I've never really got Rice. He's perfectly competent at everything, but doesn't excel at anything. Hence West Ham have been competent at midfield rather than dominant. Hence why England have been competent at midfield rather than dominant. He doesn't have the raw athleticism to go up another gear in terms of a physical presence. So any improvement from here has to be on the mental side of things. It's one hell of a punt from Arsenal at £105m that this might happen.

And with their history with big money signings, it doesn't bode well.

Maddison is a great signing at £40m for Spurs considering the price of players these days. I think I read somewhere Leicester are up shit creek in terms of finances so maybe that played a part.

Relegation.

Where are spurs gonna play him? They have Son, Kane and Richarldson up top. Is he gonna play further back?

4-2-3-1 Kulesevski Maddison Son playing behind Kane.  Richarlison was one of the worst signings of last year and wouldn't be an automatic starter.  Spurs been crying out for this type of player since Eriksen left and Alli fell off a cliff.

Surely Kane is finally leaving though?

Chelsea have offloaded goalie Edouard Mendy to Saudi Arabia. I thought he was a top keeper and better than Kepa Arrizabalaga who cost a lot more. As a Liverpool fan I am happy to see Mendy gone

Thought that was a strange one myself...maybe they need to balance the books so had no choice?

It's madness. When Abramovich first came to Chelsea he bought 11 good players for £120m. Now Arsenal have spent £165m on 2. Surely it has to go pop at some stage?

The Saudi league will surely impact it??

How much money do those bastards have? 100's of millions being thrown at average players now. Unreal
