“Declan Rice, we say he’s the future, as soon as you hit £100m, many fans will kill him.'
“He’s not a leader, he’s not ready in the way people in the media talk about him. I played with him. He’s not ready but he’s going in the right direction.”
This is while Glen Johnson has argued that we are not seeing the best from Rice at the moment as he is “trying to be a jack of all trades” to help West Ham get out of trouble. “If he plays for a top team and has a role, whether that’s you want him to score goals and play the role of a box-to-box midfielder, or you want him to sit there and protect your back four, once he holds that position down then you will see the true value of the player,” Johnson told Betfred.
“Right now at West Ham, Declan’s trying to be a jack of all trades and rightly so as he’s trying to do his best for the team. He’s trying to make tackles, he’s trying to score goals and he’s trying to protect the back four. You can’t do it all. “If you’re valued by your club at £150 million, then you need to be the best player in your position but Declan can’t justify that value at the moment because he’s trying to do everything.”
