Declan Rice: Cooking Again (2024)

He sounds like a small section of Arsenal-Mania tbf. I've said it before, but I'd be very shocked if he was rated the same outside of England.

Granted Bernardo plays in England, but do think Rice gets some level of international recognition. I think Enzo Fernandez also said Rice is a player he looks up to.

Rice is definitely highly rated across Europe. Bayern were desperate to sign him before we did and they were willing to spend 100 million for him.

Without checking I 100% believe he would prevent 25% more goals than JWP would for sure.

Wonder how many goals he's prevented at arsenal just by his aura.

That was actually poor defending. Trent just messed it up

What an iconic picture. Is that an official Adidas ad or fake?

I think it's fake as Saliba is edited out of it, William sprinted back like a mad man to help cut out the pass to the left.

I'd heard so much about what McClean said that I thought he absolutely slaughtered Rice, just watched it there and all he said was the media go over the top and he's not as good as Rodri and Kroos. Have I missed a part?

He basically said he isn’t “world class” because he’s not as good on the ball as Kroos (one of the best midfielders ever) and Rodri.

Flawed logic imo.

So we've gone from has-beens criticizing our players to never-weres. Lovely stuff. He should ask his masters, Deadpool and Mac whether they'd prefer to have Declan or him.

Real ones know him as Berg from Two Guys, A Girl And A Pizza Place.

Why did he mess up? Declan’s aura.

I think he's a top talented midfielder, but his limitations are exposed in some playing styles

Gunner D said:

People need to accept that this is where we are with football now.. lack of world class players across the board.

Saka and Rice are elite players, but because they are playing in such a poor era, they’re looked at world class.

Neither are world class but could be under the right style and management

That sitcom was trash. The only reason I tolerated it was because I found Suzanne Cryer easy on the eye.
