Further confirmation of just how overrated this Casemiro c.unt is

Blown away by Rice and his shammer pals. Bullied and anonymous. 5 champions leagues you know - hardly ever gets mentioned :wink:

I know there are quite a few peeps on here who don't rate Declan Rice, but have to say he was pretty fuckin' amazing throughout the game tonight....and if with better players than he currently plays with, ie: Arsenal he would be even better.
I think he would be really good for us.
Personally I don't rate him much beyond PL average to goodish. But there is - as OneBard says - the possibility he steps up a level playing with a few of our more top level players. But there is also the possibility he won't.

The decider for me is, with the inflated English player premium, it would cost us £100million plus £200k per week to find out.
If it punts that arsepiece Xhaka out the door it's money well spent :lol:

One thing Rice is, is a leader. Been captain of that lot from an early age and he certainly steps up when it matters - today was a good example

In a squad that has been leaderless for so long those qualities would certainly be welcomed

I've said all along that I think Rice would be a superb signing for us, just what we need. Yes he'll cost a lot, but he won't be a risk as he has proven it on the international stage how good he is.
Pay 54m for Zubimendi or 100m for Rice? It's a no brainer, Rice every time, we should break the bank for him. He takes us to another level.

Coming good at just the right time mate

Will be a big atmosphere at Goodison

Had that one down as City's banana skin for weeks, especially after Madrid

Let’s hope Brighton play like this Sunday - they are fucking stinking the place out here.

Wide open and being cut to shreds, Dunk getting destroyed by Calvert Lewin every time he runs at him.

This is why spunking massive money on Caicedo would worry me. He’s in there getting cut wide open from every Everton counter but it goes under the radar at Brighton. People see the stand out games he plays and rave about him but this isn’t the first time I’ve see him get rinsed.

I hope you’re right.

Brighton believing their own hype here, aimlessly passing it sideways all game , Everton nip in, knock it long and are straight in on goal. Should be 4 or 5.
