Declan Rice

[cyril evans awaydays]

He's obviously got something but I'm afraid the English media will hype him up and put too much pressure on him as usual.

Think you are getting duped by the OP. WB thinks Ethan Ampadu is currently the best defensive midfield player for his age on the planet. Now almost every poster on this board recognises his talent but WB has super recognition having been one of the first dozen posters to see his talents.

Unfortunately for Declan Rice, Chelsea are considering signing him having letting him go as a 14 yr old. Even more unfortunately he would play where Ampadu would if he continued his development. That, apparently makes Chelsea a basket case of a club, whilst Ampadu goes on a sensible loan to Sheff Utd where hopefully he will get his 2nd and subsequent Premier League starts.

Still it's enough for some to track Rice's progress and diss him every time he has a bad game.

Given tonights showing, Ampadu is a far better player. Can't wait for the England v Wales game

You do realise that you are going to have to spend the rest of the season saying how superior Rice is, cos a person like you can never back down.

This is like the kind of discussion infants have in the playground where you say that Dinosaurs are fantastic and anyone who disagrees smells of poo!

Rice and Ampadu are really talented footballers.

Wales and England (formerly Ireland) are lucky to have those young talents in their international set up.

Both have played impressively and, at times, less impressively for their international teams.

Ampadu is 18 months younger than Rice but due to inexperience, playing for a basket case club before being loaned to the best youth coach in Europe and playing 3 league games whilst Rice stayed with West Ham and has made 100 Premier League appearances and might be in line for a £70m transfer to Chelsea.

You don't have to diss Rice's talent to admire Ampadu's. Is that too difficult for you to understand?

I am discussing Rice's performance this evening cos he's got a massive price tag on his head, nothing to do with Ampadu, you are the one who brought him up!

They reportedly want to pay £70m for Declan Rice who was actually on their books a few seasons ago, and he's not even a major upgrade on Ampadu, and who can forget Salah & De Bruyne!! They are a mental club and always have been since the mad Russian took over!

Just me making 2 and 2 as 5 as usual
