Rice looks decent, but not top drawer. I think there are better options. For the money it'd take to get him, we could probably get Neves and someone like Tielemans

Emerging English star too of course.
What do you make of Rice? What does everyone else? For me he's a lot like Gareth Barry. I don't get the hype. He's not the most mobile, or quick, but his positioning is good, he's unhurried and can play an alright ball. I think the club think it's another Carrick esque signing. But he's not as good.
he's got a great engine on him and can put in a water carrier shift over 90 mins but that's really about it. With some decent coaching he could be better but what are the chances of anyone improving under the Ole regime?

If you're going to throw that much money at West Ham for Rice, you might as well chuck that at Leicester and get Ndidi. That's the type of player we need.

Same here. Tbf I didn't think Carrick was all that great either when we signed him but he was top class.

Ndidi does the defensive work of two players. He’d be a good signing to let Pogba play in midfield with more freedom.

Woke up today to links with Kalvin Philips. It's more briefing to stem the tide of discontent and anger towards the current shitness. They've literally just picked the most high profile English midfielder that had a good world cup, and are pretending we're going to sign him.

But even if we did, he wouldn't remain the player was was at Leeds cos we don't have a manager that plays similar high pressing attacking football to Bielsa in charge. He'd become average.

He'd become average even if we did play that style of football, have you seen our coaching? We sign up top class talent and turn them into shite and then give them long term contracts.

Aside from all that, why on earth would a boyhood Leeds fan, born and bred in the city want to come to United?

Someone is taking the piss with this report.
40 million quid for a 31 yo fullback.

You can see it though. If the next deal we do, is for anything other than a CDM, heads need to fucking role. The fact that we keep persisting with McFred is bad enough. But the fact that's STILL probably our best option, is fucking laughable.

Oh but we have other options. The fact that Ole believes that they’re our best option is what’s laughable. He’s a clueless cunt and it’s starting to show every game.
