      I recon Arteta wants Caicedo over rice, we have already gone for him in January which is telling. imo Caicedo is the better player with the higher ceiling and will be cheaper than rice. Only thing rice is better at is his leadership skills, Height and Homegrown.

      Foden and KDB will use Declan Bread as practice match for the real challengers next season in Newcastle and Brighton and maybe United

      If we don’t make this ‘crucial’ signing, will there be any accountability? Oh no wait I forgot this is aftv and the malteser who owns the channel says things like ‘must win game’ and then when we don’t win, there’s no accountability. No accountability ever from this channel besides for Turkish and Curtis. Always peddling the positivity agenda.

      We need a no.6 and an 8 with a bit more creativity and goals than both Caceido n Rice. In my opinion we need one of either and look elsewhere for a no.8

    8. TheCroc14 on

      I understand the reasons and excitement of getting Rice. What I'll never understand and agree with is the notion that Rice is worth anything above £80 million. James is even justifying paying over 100mil for him. That's absolutely bonkers!

    18. Adewale Adebayo Daniel on

      Y'all just desperate… Let's focus on other targets pls…… If we sign rice fine.. But talking bout him everyday is weird,
      A player I'd like but we shouldn't spend more that 70m for him
      Liverpool paid thirty bloody five million for Mac Alister…. C'mon

    19. David Greaves on

      Too much speculation it's all going to be a waste of time if we don't finish first or second we'll probably be like lecister no where near their best season after winning it immediately became lecister again I expect us to be scraping for champions league spot as the last two decades has firmly placed us in that space

    24. Dom on

      Thanks for doing this James. Seeing too many of our fans saying they don’t want Rice or he’s not worth the money. They couldn’t be more wrong

    26. Darealkezz on

      I think James is forgetting that elite 8s also play in deeper areas and control build up etc Gundogan and Mac Allister, and therefore need to be ultra press resistant to be elite, its what Xhaka lacks and Rice is not necessarily superior in that aspect, neither is he extremely creative in the final 3rd like a Gundogan. He would almost be a like for like replacement for Xhaka which we don't need. We need an upgrade. As a 6 he is probably the best in the world considering his on ball and off ball capabilities and unique ability to drive from deep areas with the ball which he cant use as effectively playing in the pockets with his back to goal as an 8.

      It would make more sense for Arteta to play to his strengths as a 6 where he can be the best in the world rather than play him out of position as an 8 where there are a huge number of 8s who are better than him in that position, Caicedo or Odegaard would make more sense.

      90mil or 100mil just for the Defensive midfielder thats nuts,
      And I hope we get Dominik Szoboszlai Attacking midfielder and can also play left wing, central midfield
      Arda Guler right winger, plays like Messi
      And we should go for
      Osimhen or Rodrygo or Antoine Griezmann, any of them as strikers ?

    30. Vague1801 on

      So we're selling xhaka for pennies who scored 7 goals 7 assist to pay over 70 mill for a player only scored 4 goals and 4 assist in da same league? 🤔🤔🤔

    31. Chimera on

      Stop dreaming.You're not getting both Caicedo and Rice. Your board doesn't have the capacity to bag both. Rice is ridiculously overpriced; getting Caicedo seems more realistic.

    34. chris a on

      Arsenal fans are really making rice out to be some insane world class player…like relax mate, He's okay. You'd think Rice was on par with Bellingham

    36. Kazim Raza on

      I think Arsenal fans should stop doing this. Salivating for a potential player. These analyses would make sense once he signs for Arsenal but not before. Pretty sure we can make a similar case for any other player – gundogan, rodri, casemiro, camavinga, blah blah.

    37. Iniesta on

      This guy is unbelievably overhyped its killing me we need 2or3 midfielders not all the money for an overrated player
