Five games in- do we miss Declan Rice at all?
|
Maybe this is a little too early to have this debate, but five games in and you’d have to say not at all so far.
The midfield seems to function just as well in defence and attack, and we’ve spent the money very wisely on Alvarez and JWP as replacements, it seems thus far and if Kudus turns out to be decent then we’ve invested extremely wisely.
Any thoughts? Is it too early to say?

We shouldn’t miss a player that doesn’t want to play for the club.

Yeah we're really missing his two goals a season and his 'really bubbly personality' in the dressing room, the fucking simpleton. I hope someone snaps him clean in half the turncoat Arteta cum guzzling rice pudding salesman overrated cringe fest.

Answer: No. We really dont and we've replaced admirably, and we shouldn't even be asking this question. We sold him → move on

I have no qualms about Dec leaving to win some silverware and further is career, and have no bitterness about it (unlike a few).
But as results have shown, we're better without him, as the money as been well spent.
So, thanks, Dec.

We dont miss him have spent the money well, move on.
Good luck to him though, but hopefully Arsenal will win fuck all, they may get CL every season but once the knockouts start, they are just fodder for the "bigger clubs" anyway, last 16 or 8 each season with a last 4 if the draw falls well is as good as it will get for Dec.
Do find his relationship with Arteta a bit strange, the way they swoon about each other and when he scored i thought both he and Arteta were going to burst into tears the way they looked into each other's eyes. all a bit nauseous if not bordering on gay

Think about it logically, what side is going to miss a DM? It's never happened before in football history. He hasn't been missed a single jot, quite the opposite in fact. I won't be wishing the cunt any luck either.

He was a fantastic player for us and seems like a thoroughly decent bloke.
I hope that he wins the sum of exactly fuck all with the Woolwich mob.

Interesting one.
Alvarez seems to keep it simple, wins the ball, releases it safely and usually short, whereas Rice dwelt on the ball more, wanted to aim 60 yard passes at times, and steamed into the box more, which meant Soucek had to sit deeper.
Not taking anything away from Rice, who was usually our best player, but it’s interesting that losing your best player can possibly mean that you improve as a team.

I watched him yesterday and he is a modern day Ray Wilkins, passes sideways and backwards but very efficient.
Not a bum off seats player and I thank Arsenal for the money.
JWP & Alvarez are doing a fabulous job and now we need to get Kudus in.

If winning stuff = got to last 16 of the CL then he's gonna love it at Arsenal. Otherwise I think he told some porky pies about his move. I hope his move is a massive failure.

Kudus, Alvarez and JWP.. 3 for 1 at Tesco's!
Nope.. dont miss him.
I'm just glad for the first time I can remember West Ham actually benefiting from selling a good player. I'm in shock really...

I would argue selling Rice for £100 million and getting in three quality players in JWP, Alvarez and Kuddus actually makes us stronger.
The morale in the squad seems better too now that Rice and his massive ego and big head are no longer there.

We missed him for 1-2 years before he actually left. Well, not him obviously, but we missed having an anchor man DM when he/Moyes decided he should be a box to box midfielder instead, taking rubbish set pieces and getting forward whenever possible, rather than concentrating on shielding the defence.
