Alex 35595 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I think Rice only has 1 year left on his contract. He’ll still cost a lot of money like 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 9973 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I'd love him here but he's a London boy and I suspect he'll go to Arsenal. (and yes he's only got 1 year left and everywhere seems to report he'll leave WH this summer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22177 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Does anyone expect a fantasy signing such as Rice, Bellingham or Osimhen? It hasn’t really been our style so far. Maybe the extra revenue from champions league and new sponsors will change that but I suspect Howe will continue to target less spectacular players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll stick to Botman/Bruno/Isak level players; respected, well scouted, bags of potential 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35595 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Is that Slinky-Milinkovic on a par with Rice? I’ve never seen him play tbh but I know he’s highly rated. Someone like that for about half the price seems more like the policy we have. Although I suppose a lot depends on our final league position 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46064 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I think we would be more willing to pay a £100m asking price for Rice - he's a proven PL player, so you know exactly what you're getting. Way less likely that we sign someone for £100m from abroad. Having said that, we spent £63m on Isak which is getting up there. Having said all this, I think he'll have more trophy-ready options than us anyway, so I think it's academic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20758 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Rice would be a mega statement signing. But like Gemmill said 'trophy-ready' is what he will be after. Albeit he's still only 24 he will no doubt want pretty much sure fire final fighting teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play different roles, and Milinkovic Savic has 4 years on Rice. MS is more of a number 8/box-to-box/Mezzala-type midfielder, Rice is more number 6/DM/Regista*. *---> Safety Wink Safety Wink<--- 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off your description, I say we buy both I'd love Rice and he's young enough that perhaps the next move doesn't have to be the Man City one, he's got time to take a bit of a risk and join us instead? I dunno, it's hard to make an argument for him joining in the fun at Newcastle, when he could comfortably hold down a starting position at any big club in England and likely a few options abroad as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
