Rice's subbing was pure petulance by Arteta and to do it against West Ham was really humiliating, if he's not careful he will lose the dressing room and that will be a real issue
This in anyway presupposes that we would be going for the same kind of players to begin with. Man City will have the advantage because out of the three clubs they will be able to offer the most in wages and bonuses. Other than that, if you can sell a project to a player they will get on board

Plus is this your explanation for why Liverpool only signed a Juventus reject in the summer….potential players looked around and thought “who the fuck is this bald prick? Where’s Klopp?” I guess that’s laudable

Rice was shit on Saturday, absolutely stank the place out. I don’t hold him wholly responsible because he’s playing in a position he can’t play in. But I don’t know if you’re more annoyed about that or the fact that he brought on Zinchenko to replace him
