16 | Rodri 2024/25

Rodri loves it here, he appreciates city, he's very humble and doesnt seek the limelight, he's an ex atleti player, real Madrid disrespected him massively upon being crowned the best in the world, all their mouth pieces did the same under their instructions, Rodri is not going to forget all that and jump into bed with them at the first sign of interest. They well and truly fucked any chance they may have had of getting him when they threw their toys out of the pram. He'd also bot be appreciated there where it's all about "galactico's" and not to mention they've got 2 of the costliest holding midfielders who are both younger than Rodri already in tchouameni and camavinga. You can all stop shitting your knickers at the prospect of him going there, he'll spend the best part of his career, if not the rest of it, a blue.

The former has been linked with moves away and Camavinga hasn't nailed down that holding position. They have also lost the experience of Kroos and will eventually lose Modric. Different position but important for setting the pace of the game. Those two you mentioned don't have the positional awareness of Rodri or the same ability to control the tempo. The prospect of playing in his hometown is always going to be attractive.

I wasn't comparing them to Rodri, I mentioned them simply because they're both young, expensive and highly thought of defensive midfielders and what they do with them presents just another barrier amongst the many others I mentioned.

Can't be that attractive of a prospect because Rodri has played in his hometown already. He left to come here and became the best player on the planet in doing so.

He came here, won it all and has achieved the highest individual award. It's possible he won't be quite as good a player after the injury and is now entering the later part of his career.
 
By the time Rodri's contract runs out.. we may have created the next Rodri in midfield already.. you just never know how these things go..

I mean Kun had 3 20+ goal seasons under Pep and then had 16 goals midway through the 19-20 season and then the meniscus injury happened. As much as we love him.. he just was not the same player after that injury! :(
