I mean it’s hilarious .. except I’ll bet literally any amount of money with BC or you that Rice will start every single week in the league when fit regardless of Onana joins or not.
But no .. their current player of the season will be dropped because the teams had a few bad games.
At 100m Arteta would look fucking stupid if he didn’t start him. But will he start in the remit he was bought for? Because most weeks he isn’t and, as I said to you months ago, they are now bringing in someone who can play the 6.
If Havertz had worked out the way Arteta wanted him to, as a L8, I would take your bet, because sooner or later Arteta would have been faced with a dilemma.
As I said to you a while ago, Rice is a decent footballer, but massively over hyped and over rated, lacks the discipline/rigour to be a great 6, lacks the talent/vision to be a great 8.
Never got exposed in Moyes’ bus park like he will in a proactive side. In one of the threads yesterday, one of the football media bods did a YouTube piece on him. Have a watch.
