Dear Ed002, Are Arsenal interested in signing Caicedo? Does it depend on Rice arriving at Arsenal or we might look to sign both?

{Ed002's Note - Certainly won't be both and other clubs are now pushing for both players.}

I'm curious what the difference is between these two 'thumbs up' icons?

{Ed033's Note - The larger one is an Ed thumbs up and the smaller one is the poster thumbs up.

I agree that we don't need both - the price being quoted is ridiculous in both cases, but of the two its Rice all day long. I can get behind that premium for an English player, still young, with tons of prem experience, never injured and a club captain as well. If we felt we needed a 2nd body in that #6/ #8 role then it would be SMS for significantly cheaper.

For me the perfect summer is:
Saliba 0
Rice 100 (long term #6)
Kokcu 50 (long term #8)
A right back (Boey/ Fresneda linked) 25

Thats 175, maybe 200 if we also get SMS.

But the real game changer for this team would be Osimhen. With the likely sales of Balogun (Napoli interested. ) , ESR, Tierney and Xhaka raising in the region of 125 it could be doable. Caicedo won't move the needle - but this guy would be an Henry-like signing for us.

Think those sales would get more closer to 80m rogedavi than 125m.

im assuming chelsea are going for caicedo and will probably get him with players they are selling and manchester united want rice and with his best friend mount looking like joining probably go there if they pay up.

Looks like Tuchel has turned Rice's head Bergkamp!

I don't think rice will leave england.
