If he's gone in the Summer I don't blame him one bit. A player like Rodri deserves to be in a side competing for every trophy. We flogged him to death then he had to sit on the sidelines and watch as the house burnt down around him.
I hope to fuck he signs a new deal obviously but he'll get no accusations of disloyalty from me if he runs his deal down. We've let him down. He's never ever let us down.
I think the story on WATSS about him wanting to leave because Ederson got stick online is total bollocks though. Every player gets that abuse when they fuck up because it comes from the African and Indians who bet half their monthly wage on the Premier League, felt like a made up story by someone with an agenda against other City fans imo. Going to join Madrid because the fans are nicer to the players just doesn't make any sense as they are the worst fanbase in football for that!

It should be Vianas highest priority to sort this extension out asap. We are already leaving it late.
We should have done it when he got injured. I knew this shit would happen when he had to rehab in Spain for months with agent fucking Carvahal in his ear.
(What a job the surgeon did with Carvahal btw can't believe he's already back playing his injury was disgustingly brutal)

Yeah I know Pep prefers another surgeon but Sane/ Gundo/ Mendy they were all awful after ACL's.
Only Gundo prospered as he learned to play a different way.. I mean pre acl Gundo was a pacy dribber.
After ACL he learned to shield the ball with his body and get fouls.. it worked great for us for a few years but not everyone can change the way they play!

I think it did Gundo a favour in a weird way because he had the time to get his chronic back problem that had affected his whole career sorted. I think he had a nose job to aid his breathing while he was out aswell. Clever bloke Ilkay, turned a bad situation into a net positive. Also changed how he played as you mentioned.

In a strange way this Rodri situation is the best thing that could have happened the club now. They have no option but to show him we mean business from January on

Nobody expected this start to the season - Rodris reaction to it - And Madrids reaction to Rodris reaction .It's not exactly a situation that happened today, we've had all summer to show him we mean business.

We’ve shown we mean business when you look at the expenditure from Jan. No player could look at how much we’ve spent and suggest we aren’t showing ambition. The question is, have we spent that money well? Time will tell but if not, I expect he will be off and you could hardly blame him.In a strange way this Rodri situation is the best thing that could have happened the club now.

Shocked he played the full match.Glad to see him back. He looked fucked by the end and our control went out the game.
PS you know its bad when Rodri plays and we still lose
He won't move, he has two years left on his contract. Along with Haaland, he's one of the family jewels. The owners would rather see him leave on a free at 31 than sell him, like the Qataris with Mbappé at PSG. City made him a Ballon d'Or winner and supported him during his injury, and received a lot of love from the French fans. He'll have a contract that no one will offer him elsewhere in Europe. PSG has Vitinha, Barça is broke and has no money, Real Madrid has shown him too much disrespect. Next summer, when the club spends $400 million to acquire Barcola, Olise, Livramento, and Wharton or Beleba, he'll quickly understand that there's no better place for him than here. He won't move.

I would argue that many expected us to not bounce back to our best this season and certainly not at the start, barely anyone thought we would compete for the league this season. Hardly surprising that a player like Rodri is not happy about losing and even less surprising that Real Madrid are monitoring the situation as they have done in the last year or so. Everyone could have seen this coming. With that said, there is obviously still time for Viana to get a new Rodri deal sorted.Nobody expected this start to the season - Rodris reaction to it - And Madrids reaction to Rodris reaction .

just been reading a few quotes from Rodders about how things on and off the pitch aren’t quite right. Hope we can get him to sign an extension but wouldn’t be surprised at all if he decides to move on.

We fucked up after the 4 in a row not rebuilding the team so there are no quick fixes. Think we get a top 4 this year but maybe compete better next season.
This year the spine and the middle of the park needs to gel and we may need to wait a while for things to click.
When they click he may change his mind or he may be more convinced he needs to leave.
It's obvious though he's the lone remaining person as KDB/ Gundo/ Bernardo/ Grealish/ Ederson/ Stones/ Akanji are gone/ on their way out.

Madrid tapping up has already started. He's also Madrids main target next summer. After the disrespect I would hope he wouldn't give them the time of day.

Maybe he's pointing out some of our recent acquisitions from the Bundesliga were not really team players - hopefully now pursuing their fortunes elsewhere. Not at all sure that Traff in particular has enjoyed the vibe.
Interesting - I’m trying to work out who you’re referring to here mate, but the only recent Bundesliga acquisition I can think of is Marmoush - and I can’t imagine he would be so disruptive as to have pissed off Rodri (and Traff) to the extent where he’s giving off about it in public like that.
Very worrying to his Rodri contract business because 2 years ago he would be a shoe in for a new contract but now I’m not so sure and if I had to pick I’d say he will go to Madrid because we have dropped the ball and he isn’t winning another ballon dor with this team for a few seasons and while we are at it big erl looks really pissed off aswell so he needs appeasing . We face got some work to do .
