Always liked him from when they were in the Championship. Been highly regarded for a while obviously and having a coach like Bielsa has brought him on even more. Looks a smarter footballer from his time under him. He's not a kid and spent 6 years playing championship football. Makes a mockery of those who are so quick to say "yeah but he's been playing in the championship" ergo he can't be good enough for the PL. This judgement is made time and time again against so many players, and this guy just shows how short sighted those people are.
He is to me. I have to say though, I was kinda wrong about Rice. I underrated him, he's a better footballer than I gave him credit for. Henderson is very underrated too. We have some decent options. Then you look at Kante, and think, **** we've got a long way to go
