Rice is now widely regarded to be one of the very best players in his specific position in world football.

The West Ham fans have known this for quite some time but it seems as though those outside of the London Stadium are slowly beginning to catch on.

Every week it seems as though another pundit creeps out from under the woodwork and admits that they got it wrong with their initial verdicts on Declan Rice.

And there is yet another one to add to the ever growing list this morning…

Woodhouse took to Twitter today when asked about Rice’s £150 million valuation. West Ham are demanding the huge fee for the 23-year-old’s services according to The Daily Mail.

And Woodhouse firmly believes that he’s worth every penny:

Not sure I’ve ever been as wrong about a player as I was Declan Rice! I think I said I’d rather have uncle Bens rice instead!! He’s a proper proper player, right out of the old school. Can do it all, take his age into consideration he’s 150 million pound player. Yea I said it! https://t.co/yU0Kin3Kdg

Well said Curtis and he’s absolutely spot on. It takes a big man to admit when they were wrong.

Declan Rice is a sensational footballer and he continues to go from strength to strength under the guidance of David Moyes at the London Stadium.

The 23-year-old has been a standout performer in the Premier League and in Europe this season.

Let’s hope that the West Ham owners show some real ambition in the transfer market in the summer that will help convince Dec to remain in East London for at least a few more years.
