He's on a long term deal so will get priced out of a move until 24 months. He ain't a 100m player and he ain't going to bang in double figures from midfield but he'll win championships. He's ran the game everytime we've faced them. Nah, this is his peak IMO He is good at all of those things Now stick him in a team with 60% possession and 500+ passes a game where he's getting 80 touches and you'll see why none of the top top teams are spunking £100m on him Compare him to rodri, or fabinho, or Henderson, or kimmich or valverde or even busquets, the top teams don't play with a player like Rice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Well done to Forest, had good spells and also backs to the wall in this 90 minutes. Important they got 3 points on the board early with all the signings they're making. West Ham just feels flat currently, not helped by Moyes whinging endlessly about transfers. They'll still probably beat us in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) If Spurs beat Chelsea 2-0 or 3-1 I think we'll go up a place to 8th (alphabetically ahead of Chelsea, with the same GD and goals scored as them). Come on Tottenham ! Edited August 14, 2022 by robby b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels right with his mates at the club and likes of Kante and Jorginho in their 30s and perhaps leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I just saw the WHU result. How did they play? Have the wheels fallen off there or is this just a blip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 fantastic game to watch i thought, enjoyable and forest gave a very good account of themselves imo. tough game for hammers next as they face brighton which i reckon they might lose. then its their visit to villa park, if they come to us with 0 points on the board still then we simply have to win that game. Brighton however are draw specialists so could see a 0-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had plenty of chances to score in this game, hit the crossbar twice via freekicks and open play, had a penalty saved (awful pen tbf by rice) and forest cleared a chance of theirs of the line. They look a bit disjointed and not as free-flowing as last season but i dont think they should panic, they had chances that were clear cut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's ran the game everytime we've faced them. He is playing for David Moyes. So will play in that style. He isnt quick but hes got fantastic awareness which gets him into position. Tall and strong and far more skillful than we get to see. When he goes to Chelsea he will be incredible. Got the guts and the ability. A midfield version of John Terry. In fact he will end up at centre back for a fair few years because he can read the game so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
