Aye, and the big money doesn't make anyone ammune to being a reject. Liverpool showing interest in Phillips as a Henderson replacement. Maguire surely can't remain at Man U for much longer either.
@StripedTomato I think Rice will inevitably never live up to that price tag. Very few players would, and he’s not the flashiest player you’ll ever see either. He’ll be solid enough and could possibly win silverware with the team but it does feel odd for his valuation to be that bloated. Perhaps it’s an English tax due to the whole homegrown players rule?

@KAIRU Definitely. With top level football I meant he’s good enough to play any Division 1 team in the world really. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr got smashed by Celta Vigo 5-0 only a couple of days ago. I think Henderson probably could’ve retired there later, but seems like Gerrard really wanted him.
@StripedTomato Definitely overpaid, but Arsenal do need him. He’s not on the level of a Jude Bellingham imo, but the price is whatever the club bidding is ready to pay
