I still don't know why many people are talking much about the amount (£105m) Arsenal spent on Rice and that he won't play anything close to what he played while he was with the Hammers.
Some ex players from Manchester United are taking it personal that Arsenal over paid for the player but I believe he's better than Sancho, Mount and even Anthony. Well that's not the main issue, what I know is that Rice is going to do very well at Arsenal, rival fans are using his play against Man City on Sunday to judge how he'd play come next season but that's just the beginning before the league begins people would see the best of Rice.
If those rival fans watched Arsenal vs Man City community shield match it obvious that Arsenal had strengthened their squad with the experience of Declan Rice in their midfield matched up with their opponent in that match, in the previous seasons matches Man City usually have an easy dominance over Arsenal defeating them convincingly, however last Sunday match Arsenal were able to stand their ground and curtailed the exploit of Haaland and Alvarez who were well marked by Declan Rice, Moreso Timber another new Arsenal signing was very outstanding at the left back, he overlaps well to support Martinelli as well as defend very well.
