I meant if West Ham sold Rice 4 years ago. Where Onana is now is where Rice was then...
...although Rice hadnt pushed out players like Tielemans or Witzel from the national team.
The fact is, not wanting change and being frightened of it...is why the club has been failing.
"He's been a good servant" or "hes saved us" is great when you dont mind failing.
When you look back at successful teams, the ones who get stuck or fall off their perch (like United incredibly) are those who hold onto players too long.
The whole way FFP is designed is to favour selling clubs. Now is the time to sell.
