How do we know nobody else enquired about him? Just because we don’t know about it doesn’t mean nobody did. Newcastle were interested at one point apparently. That he said he only wanted to go to Napoli suggests to me he might have had other options.
Anyway, he’s gone now, so we might as well...
Tbh I would have just had a word and told them both to stop being knobs. No cards. Let’s face it it’s a soft yellow for Rice, not worth being a yellow for a sending off as players do it all the time. I’d be utterly raging if one of our players were sent off for that.
Veltman was more a yellow...
I used to quite like them in the past, or at least didn’t dislike them. I think Arteta made them so unlikeable and now I wish them nothing but bad luck and many premiership title losses.
I honestly don’t think they are that great tbh. I might be biased as I hate them but honestly, they’ve given the ball away and missed tackles etc nearly as much as we have
