Pundit compares Declan Rice to Roy Keane’s arrival at Manchester United

Jamie Carragher believes that Declan Rice is the most important signing by any Premier League club this season, as the Englishman continues to shine for Arsenal.

The midfielder only joined the Gunners in the summer but has quickly become one of the top players in the Premier League.

Arsenal has greatly benefited from his talents, and it appears to be a wise investment, even though they broke their transfer record to sign him. Rice demonstrated his goal-scoring abilities by netting the winner against Luton Town in a recent game, showcasing his versatility beyond his midfield prowess.

Under Mikel Arteta’s guidance, Arsenal has consistently performed well with Rice in the lineup. Carragher has even drawn parallels between Rice’s impact and Roy Keane’s arrival at Manchester United.

‘Declan Rice, at £105 million, is a bargain for Arsenal,’ Carragher wrote in his weekly column for The Telegraph.

‘I feel the same way about Rice that I felt about Roy Keane when he joined Manchester United for a British record fee in 1993, and Alan Shearer when he joined Newcastle United in 1996.

‘He has been probably the most influential player in the Premier League this season and, every time I watch him, he reminds me of Keane. He has that same presence, and he has a passing ability that is incredibly underrated.’

Just Arsenal Opinion

Rice has been a superb signing for us and it is exciting to think about how good he would be on the pitch when he has spent a few seasons with us.

    1. A steal at 105 million pounds? Nah, he’s only living up to the price tag that’s all. We’ve only been justified of splashing the cash on him.

      1. So Ian Wright was kidding?, In my honest humble opinion Arsenal could get £150 mill for him in January, don’t you think?

  1. So Jamie Carragher has eyes that work efficiently. So do all fans (except, sadly, our few blind ones) .

    But my question to JA is this: SO WHAT?

    Who cares that CARRAGHER CAN SEE THE EXACT SAME AS THE REST OF US?
    Its not as if he has any real standing in the game, now that he has become a regular muppet pundit.

    If JA could give us the views of someone in punditry who is widely respected, instead of those of CARRAGHER, AGBONLAHOR, O’HARA and the other LOW intellect nonentities whose “thoughts” are regularly foisted upon us, I for just one would be extremely grateful.

    Having to read only the constntly bl****ng obvious with NO thoughtful analysis at all, is very irritating, at least to those of who REALLY THINK about the game.

      1. Tell you what PAT, I will happily send you an email- assuming you are not being SARCASTIC, perish the thought – of those I DONT WANT to ever hear from again.
        You then have ANY OTHER YOU CARE TO NAME TO STILL USE ,if you promise not to bore us with the inane ramblings of CARRAGHER, AGBONLAHOR, O’HARA, CAMPBELL, ever again .

        I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO MERSON OR NEVILLE
        Deal or no deal?

        1. Hang on. Should we ask all the readers to tell us which pundits they don’t like? Shall we have a poll?

          Unless of course you can prove you are the official spokesman for ALL justarsenal readers?
