I find this worse than the grealish saga to take tbh, firstly as season ticket holder for a number of years and secondly he has used us for his own gain, whether he got a new agent or not is irrelevant to me, his age is irrelevant, the board and wilshere and noble should also be deemed irrelevant he made this call when he played against Turkey, kissing the badge etc, there is no financial gain in international football directly, he owes us a serious apology as fans if he chooses England, if I was the fai I would feel very used ,more so because even when Duffy mcclean and Gibson were involved with the North at whatever stage they didn't come out kissing the badge and basically saying he would stick with us, those of you that go too games should be very angry, ultimately he has taken somebody else's place, and I will never forgive him for that, if this was Scotland or Wales they simply wouldn't want him, some of you on this are somewhat sympathetic towards him, he has potential no doubtin that, but I don't ever want him near the squad, he has taken it a step further than grealish and anyone else I can remember, let him go now

Gold is some shyster. Low balling Rice with contract offers all summer and now proclaiming him the next Bobby Moore. I think we have our answer to what happend

Think it's just a case of like the big Premiership clubs sweeping up all the available young talent.....they've all got dozens and dozens of players out on loan (Chelsea in particular) who I don't believe will ever have a future at those clubs....Rice could switch to England there's no going back and never get a full cap .....tho tbf I thought the same of Grealish at the time, but his rate of progression the past couple years says he will eventually |

Can people please stop comparing Rice's predicament to Irish men such as McClean, Duffy and Gibson playing for Ireland.
It's a completely different situation, although England is at the root of both.

In my mind, once he took the first cap then his decision should have been made. End of. I know the rules don’t support that argument but he should have had the decency to take a step back if he wasn’t sure that Ireland was his team before that first senior appearance. I’m embarrassed to say that I’m actually raging about this.

Don't think any of have as many as three caps. Thiago Motta got 2 for Brazil before he jumped and played for Italy. Not an honorable move but Brazil didn't want him at that stage and he hadn't played for them in 8 years.

Neil Fewings is Rice's new agent according to the West Ham board. Anyone know anything about him?

Reckon David Gold and WHU have stumped up more cash for his contract provided he declares for England.

what about all Declan’s interviews over the last twelve months,where he said among other things so much positive and believable stuff like he had no Choice to make between ireland and England ...singing the anthem and kissing the badge ... and now this today..it is hard to take but it will be interesting to hear what he has to say himself.. maybe he will stay with Ireland

more respect for Grealish at least he didn’t accept a call up, kiss the badge and also say he definitely wasn’t going to switch.
Not sure if anyone reads the secret footballer books? Dave kitson was Callum o’dowdas agent and tried to make him reject a call up for Ireland as 5 caps for England is worth more than 50 for Ireland in terms of being able to command better contracts and endorsements etc. O’dowdas dad was having none of i

It's nearly unprecedented for a player to be capped a few times at senior level and then reveal a few weeks later he's thinking about switching allegiance. Previous cases have involved a player falling out of favour with the first country or drifting out of the squad. It would be one thing if Rice had last played 18 months ago but it looks bad on him that he was playing for us only a few weeks ago. |

Im with mclean and killer on this, playing for Ireland is not a difficult decision. If we tolerate this half arsed commitment we will lose our strongest trait.

McClean weighing into this story really isn’t going to help the situation. Just can’t help himself it seems
