Just for fun?
Kane for 100m or
rice for £80 + lingard.
Personally rice deal looks massively better with age etc on his side and its what is needed now.

Rice. With Sancho in, I think our forward line is strong, midfield however is weak.

80 pounds plus lingard for rice is a steal.

Is Rice really worth 80+ Mil?

40 plus Lingard would be a good deal for Rice. I don't see us paying more than 60 millions total for him.

£80m? 👀👀👀 For Rice?

I found some Basmati at Tesco's for £1.60. Are you sure you have your decimals in the right place🤣.

{Ed077's Note - depends on the type of rice Shappy. Is it Long grain? Aged for how long? Brown or normal white. Some are very cheap, and they are good too.

Not a word will be allowed against any rice😜.


BTW how do you guys cook rice?? If you actually do cook it by yourself..

Rice can do the combined job of Fred and McT which will allow us to play Donny or Pogba in the midfield pivot, especially against a low block.

Lingard and 80 million for Rice. come on! Maybe 50 plus Lingard for Rice.
Very good player but no way is rice worth that kind of money.

Rice, water, butter, salt and teaspoon of vinegar into a dish and bake in the oven for 24 minutes. Perfection.

{Ed077's Note - why make something as simple as rice that complex?

HM would be the priority over the striker for me. I think that with Cavani, Greenwood and Martial we are set at striker next year. Also think that Dialo can play in the false 9 position if needed.
If money was no object then there is an argument for Kane and I am sure that the club would see him as the marketable option. but on the basis of team building we should prioritise HM over striker.
Rice/ Ndidi if happy to spend big but there are cheaper options that i would still take.

£60m plus Lingard would be a fair deal IMO, however, it's simply down to what West Ham value Rice at and whether we'd pay it.

I'd take Rice over Kane at the moment simply because in the coming season I think there's more of an issue in midfield than up front. Long term we are going to need a striker though as Cavani will be gone in 12 months and Martial is incredibly hit and miss. Rice, Pogba / VDB and Bruno is a great midfield 3.

Rice simply because our team needs a DM to really make it work.

Does ole want another midfielder?
I would imagine only if pogba is sold.

Ed, rice cooker, it's a game changer. Cook with stock instead of water for really simple and tasty rice.

{Ed033's Note - Right, Ninja Foodi is awesome.

Rice for Lingard + cash all the way.

Oh and Ed - heat a little oil, stir rice in oil until it starts changing colour from slightly transparent to solid white, add 2 parts water to each 1 part rice, bring to boil, stir, cover, simmer for 20 minutes. Perfect every time.

Might have a hard time finding a pot big enough to fit Declan in though, he's a big lad.

{Ed077's Note - Yet another different method to cook rice. (different just being another way to say complex;-)}

I've got to ask though Ed, does it matter whether the method for cooking Rice is simple or complex, he's going to object either way?

If we sign Leith's Paul Currie, we are a bag of chips away from the perfect midfield.

Rice is probably the necessity over Kane.

I also think Greenwood will surpass Kane in every aspect of his game.

{Ed077's Note - thats a lot of expectation on Greenwood then.

Its difficult for Mason to have better hold up play of Kane and his play making abilities. Although he is still young and improving his all round game. But he is a lot faster, his finishing is on par with Kane i think and he is two footed. I think he will surpass Kane in some aspects.

Slow cooker with a rice setting, six minutes for white basmati, 11 for brown. Easy peasy squeezy lemons.

Rice is best in a pudding with a dollop of Jam.

Don’t think I need to diss Jamie Oliver he does a good enough job himself. In the words of the mighty angelos epithemiou ‘like Jamie Oliver, without all the dribble…and Jamie oliver’.

I'd love a rice cooker Ed, limited space in my kitchen so the oven bake way is a life saver.

{Ed077's Note - the toaster is probably taking too much space😂😂.
