Bags of energy and heart and passion, but nowhere near consistent enough to be classed as one of the best centre-mids in the league. Not saying he's rubbish by any means, but he's just alright.

Happy Blue Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 We are spending big this summer and with the 10th overall net spend in the Premier League and being the top earners in world football finally surpassing Real Madrid for the top spot we can afford too, our treasure chest is quite large and we have players to sell too like Bernardo & maybe Cancelo that would cover Bellingham's transfer fee on it's own, next season is going to be exciting, we looking at Leao, Saka, Grvardiol and maybe a left back that can defend lol, the team needs a refresh and we are going to get it Ederson Lewis - Dias - Gvardiol - Cancelo De Bruyne - Rodrigo - Bellingham Foden - Halaand - Leao or Saka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will disagree with you gents about him being overrated. Despite West Ham struggles his fbref is better than last season when things were going right for them. He is tarnished by a poor team or manager. Declan Rice under a Pep, Klopp, Arteta, Ten Hag and even Howe would unearth his full potential in teams that don't play pragmatic football. what is the issue is price and he will cost a pretty penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love him at Newcastle I didn't say he's not a good player. He's just not anywhere near worth what West Ham or the media thinks he's worth. I'd obviously take Rice right now, because our midfield is absolute shite right now... but if we sign Rice in the summer it's just the same situation as signing Nunez this past summer. We don't just need 1 player to fix our midfield at this point. I think we need at least 2, and if we get Rice we're probably not going to be getting 2. I doubt we sign 2 midfielders over the summer though. Probably just the one and that'll most likely be the extent of our summer signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Chelsea have shown UEFA up as posers all talk no action. FFP was primarily premised on stopping clubs with rich financiers using their owners wealth to substitute expenses, to stop owners creating personal indebtedness in the event they get bored and leave the club is not beholden with debt. Chelsea in one window have spent more than 3 years of net income. there needs to be limits on credit buying, 12 month maximum payment plans to stop clubs gambling on possible future success. credit buying has also created hyper inflation as teams take payment plans for much higher capital over time, removing credit buying period will drive markets down as smaller clubs will suffer when they try replace the players and get shafted by astronomical demands. I was watching the deadline day docuseries and seeing how agents work deals, footballers are nothing more than slaves glorified slaves that need to perform at the slave market so they can be sold for entertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Independent contractors aren't slaves either And I'm not sure they fall under a typical independent contractor relationship either. Either way, you can't say people paid millions have a life that is in any way, shape, or form, like slavery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
