The rags waxing lyrical about Hendo, which is surprising as I expected them to be all about Kane as he got a hat trick, as that would be usual form for them, maybe they should have made a bit more noise about Hendo's exceptional talents ahead of and throughout the Euros - The general consensus is that Hendo complimented England's best players and the Leeds lad who Rice partnered for every match at the Euos far better than Rice, well, I could have told them that before the Euros
I'd still take Rice, he's been a slow burner for me, physically, he always had the rights attributes, but he needed to mature, get better positional awareness, greater presence, improve his reading of the game and passing, and he's done all that now and looks a fine player and very fine prospect as long term successor to Hendo while still having plenty of room to improve further, so as FSG won't splash out the 80-100m West Ham will want for him, he's a shoe in to join the filthy in the summer and be their new captain
Rodgers to the filthy, 120m on Rice, Tielemans on a free in the summer
