Don't think how is important, but more so why?..
They paid the money. 2 second video.
YetoJesus
Rice is overrated and he will not upgrade Arsenal's starting 11 in anyway. Just good for depth. Personally, I'd pick Partey over Rice.
The real question is why
🔥🔥🔥
It's easy to forget Arsenal did also beat the likes of Manchester Utd and Bayern Munich to the signature of Declean Rice. He will undoubtedly transform Arsenal in the midfield this season!
Rice is young, strong snd smart. He is "an Arsenal player". The fact arteta idendified him to be top priority makes me thing Arsenal will be competimg for everything in the next seasons.
They could have bought Ugarte for half that money. They would get a much better player.
What a classy dude.😎😎👌🏾
He better not flop
So Manchester City just made Arsenal overdid for a player that they didn't really want…
So its going to be a 433 next season with rice, havertz, odegaard as the triangle. Interesting.
I will tell you how they signed him… they got mugged off by Wet Spam. A £40m player for £105m. This is not how to do business.
I got this, fam.
One day Arsenal offered less than 105 mil. West Ham rejected.
Another day Arsenal offered 105 mil. West Ham accepted.
There you have it homeboy, the full breakdown.
City just drove the price up on him
The question is not How…it is why
Will flop harder than the twin towers
Too be fair they never technically outbid Man City, just that City thought he wasn’t worth that much and so they walked away
West Ham saw Arsenal coming a mile away and mugged them clean off with Rice. He isn't worth nowhere near 105m, more like 50-60m max 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brighton will push Chelsea to buy Caceido for the same price
Even rice himself is amazed at how much arsenal overpayed him
they outbid Man City ? LOL, come on Tifo, you know Man City was trolling Arsenal with Rice, by fake bidding WHU they succeed on making Arsenal overspent on Rice. I still think Rice is a good player and great signing, but still overpriced.
I thought the question should be why
No Sensible Transfers anymore??
What happened at 05:29? – A remark pushed in the sentence? 😀
Sounds like a modern day Roy Keane with less aggression. Box to box midfielder with great leadership qualities. A future Arsenal captain.
He is good but no where near 105 million pounds
Terrible buy worse than Man Utd spending 85 mill on maguire.
65 Million for Harvertz is crazy business!
More like how Declan Rice got signed for 105mil 😂
How much would Declan Rice's fee be lowered if he was not English?
Why did West Ham agree to the transfer if Rice is so good? Would it not be better to keep him than have $105 Million pounds?
As an arsenal fan i think we let the English quota prevail. He's not worth that much.
Overpaid. Also Tifo seems to making up half the claims in their videos out of thin air to try to support the analysis.
