June 30, 20233 yr I never know what to say about ransfers like Rice's other than 'that's a heck of a lot of money that could be doing a lot more somewhere else'. Notice there have been some rumblings about Harry Kane moving to various places, we'll see what happens there. He's a good player, I like him a lot. But the way people go on about him, you'd think he's a 2005 version of Claude Makele. It's rare he's part of a midfield where he bosses the game. He has a great engine and is a good player, but that's a lot of money. Chelsea have kind of distorted the transfer market though, much like the Neymar transfer did. Will say for Arsenal though, if they don't win the League or CL in the next 2 seasons then it's going to be a disappointment with their spending at the moment.
