I see John O’Shea has played his last game for Ireland and reckons that Declan Rice will be a future national captain.
Should be a regular next season and we have to keep hold of him.
Hopefully we will start to see the likes of Nathan Holland & Marcus Browne next season too.

I think we should buy a proper DM or two and let this lad wait for his chance at CB, his actual position, when he stops doing stupid shit like ducking crosses.

Need to get him on a long term contract.
I am glad he is playing for Ireland. If he got called up for England it wouldn't be long before the media started touting him for a move to one of the top 4.
I can totally see him playing as a defensive midfielder or in a back 3 with Fredericks & Masuaku as wing backs,

What if it's not incompetence?
A tax-free bung that never comes back to the UK, but is available to an owner whenever they visit a certain location is a big attraction to somebody who feels "they pay more than their fair share of tax as it is".
A villa on some tropical island of which you have unlimited use and access, fully managed complete with a staff, registered to a company in a tax-haven to untraceable owners? Who wouldn't?

Should give him an improved contract and start playing him from the start as he is ready now.

What you say would make sense if we didn't then splurge even more on a non entity to replace them..... owners are, at best, incompetent.
Have Burke and Cullen been recalled from Bolton? They played on 1st Jan.
Would love to see a back three of Burke, Oxford & Rice on Sunday.

I would not be surprised if Oxford, Burke and Cullen have all been recalled in order to play in the FA cup.

Re: Declan Rice

There are a lot of influential people in the game today, the last thing they want is a kid coming through the ranks of an academy and breaking into that club's first team.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sub-culture of unsettling any kids that show such potential in order to turn them into moneytizable (?), transferable assets.

Re: Declan Rice

I don’t think anyone was suggesting the 3 youngsters should be starting against spurs. But I like the idea of one day in the not too distant future watching 3 very capable young centre backs out of the academy play in the first team. Personlally I’d be playing Burke, Oxford and rice together in a back 3 evey everyday in training and every game in the under 23’s. Start getting them working together learning about each other and training them to play a certain way. Then when possible blood them into the first team. I prefer that strategy than handing Reid a 6 year deal at the age of 29

Agree - about time Rice got a start, whether at CB or DM. Oxford to start against Shrewsbury?

In Burke Rice and Oxford we have 3 decent players that need a run of games .. I think Rice is ready now though and should start playing from Thursday night

Re: Declan Rice

Trevor, in fairness Reid, Ogbonna and Cresswell have all been very, very average for the best part of 18 months. There will always be times when they keep a clean sheet (Chelsea) but there will also be plenty more times when they look a bit calamitous (Newcastle, Everton, Watford and Liverpool conceding 13 goals).
The point that was being made was that Rice is certainly not performing any worse that our current defenders so has every chance for a start soon. Don’t see that as ‘having an agenda’, particularly
