He's been heavily linked all summer with the two clubs who finished above us last season. As well as dross like united.
If rumours are to be believed, they've mainly been put off by the fact that Rodrygo is holding out for City.But unless it's been a closely guarded secret no club has made any steps to actually sign him. Maybe put off by the cost?
Nearly every player is linked with a move atsome point.

I'm pretty relaxed about this one tbh. I think he's far better than some on here are giving him credit for and would add the goals that we were lacking last season, but if it doesn't happen it almost certainly means Savinho stays so I see it as a win-win.
Ok pal, let’s leave it there. Facts are now “out of context”Just checking to see if you actually watched him at all.
I'm not going to go down the route of debating out of context numbers. It's silly.
September 1 at 7pmWhen does the transfer window close?
Quite a lot of stuff on the boil isn’t there!

What’s the context then?Facts don't provide their own context. Neither do stats. It's up to you to put them in context so that you understand them better and don't misuse them.
They are good numbers when you are forced to play as the foil for the likes of Vini Jr and Mbappe imo,From the bloke I replied too….
But 6g and 6a in 30 games last year and 10g 5a the year before would be considered pretty average for a Madrid forward you could argue.
If he was putting up those numbers for Celta Vigo, would this forum be asking to spend 80m on him?
But Pep rates him and that’s the important thingWhat’s the context then?
His numbers are average, he’s been punted around the team because he’s not been good enough to have nailed down a position. Two successive managers have now failed to make him a key part of their team and he rarely performs internationally.

Go and check his champions league record, and record in big games. Pep can turn him into a machine like he did Sterling, he’s an intelligent player.
My only concern is that he’s kicked up a fuss about playing RW for years, and that’s probably where he’d feature most for us.
Where have you seen that?Newcastle have been linked last night with an interest in Rico...........
He also rates Akanji.But Pep rates him and that’s the important thing
You say Mbappe and Bellingham like he wouldn’t be walking into a team with Haaland, Foden and Marmoush. Rodrygo is going to be playing fourth choice again if he comes here, so we’re paying 80m for 10g+aRemember how Benzema's numbers absolutely skyrocketed when ronaldo left?
Rodrygo plays with Vinicius, Mbappe and Bellingham. Those are three absolutely massive fucking egos. Rodrygo doesn't demand centre stage like they do and is happy to facilitate them. We don't operate like they do.
And for all this "he's not been good enough" talk, he's still a play Real Madrid really don't want to lose and will demand a huge fee to part with.

Where have you seen that?
Buzzing to reintegrate treble winner Kalvin Phillips once he’s recovered.Treble winner Manuel Akanji? Fancy that.
True Doku will never reach his productive 6g 6a seasons or 10goal and 5 assists seasons.Doku will never be at Rodrygo's level.
