Would love to see him play for us.Quote from: BennyCake on November 08, 2018, 03:55:30 PMBut from an earnings perspective, one English cap pays mote than 1,000 Irish ones. Depends on his priorities.
Unless Rice is some genius player, it'd be mad not to go with Ireland. Look at the likes of McAteer, Big Cas, Townsend, Houghton, Kilbane, Etc. Those fellas are all legends in Ireland, and ended up with decent media careers on rte/tv3 etc, released autobiographies etc. They made a decent living from the game after retiring.
What would Rice amount to? A small fish in a huge pond in England. A few caps (if he's lucky) then never to be heard of again.
But its moot, the bridges are ablaze
Probably be a Man City player after January and if he is he'll likely declare for England
