If Riedewald's half the player Rice is, can we ask for 45mil? Judging by his waist size I would say Jaro is twice the player

He might be a good player but how strong does a team have to be in every position to warrent spending this much on a defensive midfielder? I do get the logic, but you look at the effect someone like Rodri has had on City's team, and it's fairly transformative. Even at a lower level, Doucoure had a massive effect for us.

Unfortunately £100 m seams now to be the going rate for a top young player. The thing that seams to have shifted recently is the willingness to pay 100m for someone with 1 year remaining on their contract. How that can be justified is beyond me.

 His relation Boiled is thrown in for free, but there is an extra charge for Fried.

 if he joins Arsenal, it could be a marriage made in hell. Nobody throwing confetti or Rice.

 Rice is a very good defensive midfielder ,one of the best even . For £100m though I would be looking for some attacking input to go with his defensive quality . He will improve that part of his game playing for a better side though with gaps being opened up in front of him , Arsenal will be a better side with him in it .

 A head scratcher. Exactly what Arsenal need and a great player but I'd like to see some magic for that money.

Arsenal will be better but so will City ,liverpool ,Chelsea ,Newcastle and Man Utd . And as mentioned Rice isnt going to set the world alight in the attacking third .
