highbury, just does not lose the ball and covers every blade of grass, seems to protect the entire back 4 all at once. You can see he is still playing a bit within himself too in terms of risky passes and dribbles but that will only get better with time.

Played a nice defence splitting pass to get Nketiah in against Palace. Give the bloke a chance in a more progressive environment. He's played under ultra negative managers for club and country.

Fair point on managers. I don’t see an awful lot in his locker to suggest there’s more to come,, he’s certainly not going to be peak Pirlo. Which is fine, it’s not his role anyway.
Havertz is a downgrade on Xhaka as an 8
West ham lose rice beat Brighton away 1-3
Arsenal buy rice and draw at home to Fulham 2-2

Not sure this is as funny as you think it is
Id go with Havertz £65m for the bantz, that is looking a disaster
Maddison at £40M or Rice at £100M?????

Why are people talking about rice? He was good yesterday.
