And hence why the Rodri signature is so vital on that contract extension.
I suspect RM are using their dirty tricks to unsettle Rodri. It started in the Euros with Carvahal telling the media "everyday I told Rodri to come to Real". Then when Rodri was pisssed up at the Euro celebrations a Madridista wound him up to sing that anti British song about Gibraltar, bad optics. Oh and purely by coincidence, RM media start testing City out with stories about their Rodrygo being available. So me thinks Real desperately want our Rodri but can't afford the £130m fee. They are hoping to get him via a swap deal plus eg £30m ie on the cheap. They are crafty bustards, personally I wouldn't sell that mob a virus. Slightly paranoid here, but I didn't like the way Rodri sauntered back to the Academy and and Pep saying "I haven't seen him move yet"... I smell a big white Rat....

Sam Lee suggesting the potential striker signing has "an air of CFG" about it, in terms of us being recommended the striker by someone Soriano or Txiki might know. Unsure how it could be Ivan Toney based on those words but we'll find out in a week anyway.
Castellenos then

Dirty tricks?

Both clubs had a meeting pre CL quarter final in the CL in Manchester to discuss players and transfer targets etc.

Madrid would be foolish not to be asking/talking to us or Rodri's agents, he is a game changing player and if they thought for one second there was a chance to get him they would be all over it.

The same applies to us, if we thought there was a chance we could remotely get Vinny or Rodrygo, you think we would not be at it?

Rodri's signature for me is as equal to Pep's in terms of our future continued success.
 
I’m surprised we don’t seem to have a plan for after Alvarez left. I wasn’t surprised about it at all and made sense for him. I get Savio will take a lot of minutes but did we always just plan Haaland and false 9?

Rodri is 28 now, so it could be his last chance to ever play for Real. Don't get me wrong I'm desperate for us to lock him down with an extension. I just feel those bustards are seriously trying it on with him in the background. He's so good that he has all the power, but thankfully he's too expensive even for Real. For a Spaniard the draw of RM is very powerful, something we don't fully get. If he's had enough of us and fancies going back to Madrid it would be the ultimate test of Pep's loyalty maxim, if you don't want to be here then "see ya"....

If he were to turn his back on them at this time it would be an incredible testimony to us and our standing as a club.
 
Also if Walker goes I’ll be disappointed that we didn’t know and could have used Couto. Some will say he’s not good enough but could have come in behind Lewis who knows the system perfectly.

Although I don’t think Walker goes.

Maybe Walker needs to escape his complicated life and also raise some money, his love life is burning his cash rapidly.

True he’s in a real mess for sure. Although I thought he had some positive news last time at court basically saying she’s irresponsible with money.

We signed him from Atletico Madrid, why would he be desperate to play for Real?

He still has to pay and has already paid a fortune and I am sure I have read he is still living apart from his wife in a club owned apartment.

Madrid want Rodri not sign a new contract and if he doesn't we will sell him we can't let a player like Rodri go for free! But the thing with Madrid now they sit and wait so they can get him for nought

He’ll be 31 by the time they can get him for free

Definitely shit for sure. Good to hear the club are standing by him although seems to be a character to say the least of the field.

If he stays I’ll fully support him. Think with everything going on in this country almost rules out going to Saudi.
