Soldo

So hang on your are saying it's impossible to say Rice can't go on to be as good as Rio or O'Leary? I mean I'm not saying you are wrong but he's only 19yo. Surely you can't call that now?

1. He's always brave enough to receive the ball.

So what? He's a fucking pro footballer. Plus, I am not arguing that.

2. Anyone who has played football knows that if you don't get options to pass to you will get caught on the ball. Especially against a scrapping team like Stoke.

Yes, you will get caught if you are lacking quality. Which he is. You can blame others for him getting caught on the ball if you like and if it makes you feel better.

Rice actually has a bit of pride so wanted to play for a country which had a bit itself. Seems like a logical decision to me.

About as Irish as JAFKD.

From one proud Irishman to another, I fucking love Declan Rice

Gavros 5:56 Tue Apr 17
Re: ⚽ West Ham United v Stoke City - Official Match Thread

Totally agree. Seems like a nutty decision.

Is he full on potato muncher or is it via some relative?

Re: ⚽ West Ham United v Stoke City - Official Match Thread

If it was any other country you build teams round someone like Rio... not good old England... O'Leary and SAF shove him a straight back 4... yeah he can do that bog standard defending all day long ... but that was not what he brought on this earth for... missed a real real trick with Rio ... Oh and Rice comparable?? Please...... honestly this place is fucking MENTAL....

Re: ⚽ West Ham United v Stoke City - Official Match Thread

Rice has prematurely chosen Ireland in my opinion.

He has the ability to be an England regular for many years.

Re: ⚽ West Ham United v Stoke City - Official Match Thread

I think Rice looks slightly better in terms of placement and maturity at the same age. However that doesn't mean to say he'll go on to be a better player. I could have said the same as comparing Lampard and Noble at the same age. I thought Noble was better and go on to be as good. But nah.

Also Rice has been playing in a back 3 and we haven't seen how he copes in a back 4 at one of 2 CBs much.

I'm also not sure he's not better suited as a DM.

It's just too early for anyone to start making these statements.

Typical WHO.

"Btw, Manc fans have always rated Vidic above Rio"

you've made this bit up.

and you keep going on about Bellamy doing him form pace once. fucking hell, one time.

quite simply his record stands up against any defender in the modern game, and the bench mark of Real or Barca not wanting him can be levelled at the two players YOU picked as a benchmark.

you clown.

You COMPLETELY mis-quote me (presumably to suit YOUR argument) like a fucking CHILD, and you call me a clown?? Discuss like an adult or fucking die, you lump of pointless shit.

Btw, Manc fans have always rated Vidic above Rio, so you Rio lovers can take that how you want. Bellamy made him look like a park player, remember that.

You really don’t seem to understand and I’ll keep bringing it up as I see fit.

Re: ⚽ West Ham United v Stoke City - Official Match Thread

That's right H&P.

Now he's started three games in a row for the first time, he's probably a bit more than the squad player he was back in December.

I really don't understand why you keep bringing this back up. Absolutely nobody except you disagrees with me on this one. I guess you'll do literally anything to get a bit of attention.

Tuesday today. You'll have been bang on it for several hours now, won't you?

Re: ⚽ West Ham United v Stoke City - Official Match Thread

my word.

so despite demanding a world record fee for a defender, winning the champions league twice and many premier leagues - you think he wasn't that good? he played during a time when british teams were the best in europe so why would he sign for someone else?
Baresi and Nesta never played outside of Italy, so are they shit as well?

you clown.

Re: ⚽ West Ham United v Stoke City - Official Match Thread

Seems Rice is no longer a squad player now he has something “god-given”.

Tell you what, there really are some abject god-given cunts on here.
