Yeah cant argue with any of that mate however when i imagine this team WITHOUT Rice in it, its a scary thought, the price tag for me = importance to the team and without him this season especially we would be mid table ! That`s why he is worth what we paid and more in my opinion
agreed...hes not the glamour player that catches the eye....say a Liam Brady.....but ask his team mates how vital he is.....IMO a top rate player despite the dross he plays with and a manager hes probably seriously begining to question......



And while I'm not disagreeing with what you are saying, I would also say that if you ask captain invisible's team-mates about how important he is, I suspect you would get comments putting him up alongside pele, jesus christ, nelson madela and gandhi :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, the Gandhi comparison is true….Odegaard seems to have mastered the art of passive resistance.

100%... That was my description of it to a mate down the pub when he (Odeargod) first returned from injury .... "Sporting a Look that says I'm Either a Right Scruffy Cūnt from another Dimension and period of time... or an Utter Twat trying to look cool'. :roll:


At least Catweazle could make himself Invisible by Genuine Magical means... instead of just being gutless...
